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.
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
- Bexar (San Antonio, Texas): San Antonio is located in Bexar county
- Cactus: Cactus is a city in Texas
- Diablo (Santa Clara, California): Diablo is a city in the bay area near Santa Clara
- Essex (Boston, Massachusetts): Essex is a city near Boston
- Folsom (San Francisco, California): Folsom is a city near San Francisco

- Meiji (Tokyo, Japan): Meiji was the Emperor who made Tokyo into the capital of Japan. Meiji is also the name of a famous shrine as well as a park, both in Tokyo.
