Yes, they do attract the attention but does it take away the focus from real issues of development? Is Ubuntu becoming the next Apple trying to immitate it's ecosystem. It may be a co-incidence that Mac OS names it's releases after animals (specifically big cats). Just a thought. We go gag-ga only for a day or two and then settle down to work. Once in a while this hype is worth it. Consider it as vacations Imitate the Apple ecosystem. OSX names after cats? 10.7 was called Lion, then probably 10.8 will be called Witch and 10.9 as wardrobe :) -- Manish -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
[ubuntu-in] Ubuntu 11.10 to be called Oneiric Ocelot
Hi everyone, Mark just announced on his blog that Ubuntu 11.10 will be called Oneiric Ocelot http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/646 Quoted from his blog -- Oneiric means “dreamy”, and the combination with Ocelot reminds me of the way innovation happens: part daydream, part discipline. Ocelot is a nocturnal wildcat of Central America and South America PS: I guess many people will be facing problems pronouncing Oneiric -- Manish -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in

Re: [ubuntu-in] Ubuntu 11.10 to be called Oneiric Ocelot
The names are Interesting an part and parcel of the marketing spiel necessary to generate interest. No issues with that. I consider the 6 month release cycles too fast for comfort. Once a year should be a good time frame. Especially in a place like India where Internet access and speeds are too low to justify mass download and upgrade/update every few days/months. Of course we are far from the stage where we need to seriously worry because the base itself its too pidly. Anything that increases awareness and user acceptance/comfort/trust is fine. Let them have more names to get people on board. -- Regards Narendra Diwate -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
