Re: [Design-team] Concepts for F14
Hi, Sorry to interfere on this thread. You provide good information but there also some other possible associations, one of them being scottish and translates Laughlin as "from lochs". An online etymology dictionary points into something way different, a Scandinavian word meaning: one from norway. Which makes sense considering Norwegians and Danish men conquered most Great Britain during the 9th and 10th centuries, so a bond can be established with scotts and irish. http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=Laughlin If it's interesting to anyone I would probably recommend people running the name through several etymology dictionaries and reporting their postings. Most likely will help many artists. I hoped I helped a bit.

Hy there, hopefully nobody forgets the physician http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_B._Laughlin and his work on the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_Hall_effect so my interpretation would be a more surreal concept work here and mathematical pictures ;-) Thats a challenge: the more or less ... lets say chaotic way of designing and producing art combined with the structured mathematical patterns used by scientists. mit freundlichen Grüßen / best regards Henrik Heigl - wonde...@fedoraproject.org PGP/GnuPG: 8237 D432 0616 D567 DBC6 3FE3 0D52 B374 F468 A5F0 Am 12.05.2010 04:23, schrieb Máirín Duffy: > Hi Onyeibo, > > On Tue, 2010-05-11 at 19:42 +0100, Onyeibo Oku wrote: > >> Meanwhile here is an intel on the name Laughlin: >> >> Meaning of "Laughlin" >> Irish name >> In Irish, the name Laughlin means- servant. >> The name Laughlin orginated as an Irish name. >> The name Laughlin is most often used as a boy name or male name. >> >> Irish Name Meaning - servant >> Origin - Ireland >> > So it seems Laughlin is an Anglicization of *two* different names! > Indeed one of them, ó Máeilsheáchlainn in Gaeilge, means "servant of St. > Secundums."

Laugh / Lin and Lin was many times used regarding Linux... there was even an old "loadlin.exe" and probably many other situations. Dangerous road, but I would assume that no one will turn that to us as free ammunition.

The suggestion for the name included this thematic material: Robert Goddard was a professor of physics, and so is Robert Laughlin. He was awarded the 1998 Nobel Prize in physics for his explanation of the fractional quantum Hall effect. Moreover he argues for emergence which is a concept that says "The whole is more than the sum of its parts". Fedora is more than the sum of its software. . . . [Theme suggestion:] Something that can illustrate the emergence concept, like multiple objects combined to create a new one (more complex). Perhaps this could spark some interesting ideas! -- Paul W.
