"Beefy Miracle"

     Sounds like a new brand of dog food.

I voted a 0 on this name. Did anyone else complaining even vote? There was low voter turnout.

Sort of. "Beefy Miracle" has been an inside joke going back at least
several releases now. A number of people who like it decided to try
to get a release named after it. They just succeeded. I would have preferred
that they actually tried to get a legitimate connection from a previous
name to "Beefy Miracle", but they took a cheap short cut there that I
think takes away from the naming process.

In the end it isn't really a big deal and might end up getting extra
publicity for Fedora.

So, "a number of people" want to develop our next beefy miracle?

Will you folks f-ing grow up !?!

Unless you are happy with everyone telling the "these number of people" 
where to put their beefy miracle --- fill in the cliche yourself (does 
it still sound "cute" in this context and an inside joke you wish to 
exhibit to the world?)

Not to mention, that if this is indeed an "inside joke" it just goes 
further to advance the opinion of some that Fedora is "run" by a small 
group of "insiders" and everyone else (the user base) are "outsiders".

If it bugs you that much, consider taking part in the voting next time. ;)
That might also make it more difficult for small groups to push their
names.

It isn't about "insiders vs. outsiders" anymore (as with old Red Hat Linux
dist names), but just that release name proposals, discussing them and
voting for them isn't of much interest to many people. It may be considered
fun by some, but all that matters afterall is the quality of the distribution
not its name.

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/voting

One could vote only from 2011-10-04 to 2011-10-10, which isn't a lot of
time. Only a fraction of the possible voters have taken part. One must
know that "range voting" has been used, so the results are not a 1-to-1
mapping of votes to voters.

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/voting/results/relnamef17

I've voted for a different name. Only to support the effort and
the fact that one can influence the release name a little bit. Some
of the background for the final name proposals has been outright
boring: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Name_suggestions_for_Fedora_17

However, there has been some group effort behind the Beefy Miracle name
  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Hot_Dog
  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Meat_SIG
and I presume they have managed to attract a couple of voters for
reasons unknown.

It really doesn't bug me very much at all.  I have no idea what the 
names of F10, F11, F12, etc. are...and I get the feeling most people 
don't know and don't really care.

One would just hope that the name somehow embodies the spirit of Fedora 
and the Linux movement.  I don't see where this name does.  Guess I'm 
not "hip" or part of the "in" crowd.

   I've been using Red Hat products since the Red Hat 7 days...before 
their was a Fedora or Fedora Core.  I don't recall any "Beefy Miracle".

I frankly (no pun intended) don't think "Beefy Miracle" is a name to be 
proud of.

But, like you said, voting on a name isn't of interest to many people.  
Seems like more of a popularity contest like DWTS.  The best name/dancer 
doesn't always win only because one side puts on a better campaign and 
manages to get their friends to vote.

As I said, Frankly (pun intended) the name isn't a wiener with me.

I really should have left it at the "cholesterol" joke except that I had 
a thought of what others may think.

My problem with the name is that it conveys two different things, none
of which I want in my linux distribution.

The term "Beefy" does not chime with a lean and efficient distribution.

The term "Miracle" is something that is even worse. It is some
phenomenon that can not be explained (except by divinity). Do we really
want that in a linux distribution?

There may well be other interpretations that come to mind, but these
are what came to me right away.

I did not know the proceedings for voting or even that it was on, so it
is correct, I did not vote. Of course, that gives me no voice (which is
appropriate). However, it does not preclude me from having an opinion.

Wiktionary lists two non-meat related definitions for the word "beefy".

> 3. (informal) Strong or muscular.
> 4. (informal) Sturdy; robust.

Both seem to be rather desirable qualities in a Linux distribution.  :-)

Lean?  Fedora?  Shome mishtake shurely.

I think that "miracle" is more often used as a metaphor.  As a
description of free (as in gratis) software that's better than
software you have to pay for, "miracle" isn't entirely inappropriate.

Here´s what I first thought:

Beefy Miracle: it takes a lot of space, and runs by pure chance (with
divine intervention) - ie it takes a miracle for it to run.

Sure but the fact is that,  suggestions have been taken in openly,
announced widely (via fedora announce list),  voted upon etc gives you
the ability to have more than just a opinion here (which doesn't count
for anything).  Maybe for the next release onwards, people with strong
opinions on codenames should participate.

These people are "insiders" only to the extend that they have been
involved for a long time and care enough to know to these sort of
trivia. Other than that the information is transparently available in
many public places.   This is a open source project after all.

I'm not a developer, therefore no vote.

But I sure can have an opinion.

You don't need to be a developer, you just need to have a FAS Account.

So, if someone proposes an inappropriate name, and if enough people vote
for it, it'll get through.  There's no vetting of appropriate proposals,
in the first place?

Granted that this one's borderline, rather than extremely gross.  But it
makes you wonder what else might get through.

So where do we go to propose names?

I'd like to be able to vote for the ultra secret squirrel
code name for fedora 18 to be: "fedora 18".

Now *there's* a code name for you!

Other than a legal check for conflicts with trademarks etc,  that is
correct.  Any name can get through if someone proposes and enough people
vote for it.  Anyone with a Fedora account can vote and getting a
account takes only a few minutes.   You can't always get the name of
your choice but if you like a particular name or don't, you have the
ability to influence the result.  Use it.

Well, the Board does screen the names and only passes on to legal the
short list it chooses from those nominated by the community. This
makes good sense to not overburden legal and to discard things that
don't meet the requirements ... except in those cases where the Board
chooses to overlook the requirements. There is a filter before the
names get to legal though.

John and your emails certainly make it clear that this was handled 
within the bounds of democracy within Fedora and with Board/legal 
getting a look.

At this point, all I want to say is if the folks putting out F17 want 
that codename and they are prepared to make F17 good enough to justify 
their choice, all power to them and I look forward to seeing how it 
plays out.

Cheers

Why?

Beefy Miracle has a long history in Fedora, in fact it dates back to the
days of Red Hat Linux and as a tribute to one of the greatest Red Hat
releases ever it's just fair to have Fedora named "Beefy Miracle" 10
years later.

Just my 2 cents,
Christoph

Well, try to explain it to the users without talking in riddles.

Have we ever explained names like Tettnang or Zod?

Of course, except that early Fedora release names have been decided on
without voting.

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/History_of_Fedora_release_names
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fedora-_und_Red-Hat-Versionsnamen

The Fedora Release name process has become much more open compared with
Red Hat Linux ( http://www.smoogespace.com/documents/behind_the_names.html ).

Even during the RHL era. Red Hat Linux users that tried to figure out
the connection between consecutive release names. With Red Hat Linux
employees laughing their ass off about what connections the community
came up with in sometimes longer discussions.

None of these links explains the actual choices, they just explain how
the games works and what the connections are. 

Explaining the *name* doesn't mean to explain that Heidelberg is a City
in the German state of Baden-Württemberg but why Heidelberg was chosen
in favor of any other city in Baden-Württemberg.

You see: You are again explaining the rules rather than the choices.
While I have to admit that the connection is a little week this time,
the name itself is easy to explain. It is more related to Fedora than
any other name before.

Christoph

You could have rephrased your question (above) where you wrote
"Have we ever explained names like Tettnang or Zod?".

I don't care whether any other city in DE-BW or DE would have met the
requirements in the same way. It doesn't interest me _why_ Tettnang had
been proposed or _why_ Krosno and Uzhgorod had been the other choices
besides Heidelberg. If it's a fun game for some people to enter the
"competition" with a personal favourite release name that meets the
requirements, I tolerate that.

When the release name process opened up, voters could learn about _what_ a
name is, what it refers to, and the connections (if disclosed in the Wiki).  
Later users of a Fedora release would also start with figuring out what a
name refers to and then possibly ask why it had been chosen. They would
look up "Heidelberg" and draw their own conclusions. What would you tell
them if they asked why the dist was named after a city? Would you point
them at the guidelines or mention that the _real why_ is a secret?

The rules are public and official. A person's self-motivation isn't --
when entering the release name voting process with a personal favourite
name, which may meet the requirements but have some secret rationale.

And still you cannot avoid that users will find the story "childish" or
"silly". If they did, I would tolerate that.

Anyway, I don't think I want to hear the full story. Fragments of it
didn't sound too exciting. I do remember the pictures Anaconda displayed
during installation, such as the various hot-dog e.g. dancing "Limbo",
but why to continue there many years later, uhm... ;-)

Re: Results of the voting for the Fedora 17 release name

<snip>
The Fedora 16 release name is: Beefy Miracle
</snip>

Curious.
To me Fedora is neither beefy  nor a miracle.
Fedora renditions - here today gone tomorrow, life span of a moth 
dancing round a flame, a year passes and we update or suffer. At least 
that, to me, is the perceived threat.

What is beefy about that? Beefy to me means tasty, of substance, 
fulfilling, delicious. Not, as the image implies,  full of fat, gristle 
and bone flavoured with condiment and stuffed in an over aerated bread roll.

None of these are Fedora why? because Fedora is "Bleeding Edge" full of 
bugs and problems for the unwary and just when one has it working a 
treat, it's gone, like a will-o-wisp.

Miracle, I'd say not. Just a much better operating system which takes 
into account the lightening fast changes in technology. Fedora is out 
there on the edge, leading the way, it is the light at the end of the 
tunnel, the shining beacon to a better way.

  Personally I would have preferred names that signify leadership, 
quality, rapid development and resolution.

Having said that though, a beefy miracle in a roll is out of the 
digestive system in 24 hours as waste matter, flushed away without a 
thought. Is this an image for Fedora?
FWIW

First, the code name gets recorded in /etc/redhat-release..

Second, and more importantly, if gives us all something to discuss on the mailing list! :)
