System naming
Revision as of 15:50, 23 April 2010 by 198.147.192.8 (talk) (Added a few Neural Network luminaries.)
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
Potential names on the edge of the scheme
- McCullough - Neurophysiologist & Neural Network pioneer, may be too annoying to spell.
- Pitts - Psychologist and Neural Network pioneer
Potential names not from the scheme
- Pong/Ping
- Micropig/Spiderpig
- Bubbles, Buttercup & Blossom
