Project naming conventions
Wednesday, June 24th, 2009We’ve got a new project at work.
It’s really cool and we want it to have a secret project name that sounds awesome and makes us feel important by talking about something no-one else knows about.
But what do you do when you haven’t got any kind of naming convention of projects? Get one quick because revision 641 of the development branch sounds pretty naff whilst Project Apocalypse sounds awesome!
In the past Microsoft have had some great names for projects – “Sparta” for Windows for Workgroups and “Wolfpack” for Microsoft Cluster Server are a couple of the best whilst Apple have free roam over the big cats. I’ve had all sorts for my computers in the past - planets, constellations (good job I only had 2 computers as I don’t know many constellations), beer, ancient forgotten cities, the list goes on..
