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
- Babbage (Server in the space)
- Turing (Bitfolk VM)
Potential names
Potential names not from the scheme
- Pong/Ping
- Micropig/Spiderpig
- Bubbles, Buttercup & Blossom
