Current names
- Turing (Bitfolk VM)
- Babbage (Server in the space)
- Lovelace (Workstation - Makerbot)
- Flowers (Media PC and Door control system)
- Postel The SGI O2
Potential names
- Booch
- Boole
- Borg
- Church
- Cray
- Denning
- Draper
- Hamming
- Hopper
- Kohonen
- Lamarr or Hedy (sp?)
- Perlman
- Shannon (sp?)
- Wilson
Potential names on the edge of the scheme
