Names after Fedora 19
I thought that significant scientists should have distributions named after them
Jonas (Salk Vaccine)
Thomas Edison (bringing the lightbulb to production)
James Maxwell (Maxwells equations for Electricity and more)
Albert Einstein (E=mc^2)
and of course
another 500 scientists who deserve merit-us mention and a distribution named after them.
and me.
Leslie Satenstein (for suggesting a naming pattern)

Even if fedora was called blooming flowers, normal people would run away from it because you have to add a third party repo for every stupid app like chromium or vlc. Combined with the alpha quality regression testing, only power users will care to use it.

Fedora 19 Might Be A Prime Rib Or Crop Circle
Phoronix: Fedora 19 Might Be A Prime Rib Or Crop Circle
It's time to begin proposing codenames for Red Hat's Fedora 19 release. While the codename proposal process just began this morning, as usual, there's already a variety of funky codenames being shared...
