Please vote for the name of the "G" release

The public polls to determine the name of the OpenStack "G" release (due
in Spring 2013) are now open. All members of the "openstack" group in
Launchpad can vote, and membership to that group is open[1]. The polls
will close Tuesday, July 10, 21:45 UTC.

Due to the Bear Flag Revolt, there are actually two polls you need to
participate in:

First, you need to decide whether we should amend our naming rules and
just call it "Grizzly", or keep our rules and go with the result of the
second poll. You can do that here:
https://launchpad.net/~openstack/+poll/g-stands-for-grizzly

Then you can select the name the "G" release should have in case we
choose to keep our current rules:
https://launchpad.net/~openstack/+poll/g-release-naming

Happy voting!

Results are in, and the G release will be named "Grizzly" !

The regular poll selected "Gazelle" (35 votes), with "Gilroy" (27 votes)
being a close second. But the Grizzly revolt poll showed overwhelming
support for the "Grizzly" name (88 votes) rather than going with the
results of the regular poll (46 votes).

So G will be called Grizzly, and the Waldon exception (accepting
elements of the state/country flag in addition to city/county names)
will be added to our naming rules for future naming contests :)

Cheers,

I the future, I'd like to suggest Condorcet voting for future polls.
It's a more comprehensive voting mechanism than the polling done on
Launchpad. It's also easy to use (both in creating polls and in voting
on favorites).

Here's an example set of results (favorite programming language poll):

Here's the poll, if you'd like to vote :-)

It's also extremely easy to game if you don't provide a set of voters
email addresses.

We want all the community involved in picking the name (so all the
~openstack group in Launchpad) but we don't have all email addresses,
and we don't want some group to stuff the ballot and let "Greenville"
win. The only way to game the Launchpad poll system is to create a
thousand Launchpad IDs : it sounds like a high-enough barrier of entry
to fraud. CIVS poll stuffing is just a click away.

Basically Launchpad polls are in the sweet spot between convenience,
accuracy and fraud-resistance.

You just don't know what the Bear Revolt crew was ready to do to let
Grizzly win :)
