The rules and procedure for naming Juno +1 will be similar to what has happened in the past. However, we will try to do it a bit earlier this time around (different from previous years). The name should be alphabetically greater than "J." Preference will be given to "K" names, but no strict rule that others would not be considered. Preference given to names that fit the "moon", "heavenly body gods", or "scientists" themes we've had so far, but no strict rule. This cross-project bugzilla entry will remain open to solicit names, until January 1st to gather suggestions for potential names. The planning council will then meeting and remove any names deemed unsuitable for any reason (as always, the Planning Council has final responsibility for the name). Following the gathering of the list of names in this bugzilla, a community poll will be used to pick top choice. We may have a series of run-off polls, voting until majority achieved. The poll should be opened by January 6th with a week of voting allowed. The final decision on the name will be made by January 31st. Here is a starting list, suggested by some eclipse community members: * Kepler * Koala * Kirk * Kuiper * Krakatoa * Kosmos * Kelvin * Kinetic * Krypton * Knuth * Kapteyn * Kahn * Kyzczsina
(In reply to comment #0) > * Kepler Don't use Kepler. http://www.eclipse.org/proposals/kepler/
Kappa came up. http://www.naic.edu/~gibson/starnames/starnames.lst
+1 for Kuiper or Kirkwood, from Daniel Kirkwood (1814-1895), discovered the ``Kirkwood gaps'' in the orbits of the asteroids between Mars and Jupiter; explained the gaps in Saturn's rings.
Kaaaaaaaaaaahn!
Eclipse Kim. Three letters. Everyone can spell and pronounce it. Well known name in many cultures. Although, I must admit that Eclipse Khan is very appealing as well.
Sorry Kim, I vote for: Krispy Kreme :-)
I propose Kessel, after the shipping route made famous by Han Solo.
+1 To take that a step further, perhaps Krispy Kreme would be interested a corporate sponsorship of the release. "Eclipse Krispy Kreme: A doughnut on every desktop" Pro: More money for eclipse infrastructure etc. Free doughnuts. Con: Committers with high cholesterol
+1 for Khan
Kitsune Kafka Kessler Kirch Kyi Karman (winner of this year's Nobel peace prize) Kratos
(In reply to comment #10) > Kratos +1 to Kratos the god of war and here is the splash screen we should use http://images.wikia.com/godofwar/images/1/19/Kratos_rendering_concept.jpg
(In reply to comment #5) > Eclipse Kim. FWIW, this seems entirely reasonable to me.
I propose: -- Kale, also known as Jupiter XXXVII moon, it was named in August 2003 after one of the Graces, daughters of Zeus (the Greek equivalent of the Roman god Jupiter). Kale is the spouse of Hephaestus. Kale was discovered 9 December 2001 by Scott S. Sheppard, David C. Jewitt and Jan T. Kleyna at the Mauna Kea Observatory in Hawaii, the same year that Eclipse was released as a Open Source project, ten years ago. Kale is a member of the Carme group, a family of Jovian satellites which have similar orbits and appearance and are therefore thought to have a common origin. Kale means "beautiful". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kale_%28moon%29
Kronos, one of the titans
Kale is also a very healthy and delicious food. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kale +1 for either Krypton or Khan.

Krishna - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krishna "Krishna is a central figure of Hinduism and is traditionally attributed the authorship of the Bhagavad Gita. The stories of Krishna appear across a broad spectrum of Hindu philosophical and theological traditions. They portray him in various perspectives: a god-child, a prankster, a model lover, a divine hero and the Supreme Being."
+1 for Kahn In our will to rule - I mean dominate - no damit I mean enlighten the world by doing our work with Eclipse, this name is the most fitting one ;-)

K-PAX http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-PAX
+1 for "Kronos" or "Koronis"
+1 for Kelvin As UOMo lead that sounds like a very appropriate name. Maybe considering, they're nearly seen as semi-gods in Europe and Germany (despite a tiny thing like a kidney stone struck one of them and prevented his fight ;-) the large German fraction of Eclipse Foundation would also consider Klitschko

(In reply to comment #10) > Kitsune > Kafka > Kessler > Kirch > Kyi > Karman (winner of this year's Nobel peace prize) > Kratos Karmann isn't bad either, and considering how long it takes to get many project through IP-lawyer these days, I'd fancy Kafka, too ;-)
For the record, the correct spelling as per Star Trek is Khan, not Kahn. Secondly, I vote that it should be "Khaaaaaaan!!" with a minimum of six A's and a minimum of one exclamation point. For sake of completeness, I suppose we should also allow Kirk as an option.
I thought about Krang, the evil caracter in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, but that's a bad idea to communicate good things about Eclipse ;) So -1 for Krang.
Also, Kodos and Kang would be amusing additions.
What about "KUDOS"?
I suggest to stick to the "moon" rule unless we're out of good moon names. Otherwise we will end up with tons of suggestions.
Kallichore ...which is another moon of Jupiter http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kallichore_(moon) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kallichore_(mythology)
(In reply to comment #29) > I suggest to stick to the "moon" rule unless we're out of good moon names. > Otherwise we will end up with tons of suggestions. Along these lines "Kale" appears as the most "beautiful" name, just: how do we teach the community to properly pronounce this? Otherwise one of the Charites can easily turn into cabbage. From that I'd like to refine the proposal to: Καλή (using bugzilla as an acid test for dealing with non-ascii characters).

About your proposal, I think it's greek, that would lead from Greek Orthodox to Roman Catholic suggestions like: Karol The birth name of John Paul II.
(In reply to comment #31) > Along these lines "Kale" appears as the most "beautiful" name, > just: how do we teach the community to properly pronounce this? It's easy and beautiful to pronounce it! Just check out at: http://www.pronouncenames.com/pronounce/kale I verified that the search for "Eclipse Kale" (with quotes) on Google returns only 93 results. Very good!
+ 1 for Kale Sounds pretty swag.
Some more info about "Kale". It's also the word for "fortress" in the Turkish language. Used also in some countries on the Balkan Peninsula. In Bulgarian it's also a slang word for drug :)

Just check out at: > > http://www.pronouncenames.com/pronounce/kale Yea, that's the version that makes it ambiguous with the cabbage :) What I learned at school for Καλή is closer to the French "Calais". (see the accent on the eta? :) ) I guess that's the price we pay for using English: much of the differentiation gets washed away (and we had similar difficulties with the proposed http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Io before, sigh).
(In reply to comment #0) What about: Kallista / Kallisti From "http://www.thinkbabynames.com/meaning/0/Kallista": Kallista \k(a)-llis-ta, kall(i)-sta\ as a girl's name is pronounced kah-LISS-tah. It is of Greek origin, and the meaning of Kallista is "most beautiful". Also means "give a hug" in Estonian. From "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discordianism#Sacred_Chao": Having been snubbed, Eris creates a golden apple with the word kallisti (Ancient Greek: καλλίστῃ, to the prettiest one) inscribed in it.[12] This, the Apple of Discord, is a notable symbol in Discordianism for its inclusion in the Holy Chao.

(In reply to comment #16) > Kleopatra > > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/216_Kleopatra Btw, she's only spelled like that in German. Both English and the Latin original used other characters, usually "C".
These sound cool: * Kosmos * Kelvin
Kriggs! (Mouse over my name to see why.) (Because it would be awesome to have a release named after me. :) I'll be happy to give away my twitter, @eclipsekriggs, for the release. :)
I like : * Kheops (pharaoe) and * Kali (indian divinity)
(In reply to comment #44) > I like : > > * Kheops (pharaoe) > > and > > * Kali (indian divinity) Yep, Kali would certainly improve following in India further. And also match the many "arms" Eclipse now got with various areas and project umbrellas. Kali being a goddess of war is probably not so positive. Just look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kali Maybe "Kalinka" instead?;-)
+1 Kale +1 Kuiper
Created attachment 208115 [details] Khaaaaaan! Khan +1
+1 for a new series of names based on science fiction. Already bored of real-science names such as actual planets; all well-known stuff is used up and starting to use obscure (for most people) names like Kuiper will not be cool. Khan is great! But I suggest to keep the tradition of planets names... but now, famous SF planet names. Arrakis, Tatooine, etc. ... Only potential problem: as soon as there's an Eclipse Trantor, this Asimov fan here I will NEVER want to upgrade to the next one. :)

I disagree that Kuiper is obscure. There was an entire class dedicated to the Kuiper belt when I took Introduction to Astronomy at University. I would expect that the Kuiper belt has more name recognition than most moons within our solar system. Just my 2 cents.
+1 for Kronos.

With all respect for its regocnition, the name still seems a bit of a tongue-breaker. I have no problem pronouncing it, but that's from somebody who's last name (also with "K" btw;-) most English speaking people pronounce like "Kiel" instead of "Kyle" (that's the right way as with the first name) I wouldn't suggest that, unless we go from Sci-Fi to Cartoons, in which case "Kyle" would also be a possible name. Only the German version of Wikipedia has this Kuiper, not related to the Dutch-US astronomer from all I know: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernhard_Kuiper An architect who built e.g. Sachsenhausen concentration camp.
Ketu - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketu_(mythology) "(Sanskrit: केतु, Kannada: ಕೇತು, IAST: ketú) () is the descending lunar node. 'Ketu' is said to be the body of Rahu, after the head of the asura was cut off by God Vishnu. In Hindu mythology, Ketu is generally referred to as a "shadow" planet. It is believed to have a tremendous impact on human lives and also the whole creation. In some special circumstances it helps someone achieve the zenith of fame. Ketu is often depicted with a gem or star on his head signifying a mystery light."

Well, for most people who have never taken Astronomy classes, hearing the name "Kuiper" will bring... "that's the actor who plays Jack Bauer, right?" ;-)) But granted, the audience is not the general public, but geeks - so it makes sense to expect higher-than-average knowledge and interest for topics like science and science fiction (if we apply the stereotypes about ourselves...)
After we had Callisto, we can have Klio
(In reply to comment #54) > After we had Callisto, we can have Klio I had never read the muse name spelled like that, I am not english, but I believe the english name is, as in french, spelled Clio. Much like Cleopatra, Cassandra, Clotho ... I've seen a number here :p. I find these "k" spellings a little disturbing, though I might be the only one?
(In reply to comment #45) > Yep, Kali would certainly improve following in India further. If you're looking to increase following in India, Kali may not help as much as "Katrina". ;) Though that may have negative connotations with the hurricane.
I'll vote for "Kim"
Kraken (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kraken)
I suggest "Kopernikus".
Katakis Koronis Rift Killerwatt Kenny Dalglish Knight Orc Krakout Kwik Snax Krusader _Klipse
I would suggest Khepri. "Khepri was a god of creation, the movement of the sun, and rebirth." Creation is a major point when you think about Eclipse. Kind regards
(In reply to comment #62) > I would suggest Khepri. > > "Khepri was a god of creation, the movement of the sun, and rebirth." > > Creation is a major point when you think about Eclipse. > > Kind regards Additionally "Kratos" could be a good name. In Greek mythology, Kratos was the son of Pallas and Styx, and the personification of strength and power. Sounds good for Eclipse. :-)
+1 for Kelvin. Surely there is a good joke about absolute zero. I just can't think of it. I like the Scientists. If you think Kale is easily pronounceable and recognizable, you haven't been in the US Southeast very much. Here it's two syllables. Or maybe three.
Kassiopeia, a constellation and mythology
(In reply to comment #65) > Kassiopeia, a constellation and mythology Korona Both word with beginning K in German. The same for "Kosmos". Maybe a redefinition/adaption for other-language speaker
The new Name should be Kassiopeia. First it is named as a symbol out of 4 stars including the polarstar. Second a in greek mythologie Kassiopeia is mentioned. Third my favourite fary tail "Momo" as a tortoise named Kassiopeia ;) So please take: Kassiopeia
I would suggest Kant, in regard to Imanuel Kant the philosopher. Who to part in the foundation of reason.

I know, which Katriny you refer to. This article on all 3 mentions 'K' Words: http://www.crystalinks.com/kali905.html Based on that I also propose: Karma

(In reply to comment #66) > Both word with beginning K in German. The same for "Kosmos". Maybe a > redefinition/adaption for other-language speaker If German would be OK then how about "Käse"? It's the German word for cheese, the stuff the moon is made of.
My proposal is "Kalyke". It a moon of Jupiter and the name comes from greek mythology. @see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalyke_(moon)

Actually I would favour Kuiper. Or following names (all Jupiter moons): Kallichore Kalyke Kore Saturn moon "Kari": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kari_(moon) or go with Uranus moon "Juliet". Okay, it's still "J" but, may be. But still, my favourite is still Kuiper. Regards!

Unfortunately on Windows Eclipse still defaults to Cp1252, while most other OS use UTF-8 by now. Having an Umlaut in the release name could therefore create a big mess, but as German Language Champion of the Babel project I could live with that name;-)
+1 for Kale
Komet (or Kometa) I think that one of these words would fit nicely. They are used for comet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet) in many languages. Regards, Anguel Stankov ALPHALAS GmbH

The first that I thought for K, was Kira, so Eclipse Kira sounds good. Based on Light Yagami from Death Note many times called Kira. OR But +1 for Kuiper because Eclipse is now outside of the solar system and expanding.
+2 Kronos (a good, strong sounding name) +1 Kira (not bad, either) -1 Kale (kale is first and formost a (yummy) leafy green)

For fans of the classic Doctor Who... how about Kamelion? According to http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Kamelion -- he was a shape-changing android. This seems quite appropriate with the looming advent of e4 and the ability for users to skin the IDE.
+1 to Kepler
Can someone explain why "Kronos" was not part of the choices for the vote ? It got a few +1 here and it should at least deserve a spot in the final vote.

Perhaps nobody on the PC saw my comment 1? We discussed this on the Planning Council call yesterday. We believe that the prior existence of the project does not exclude this name from consideration. AFAICT, the Kepler project never gained significant momentum, so community confusion should not be an issue. On the plus side, the name has already been trademark cleared which will save on legal fees!

The name was previously vetted by the Eclipse legal team too. Since the project never released anything and was archived, we decided to go with the name as an option. If the project released something, it would have been a different story.
Kosmos and Kuiper sound good
It looks like Kepler was chosen, see http://wiki.eclipse.org/Category:Kepler [Reproduced from the talk section for that page] Umm, there is are at least two other projects named Kepler that are listed in Wikipedia: Kepler scientific workflow system http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kepler_scientific_workflow_system Kepler (software) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kepler_(software) There is also the Kepler spacecraft which is getting quite a bit of press. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kepler_(spacecraft) Perhaps a different name should be used here? I more obscure name would give Eclipse better recognition.
