Re: [Elementary-dev-community] Luna +1's Name and Some Other Stuff
Yay, bike shedding! Wait for me! AFAIR the original plan was to use gods from the same pantheon for any given series, Roman for the 0.x series specifically, hence the name of the DE - Pantheon. So I looked for suitable Roman deities and I think I've found a great one. Continuing the trend, she's a Roman deity and has a celestial body in the Solar system named after her. What's more, according to a myth that was very widespread in late antiquity, she eventually moved to Egypt and became Isis! Behold Io! The Roman Isis that comes with a celestial body and a domain name hack! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Io_%28mythology%29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Io_%28moon%29 By the way, turns out http://elementary.io is already registered by Cassidy and currently redirects to elementaryos.org, so I feel like this was the plan all along. As for development, we have ~8 months till release, so this is going to be an iterative cycle. We're obviously not going for Wayland or Mir or anything equally new and fancy because that technology is not yet baked and will not be on par with the time-proven base by 14.04. It does look like we'll have another huge migration on our hands after that, though. So I'd probably start off by getting rid of all the technical debt we might have accumulated in the race to release and getting some tools to manage the increased complexity we're facing, e.g. unifying the way CMake works, providing better code documentation, adding some automated testing, etc. Next, since we're making an iterative cycle, I'd stop acting and start reacting. Like, make a list of things that people have trouble with in Luna and fix them. I have compiled an [incomplete] list of gripes people seem to have with Luna. Maybe we should run some user testing and see what causes issues? We can't afford organized user testing, but we could reach out to the community - say, provide people with testing methodology and ask people who spread elementary OS to carry out the testing and send in the results. Like run a user testing sprint to identify the issues the target audience has, and fix them. Sounds like a plan!

[Elementary-dev-community] Luna +1's Name and Some Other Stuff
Hey dudes (and hopefully a few dudettes these days), First of all, congratulations to all of you on 100k+ downloads in the first week. That is freaking killer. We're getting rave reviews and (despite bug #1 being closed) we keep hearing from tons of people that are first-time Linux users coming from Windows and Mac OS. If you haven't been in contact with this positive energy yet, I encourage you to hit up youtube for an ego boost. Now down to business! I'm writing to announce the codename of the next elementary release: Wanking Wallaby Jk. What is this, Ubuntu? I'm leaning strongly towards Isis for this one. It's short (2 syllables), should be generally pretty easy to pronounce, etc. Isis is the egyptian mother god of the throne, friend of slaves, sinners, artisans, and the downtrodden. You can read up more about her here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isis Munchor says I should go full Hitler and not allow any arguments, but if you think the name totally sucks you can definitely say that. If not, let's go with it! (And even if so, we'll probably still go with it!) Also, I think in general most of us think it would be the best idea to release Isis (see, I'm already going with it) as closely as possible to Ubuntu 14.04. We have a lot to prove about our ability to provide updates in a timely manner and we're getting some negative feedback from developers/nerds about our 12.04 base. So let's address that and make sure that elementary is the best open platform for both users and developers (and I guess nerds too). Cody is currently working on updating Congrego to spit out some super bleeding edge Saucy-based builds. If any of you are already on Saucy, you know how broken Pantheon currently is. Indicators and Plugs are huge problems that we need to address. We're considering moving both of these into lib peas plugins for Wingpanel and Switchboard (respectively). Any feedback on that plan is very welcome. In general, the first priority for Isis is going to be updating all of our apps to compile/run with the latest libraries. You should know that Midori with the latest webkitGTK is amazing. I'm working on porting eGtk and it's going pretty swell. You should also know that all the fancy libaccounts stuff is now available for someone to start playing with so we can get sweet online integration. I believe that Clutter with the touch-related bits is also available so that is also very exciting for those of use that have a multi-touch trackpad available. Anyways, let's get rolling on this cycle. We have 8 months to become even more awesome.

It's short (2 syllables), should be generally pretty easy to pronounce, etc. Isis is the egyptian mother god of the throne, friend of slaves, sinners, artisans, and the downtrodden. You can read up more about her here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isis Munchor says I should go full Hitler and not allow any arguments, but if you think the name totally sucks you can definitely say that. If not, let's go with it! (And even if so, we'll probably still go with it!) Also, I think in general most of us think it would be the best idea to release Isis (see, I'm already going with it) as closely as possible to Ubuntu 14.04. We have a lot to prove about our ability to provide updates in a timely manner and we're getting some negative feedback from developers/nerds about our 12.04 base. So let's address that and make sure that elementary is the best open platform for both users and developers (and I guess nerds too). Cody is currently working on updating Congrego to spit out some super bleeding edge Saucy-based builds. If any of you are already on Saucy, you know how broken Pantheon currently is. Indicators and Plugs are huge problems that we need to address. We're considering moving both of these into lib peas plugins for Wingpanel and Switchboard (respectively). Any feedback on that plan is very welcome. In general, the first priority for Isis is going to be updating all of our apps to compile/run with the latest libraries. You should know that Midori with the latest webkitGTK is amazing. I'm working on porting eGtk and it's going pretty swell. You should also know that all the fancy libaccounts stuff is now available for someone to start playing with so we can get sweet online integration. I believe that Clutter with the touch-related bits is also available so that is also very exciting for those of use that have a multi-touch trackpad available.

Re: [Elementary-dev-community] Luna +1's Name and Some Other Stuff
I will copy the text from wikipedia: She was worshipped as the ideal mother and wife as well as the patroness of nature and magic. She was the friend of slaves, sinners, artisans, and the downtrodden, and she listened to the prayers of the wealthy, maidens, aristocrats, and rulers. Looks like everyone is friend of Isis. The most interesting part is: The name Isis means Throne. As the personification of the throne, she was an important representation of the pharaoh's power. Isis is a very strong name, in fact elementary OS Isis is going to gain the throne of Linux, isn't it?

+1. I want to be able to install Pantheon on any distro. On Sat, Aug 17, 2013 at 12:57 AM, A. Xylon V. avlabs...@gmail.com wrote: I thought Jupiter was Roman and Zeus was greek? But anyway, the priority is clearly to get everything working on Saucy, and then do the stuff that the feature freeze didn't let us do. This includes removing X dependencies and moving away from Ubuntu dependant stuff. On Aug 16, 2013 10:51 PM, Cameron Norman camerontnor...@gmail.com wrote: But Jupiter is Greek!

That is freaking killer. We're getting rave reviews and (despite bug #1 being closed) we keep hearing from tons of people that are first-time Linux users coming from Windows and Mac OS. If you haven't been in contact with this positive energy yet, I encourage you to hit up youtube for an ego boost. Now down to business! I'm writing to announce the codename of the next elementary release: Wanking Wallaby Jk. What is this, Ubuntu? I'm leaning strongly towards Isis for this one. It's short (2 syllables), should be generally pretty easy to pronounce, etc. Isis is the egyptian mother god of the throne, friend of slaves, sinners, artisans, and the downtrodden. You can read up more about her here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isis Munchor says I should go full Hitler and not allow any arguments, but if you think the name totally sucks you can definitely say that. If not, let's go with it! (And even if so, we'll probably still go with it!) Also, I think in general most of us think it would be the best idea to release Isis (see, I'm already going with it) as closely as possible to Ubuntu 14.04. We have a lot to prove about our ability to provide updates in a timely manner and we're getting some negative feedback from developers/nerds about our 12.04 base. So let's address that and make sure that elementary is the best open platform for both users and developers (and I guess nerds too).
