The naming scheme of systems in the hackspace is "people involved in computing". However, pronunciation issues rule out names like Dijkstra, Kay and Hoare.
Old names
Names used on systems no longer in use.
- Knuth
Current names
- Turing (Bitfolk VM)
- Babbage (Server in the space)
- Lovelace (Workstation - Makerbot)
Potential names
- Booch
- Boole
- Church
- Cray
- Denning
- Draper
- Flowers
- Hamming
- Hopper
- Kohonen
- Lamarr or Hedy (sp?)
- Perlman
- Postel (sp?)
- Shannon (sp?)
- Wilson
Potential names on the edge of the scheme
- Armstrong - FM
- Asimov
- Bell
- Beer - Regulatory systems
- Black - Feedback amp
- Brown - Servomechanics
- Dirac - Quantum mechanics
- Edison
- Erwin - Userfriendly character
- Faraday
- Flood - Prisoner's dilemma, travelling salesman problem
- Gray - Music synth
- Heron - Automata
- Marconi - Radio telegraph
- Maxwell
- Moog
- Norton - Circuit analysis
- Pitts - Neural Networks
- Reeves - PCM
- Simon - AI
- Smith - RF analysis
- Tesla
Potential names not from the scheme
- Pong/Ping
- Micropig/Spiderpig
- Bubbles, Buttercup & Blossom
