The naming scheme of systems in the hackspace (hostname) 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)
- Flowers (Media PC)
- Postel The SGI O2
- Bell The door/building management controller
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
- Armstrong - FM
- Asimov
- Bell
- Beer - Regulatory systems
- Black - Feedback amp
- Brown - Servomechanics

- Gray - Music synth
- Heron - Automata
- Marconi - Radio telegraph
- Maxwell - Electromagnetic theory
