[Building Sakai] project/code name for Sakai 3.0

Hi -
a few of us were discussing what a code name for Sakai 3 could be. Dave suggested 'e' because e starts with 2.7 and goes on forever. Then we thought Goya, because (as I was taught in engin school), e is 3 squared divided by 10 plus twice the year Goya dies (2.718281828. Then we googled Goya and found

Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828) was a Spanish painter and printmaker regarded both as the last of the Old Masters and as the first of the moderns. Goya was a court painter to the Spanish Crown and a chronicler of history. The subversive and subjective element in his art, as well as his bold handling of paint, provided a model for the work of later generations of artists, notably Manet and Picasso.[1]

which seemed to fit pretty well. Just a suggestion...

John

And then each of the pre-release versions could be named after a different one of his paintings?
 I like it.

And his most often referenced painting even contains the number 3 in its
title: http://eeweems.com/goya/3rd_of_may.html

(It may be just as well that it wasn't used on the Sakai book cover,
though.)

Best,
Ray

Picking this back up from before the conference I'm going to suggest we name the milestones on the way to Sakai 3 after different painters (rather than Goya paintings). One of those milestones will eventually be 3.0, which one will become clearer as we get further along.  I recommend we have geographic diversity and move in alphabetical order (so we have a hope of remembering the sequence).  I propose the following sequence:

Braque (French)
Diebenkorn (American)
Goya (Spanish)
O'Keefe (American)
Sekoto (South African)
Turner (British)
Vermeer (Dutch)

That should be enough to get us to 3.0. Unused names we can apply to releases after 3.0. Feel free to suggest others if you like, though. I know I've left off Australia and Japan (among other places), mainly from my lack of knowledge of painters from those regions....

This is the kind of thing that can create endless conversations, of course. So please speak up if you have serious objections to the idea of having code-named milestone releases on the way to an official numbered release. Otherwise we'll move forward with (a refinement of) this.

Cheers,

Michael

P.S. There is always a risk with using code names based on people. I fondly recall the Apple v. Carl Sagan dispute:
