Gorgonzola stable release planning thread
Fufluns is released, lets plan the next stable release!
How about a 12 week release goal?
That would mean trying to release on the weekend of April 3/4 2020
What do we want to call the next release?
I say TMC and I will pick what we agree we like best, but we are open to any suggestions.
Codename must:
* Start with the letter "g"
* Be relatively obscure
* Not collide too much with the naming of anything software or gaming related
* Be liked by myself and TMC
EDIT: and we have a winner, "gorgonzola"
As for things I hope to get accomplished in the next release, I will keep my own ambitions modest. I am mostly concerned with keeping our build system reasonably stable, and doing what I can to support TMC's goals for the release

Ah, the naming ritual returns.
Here are some fun ideas (most of these are mashups or puns, probably nothing you'll find in a dictionary):
gooseberry (real word)
glowbunny
glitterbug
genesizzle
gratuity (real word)
I don't want to go through this whole list, but here's a good resource for real G words that are obscure for anyone who wants to hunt for a good one.

Although I haven't started my official tease for it yet, the next (and likely final) Heart of the OHR will begin in May, in case you wanted to tie-in the G release with the window somehow, or at least stick to a specific series of release goals so that it can come out before the window closes.Fufluns is released, lets plan the next stable release!

grafology - divination by studying writing
The sound of the word isn't superb, but the meaning adds a lot of fun to it.
EDIT:
Holy Slime. Or this.
graptomancy - divination by studying handwriting

Gede-olgudach - Pictish king
gorgoneion - Representation of a gorgon head
Also, last time someone suggested Frogmagog, which was based on Gogmagog, so that one's definitely worth a look. Since it was so good they couldn't even wait for the proper letter.

Oh wow, we're already looking forward to the G release? I didn't realize we'd gotten Fufluns as a stable release until just now... I've really been out of the loop with OHR stuff the past few months to a year, I guess.
Anyway... I see nobody has suggested Gorgonzola, Medusa's favorite cheese, for the name possibilities yet.
Some other possibilities that come to mind:

Some other possibilities that come to mind:
- Guadalajara (city in Mexico, I just happen to like how the name sounds)
Gobsmacked
Gundark (I vaguely recall this being the name of some sort of six-armed monkey aliens in Star Wars at some point?)
Gobernated (weird... typo-ish?... thing I saw somebody make once on an old forum)
