Release Naming

OpenStack releases are numbered using a YYYY.N time-based scheme. For example, the first release of 2011 will have the 2011.1 version number. During the development cycle, the release is identified using a codename. Those codenames are ordered alphabetically: Austin was the first release, Bexar is the second, Cactus the third.

These codenames are chosen after a city or county near where the corresponding OpenStack design summit took place:

  • Austin: The first design summit took place in Austin, TX
  • Bexar: The second design summit took place in San Antonio, Bexar county.
  • Cactus: Cactus is a city in Texas
  • Diablo: Diablo is a city in the bay area near Santa Clara, CA

Only single words with a maximum of 10 characters are good candidates for a name. Bonus points for sounding cool.

E release naming

The E release name will be decided by popular vote using the basic Launchpad poll feature over the ~openstack group. Candidates are cities and counties near the next design summit place, starting with an E.
