There's no procedure for choosing Debian codenames - there's nobody to lobby. What essentially happens is that a lot of Debian Developers in certain core teams get drunk at one or other DebConf conferences and pick a name, test the waters with their fellow DD's after the hangover and then announce it on the debian-devel-announce mailing list. The only real rule is that the codename must be a single word, with no hyphens, punctuation or spaces. DebConf 10 is in 15 days, I'll be there but I'll not be making representations on behalf of anyone else. Who knows, this year we could break with tradition and choose a name from some source other than the Toy Story series. There appear to be few candidates in TS3. We'll have to see what the American beer is like and how that affects the decision. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/ http://e-mail.is-not-s.ms/
