I would say to support Ben getting the voting open the day after collection ends, it is important for the IoT to be continuously vetting the contributions as they coming in Mar 2-16. I'm teaching all week but I'll add it to my calendar to review names while proctoring the exam at the end of the week.
Agreed. Setting up the election will be a fairly quick process. It's the vetting of names that will take time, so if we're doing that as we go, that helps.
It has been a long time since I (or any of) was involved in naming Fedora releases but I remember the submission wiki having some guidelines for what to check before submitting a name so it would not get tossed as an obvious bad candidate.
Will the collection wiki have a place for noting that a name will be discarded as a bad candidate?
I'd planned on saying we'll reject:
- Trademarks
- Obviously offensive/derogatory names (or initialisms)
- References to living people
Anything else we should add to the rejection list? I'll also include an optional "explain why this ties in to IoT" so that if it's an in-community reference, we can consider that.
Just refer to "IoT or device edge".
All the rest of this looks good to me. Thanks for kicking this off.
