Caution

Information here is obsolete. See Release Naming

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, etc.

These codenames are chosen by condorcet vote of the OpenStack Foundation membership. Codenames are cities or counties near where the corresponding OpenStack design summit took place. An exception (called the Waldon exception) is granted to elements of the state flag that sound especially cool. That exception was extended to other major landmarks and reference points.

Austin (Austin, Texas): The first design summit took place in Austin, TX
2011.1 Bexar (San Antonio, Texas): San Antonio is located in Bexar county
2011.2 Cactus: Cactus is a city in Texas
2011.3 Diablo (Santa Clara, California): Diablo is a city in the bay area near Santa Clara
2012.1 Essex (Boston, Massachusetts): Essex is a city near Boston
2012.2 Folsom (San Francisco, California): Folsom is a city near San Francisco
2013.1 Grizzly (San Diego, California): Grizzly is an element of the state flag of California
2013.2 Havana (Portland, Oregon): Havana is an unincorporated community in Oregon
2014.1 Icehouse (Hong Kong): Ice House is a street in Hong Kong
2014.2 Juno (Atlanta, Georgia): Juno is a locality in Georgia
2015.1 Kilo (Paris, France): Paris (Sèvres, actually, but that's close enough) is home to the Kilogram, the only remaining SI unit tied to an artifact
2015.2 Liberty (Vancouver, British Columbia): Liberty is a village in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan
2016.1 Mitaka (Tokyo, Japan): Mitaka is a city located in Tokyo Metropolis, Japan
2016.2 Newton (Austin, Texas): The "Newton House", located at 1013 E. Ninth St., Austin, TX, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places
2017.1 Ocata (Barcelona, Spain): Ocata is a beach about 20 minutes north of Barcelona by train

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

Prior to being put to a vote, name candidates will be listed on this wiki page. Community members are encouraged to raise concerns about any potentially highly controversial names at this time.

After the vote, the names are vetted for legal entanglements. The top-most result without issues will be chosen as the release name.

Historical Changes

The voting system changed over time:
- Prior to the J release, the popular vote was conducted using the basic Launchpad poll feature over the ~openstack group.
- For the J & K release, a public survey monkey poll was used

-OpenStack releases are numbered using a YYYY.N time-based scheme. For example, the first release of 2012 will have the 2012.1 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, etc.

-== "I" release cycle naming ==
+Prior to being put to a vote, name candidates will be listed on this wiki page. Community members are encouraged to raise concerns about any potentially highly controversial names at this time.
-The next OpenStack summit will happen in Hong Kong.
-That creates a pretty challenging naming problem, since there is no word starting with "i' in classic transliteration of Chinese words. So the Technical Committee is willing to bend the rules ''a little'' to extend the range of candidates... Feel free to add suggestions to the list below.
+After the vote, the names are vetted for legal entanglements. The top-most result without issues will be chosen as the release name.
-* '''Ili''' (a famous autonomous prefecture name in Xinjiang in China with a beautiful grassland, 伊犁, see also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ili_Kazakh_Autonomous_Prefecture and http://baike.baidu.com/view/37642.htm)
+=Historical Changes=
-* '''Icehouse''' (Ice house street is a street in Hong-Kong. It's also a Miller beer and a rock band, which may or may not be a problem)
+* The voting system changed over time:
-* '''Inspiration''' (there is an Inspiration lake in Hong-Kong. But it's a cheesy artificial theme park, and a 11-letter word)
+** Prior to the J release, the popular vote was conducted using the basic Launchpad poll feature over the ~openstack group.
-* '''Islands''' (there is an Islands district in Hong-Kong. But it spreads a wrong image of non-interoperability)
+** For the J & K release, a public survey monkey poll was used
-* '''Innermongolia''' (Inner Mongolia is a region of China. But it is a VERY long word)
-* '''Itbayat''' (there is an Itbayat island in South China sea relatively near Hong Kong, but it's in Philippines)
-* <strike>Imperial (the sun never set on the british empire... which gave up Hong Kong to china in the 90s, placing it in it's current unique status.)</strike> (This is political, and isn't a place name)
-* '''Incense''' ("Hong Kong" literally means "Fragrant Harbour", as local incense trees were responsible for turning HK into a thriving trading post since the 14th century)
-* '''Ichang''' (Ichang street, 宜昌街, one of the shortest streets in Tsim Sha Tsui)
-* '''Inverness''' (Inverness road, 延文禮士道, a quiet street nears Kowloon Walled City. a community of older mansions. A trade school called Arts and Technology Education Centre (藝術與科技教育中心) is also located there. Some of the most famous schools in HK are also near Inverness Road. Oh. Lee Shau Kee School of Creativity right across the road. Kowloon Walled Park is also around.)
