It's that time of year again, time to name the next Eclipse release. The
Eclipse Kepler 
release<http://www.eclipse.org/projects/releases/releases.php>will
happen on June 26, 2013, but after that, we'll need a new name for the
following release (because calling the next release Kepler+1 gets awkward
over time). The naming responsibilities traditionally fall to the
Eclipse Planning
Council <http://www.eclipse.org/org/foundation/council.php#planning> and
preference will be given to names that start with *"L"*, but no strict rule
that other names would not be considered. On top of that, preference is
given to names that fit the moon, heavenly body gods, or scientists themes
we've had in the past years.

To add your name to the list of possible names, see bug
398191<https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=398191>.
Here's an initial list of names to get your creative juices flowing:

   - Lacus
   - Lakshmi
   - Leto
   - Leo
   - Leda
   - Loge
   - Lok
   - Luna

Have fun, the bugzilla
entry<https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=398191>will remain
open until January 22nd to gather suggestions for potential
names. After that, a community poll will be used to pick top choice. We may
have a series of run-off polls until a majority vote is achieved. The poll
should be opened on January 22nd with a week of voting allowed. The final
decision on the name will be made by Feb 15th at the latest, maybe earlier
depending how quickly final Legal approval is.
