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

  • Pitts - Psychologist and Neural Network pioneer

Potential names not from the scheme

  • Pong/Ping
  • Micropig/Spiderpig
  • Bubbles, Buttercup & Blossom
