Release Naming Ideas
Insert your ideas on naming conventions for sahana releases.Please keep in mind that this project is used in high-stress situations, so names should be non-offensive across multiple culture-spaces and stress levels.
Since this is a brainstorming area, there are no bad entries, the object is to get ideas down. We'll vote later.
Naming Convention ideas
- Naming after weather risks (not disasters)
- Naming after disaster types
- Naming after influential people (JamesWhitt, NelsonMandela)
- Naming after countries or cities that have lost the most lives due to disasters since Sahana's inception (would require research, however e.g. Samoa, Medan, Aceh)
- Naming after languages that our group speaks
- Naming after disaster (place name, e.g. Bihar release) location where Sahana has been most recently deployed (i.e. latest release = last deployment).
- Named “Sahana” translated in local language where Sahana has been deployed.
- Release 1.0 should be named Sahana, Sri Lanka, Colombo or tsunami… later releases can us new names
