Beefy Miracle was basically a joke from our team about how dumb release names were in general. They finally stopped naming releases and I'm happy.

I didn't buy one. It was given to me by Shalinor because I made a bear pun in the Kickstarter Gaming thread.

Or you could try the Ubuntu thing and rebrand every release.


Although this has the downside of about 30% of the posts about Ubuntu consisting of random alliterative release name "suggestions"

We basically try to do this for "public-facing" information. But, like, open source.

Sure. What would you prefer us do? Year dot month like Ubuntu? Branding like Windows? Rolling release like Arch? Arbitrarily bump major versions like Android?

It's Fedora 21 because there are 21 versions of Fedora. They come out every six months.

Really, it would be great if Fedora wasn't a piece of poo poo and apps and core OS versioning aren't bundled together, so you can update them independently, but that would require us to have a same app distribution strategy.

... And that's exactly why I'm here at the west coast summit. Lennart, Kay, Greg, and a bunch of other hackers are here and we're discussing Wayland and kdbus and app bundles and sandboxing.

Nothing I've read about Kay makes him look good at all.

Lennart in comparison seems much better.

That's been an existing joke for a while. I was right there when the suspended primadonna pic was taken, we were all laughing and having a good time
