The naming scheme of systems in the hackspace (hostname) is "people involved in computing" [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_pioneers_in_computer_science] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PARC_(company)#Distinguished_researchers].  This includes pioneers in similar relevant fields.  Please note that pronunciation and spelling difficulties may rule out names like Dijkstra, Kay and Hoare.

The naming scheme of virtual machines or containerised systems is to be close to its purpose. An example of a VM passing messages via MQTT might be "mqtt-gateway" or "message-hub" instead of "vanrossum"
