[ros-users] ROS K-Turtle Naming Thread

Hey,

I'll be the maintainer (i.e the guy to blame if something goes wrong)
for K-turtle, which among other things, involves helping find a name
for this release of ROS.

So far, the proposals that got the most votes are:

- Kinetic Kame
- Knight Kame
- Kame Hame Turtle
- Kappa
- Kahlua Kame
- Karumbe

my votes go for:

- anything that includes Kappa (because I found this cute drawing [1])
- Kahlua Kame because of how it sounds

I propose Kiwi Kappa and Chelonid Kame, though it doesn't start with
K. I was going to propose Kanye, but look at what happened to the
Coinye project [2]

Thanks.
