Codename

A code name or cryptonym is a word or name used clandestinely to refer to another name or word. Codenames are often used in software projects and in military operations. (modified refererence from Wikipedia:Codename)

TWiki releases have codenames, they are capitals of the world listed in alphabetical order: AthensRelease, BeijingRelease, etc. The current release under development is GeorgetownRelease; all codenames are listed at TWikiProductionRelease.

Discussion

For the release after EdinburghRelease we need an "F-somthing" name. There are two possible names:

• Freetown, capital of Sierra Leone
• Funafuti, capital of Tuvalu

FunafutiRelease has been suggested. FreetownRelease sounds like a nice and easy to remember name.

Quick poll: (closed)

Result:
Freetown : 8
Funafuti : 2

• Note: At EdinburghReleaseMeeting2007x01x08 we decided to go for FreetownRelease, at that time favored 8 to 2 over FunafutiRelease. -- PTh - 08 Jan 2007

It is now time to decide for the codename of the "G"-release.

Result:
Georgetown : 5

As of 2007-05-07 we have 5 votes for Georgetown, and zero votes for Gaborone and Guatemala City. So, GeorgetownRelease it is!
