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

'''Virtual instances treated slightly differently:''' Please note that the naming scheme of virtual machines or containerised systems is to be nearer to their purpose. An example of a VM passing messages via MQTT might be "mqtt-gateway" or "message-hub" instead of "vanrossum" | '''Virtual instances treated slightly differently:''' Please note that the naming scheme of virtual machines or containerised systems is to be nearer to their purpose.
