== Rules ==<br />
<br />
This page contains community suggestions for the Fedora 20 release name. All submissions must meet the [[guidelines for release names]].<br />
<br />
Spherical Cow &rarr; Schrödinger's Cat &rarr; ''<new name>''? Schrödinger's Cat is a ''<blank>'', and so is ''<new name>''.<br />
<br />
The link between Spherical Cow and Schrödinger's Cat was "A spherical cow is a theoretical thought experiment, and so is Schrödinger's Cat." The link between Schrödinger's Cat and the new name must be ''different'' than that link, and ''different'' from any other previous link.<br />
<br />
{{admon/note | General links automatically rejected | General links such as "is a word" or "is a location", while technically within the scope of the rules, will most certainly be '''rejected''' by the Fedora Board. Remember, the goal is to come up with a ''creative'' link to Schrödinger's Cat. '''The following links will also likely be rejected:'''<br />
* Names of living people<br />
* Well-known trademarks<br />
'''Please try to find a truly original and obscure link!'''}}<br />
<br />
== Naming Schedule ==<br />
* '''Name collection''': May 15 - May 22<br />
* '''List to Fedora Board for review''': May 22 - May 29<br />
* '''Legal Review of Board approved names''': May 29 - June 05<br />
* '''Community vote on final name''': June 08 - June 15<br />
* '''Name announced''': Before June 22<br />
<br />
== Name Suggestions ==<br />
{{admon/important | Please read carefully. | The instructions below will help prevent some suggestions from being eliminated early.}}<br />
<!-- {{admon/warning | NAME SUGGESTIONS NOT BEGUN. | Please stay tuned for an announcement in Fedora that naming for Fedora 20 has started.}} --><br />
<br />
=== How to use this table ===<br />
<br />
# Come up with a name idea. Put the name in the first column.<br />
# Determine whether it passes the "is-a" test. '''You must be able to truthfully complete the sentence "Schrödinger's Cat is a <...>, and so is ''<YOUR_NAME>''."''' The link to the new name cannot be the same as the link from Spherical Cow to Schrödinger's Cat, [[History_of_Fedora_release_names | nor any other previous link]]. Mark the link in the appropriate column, such as "type of chemical reaction," "deep-sea organism."<br />
#* ''Don't'' choose obvious links, because they usually result in uninteresting names.<br />
#* ''Don't'' choose very general names or unclear links.<br />
#* ''Don't'' choose names of living people, or well-known trademarks.<br />
#* ''Do'' choose obscure links to interesting things, which makes for a better name.<br />
#* ''Do'' avoid ''all'' previous links wherever possible.<br />
#* ''Do'' make sure there are at least a couple of ways to link out of the new name to the next name -- and they must be unique too!<br />
# Use Google to search for possible trademark collisions. First search for the term itself along with "+software", and then broaden your search to include "+computer", "+hardware", "+technology", "+IT", and so on. ''Do not skimp on this step.''<br />
#* If you find a collision, it is best to find another name. Names that cause collisions will be eliminated by Red Hat's Legal department and thus waste their time, which is a valuable commodity for Fedora. Help us maximize their effectiveness by weeding out names that are trademarks of other entities, especially those in the IT industry.<br />
#* If the collision is outside the IT/computing market, you can still submit the name but you should note the collision in the "Tested" column, and include a link to the site where the collision was found.<br />
#* If you find no collisions, make that notation in the "Tested" column.<br />
# Do not mark the themeable column. This is reserved for the Fedora design team, who will be creating the theme.<br />
# Do not mark the approval columns. These are reserved for the approval authorities such as the Board and Red Hat Legal.<br />
