[ros-users] ROS J Turtle Naming Brainstorming

[William Woodall]

+0 on Jagged, it seems to imply some negative connotation about quality to
me, like "rough around the edges". Even if it is "rough around the edges"
:p we shouldn't name it as such.

I think Jade Turtle, ROS Jade is nice a nice adjective too.

We want something not too silly, but if we aren't having some fun with it,
what the point? Also Ubuntu seems to do just fine on the business front
with a similar naming pattern.

Obviously we aren't going to pick anything where legal action might be a
concern, which means, as sad as I am to say it, Jedi is pretty much off the
table.

We've done a pretty good job at staying on theme, but sometimes it's hard
when there is only one or two actual turtle related names.

I'd say just as important as being turtle related, if not more important,
is that the code name is short, easy to spell and type, recognizable, and
searchable. That's mostly why we ended up with Indigo in the last go around.
