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 - Electrical engineering
- Erwin - Userfriendly character
- Faraday
- Flood - Prisoner's dilemma, travelling salesman problem
- Gray - Music synth
- Heron - Automata
- Marconi - Radio telegraph
- Maxwell - Electromagnetic theory
- Moog
- Norton - Circuit analysis
- Pitts - Neural Networks
- Reeves - PCM
- Simon - AI
