Re: [LUG] debian code names

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.

So basically lobby every DD who drinks?

Alternatively he could redub a Toy Story DVD so that all the characters have the name he wants, and hope nobody noticed. "Buzz Sutton" and "Sutton the cowboy", Potato Sutton" etc.

Debian Zurg - hmm
