Codenames for Debian are chosen from the Toy Story films [1]. It's not clear if you mean this or a dedication. Dedications [2] are rare and chosen by the release manager of the day. They are typically to someone who was actively involved in the project and gave over and above what we'd consider average involvement. I'm sorry, but your friend's advocacy of the distribution doesn't seem to me to fall into this category. You could consider organising some events yourself in honour of your friend, perhaps a party for the next release [3] or a bug squashing party [4] if there are enough people interested locally. 1: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianReleases#Codenames 2: http://ftp.debian.org/debian/doc/dedication/ 3: https://wiki.debian.org/ReleaseParty 4: https://wiki.debian.org/BSP -- Jonathan Wiltshire j...@debian.org Debian Developer http://people.debian.org/~jmw 4096R: 0xD3524C51 / 0A55 B7C5 1223 3942 86EC 74C3 5394 479D D352 4C51
