Ide Seputar Nama Distro dari OpenMandriva Mulai Bermunculan

Posted on November 23, 2012

Sesuai kesepakatan dalam rapat Cooker yang dilaksanakan tanggal 22 November 2012 pukul 22.00 WIB (aslinya pukul 15.00 CET), disepakati sudah saatnya ditampung ide-ide seputar nama masa depan dari distribusi linux yang akan dirilis oleh OpenMandriva nanti. Anda bisa melihatnya di halaman wiki berikut:

https://wiki.mandrivalinux.org/index.php/Future_Name

Saya lebih suka dengan nama Moondrake. Beberapa nama yang mengemuka antara lain:

Alba:

Aurora:

Azzurra:

ComDrake:

Communiedrake:

cons: 5 syllables

Condrake:

cons: con in french is a kind of insult.

I don’t like Condrake, but I don’t see “con” in it. I rather see “cond” like “conduire” (conduct), like a leader in a flight of ducks Jcl vanier (talk) 23:18, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

Cooker:

The name of the dev branch of Mandriva, could be used as name of the Association Distribution also.

Dracaena:

  • The sound reminds Drake from mandrake.
  • The tree is a good symbol for stability, life, roots, ecosystem, interaction with environment… The dracaena can live and survive in harsh environments (deserts, jungle), alone or in forest, or live in appartment (versatility). It’s also listed by the NASA as one of the few air-filtering plants.
  • It can be interesting to use species names as release name (there are many beautiful names) :
    • Lucky Bamboo
    • Gold Dust
    • Reflexa
    • Draco
    • Americana
    • Bicolor
    • Bois de chandelle (Candle Wood)
    • India’s Song
    • Belgian Evergreen
    • Dragon Blood
    • Gran Canaria
    • Dragonnier (Dragon rider)
    • Fragrans
    • …
  • Nice pictures here : http://www.flickriver.com/photos/tags/dracaena/interesting/
  • Dracaena is also a kind of caiman lezard
  • Variants: Drakaena

Drakkar:

Drakkar is a french word for fabulous Viking ship.

Contrary to what one might think, the word Drakkar doesn’t mean boat but is derived from the Scandinavian “Drake”, Dragon (and not the Norse “Dreki” or “Drekar” which also means “Dragon”). Indeed, legend often include an effigy of a Dragon in Scandinavian ships’ bow. However, the term was not used by the Vikings, and does not exist in ancient or modern Scandinavian languages. It is a barbarism introduced in the French language in the nineteenth century to describe the Viking ships from the Middle Ages, the French word originally used, snekkja, was again an error because the meaning of “Snake” is closer to Jormungandr than to dragon…
