• Devuan @weekly [news] (d@w, d@wn)
• Devuan @weekly crontab (dwc)
• Devuan Crontab (dc, dvc)
• Devuan Weekly Dispatch (dwd)
• Devuan Chronicles (dc, dvc, dch)

How 'bout Devuan Weekly Highlights = DWH? Or Devuan Weekly Report = DWR?

• Devuan Radio Free Init
• Devuan World Service
• Devuan News Daemon
• Devuan Message Of The Week

So far, I buy these from yours:

• Devuan Weekly Dispatch (dwd)
• Devuan Chronicles (dc, dvc, dch)
• Devuan Weekly Highlights = DWH
• Devuan Weekly Report = DWR

Maybe Devuan Weekly Digest (DWD)?

MOTWcould be the name of the editorial :)

Dee Double-You * is kind of difficult to pronounce. Dee Wee *? For WWW I say: Wah wah wah. DWD -> Dude? DWH -> Dooh? I have no preference for Digest, Dispatch, Highlights, or Report.

Devuan Chronicles is snappy is the acronym can be Dee Vee See, or Dev-See. May be good for a collection of all periodic publications? (/dev/cron:)

how about: dnw Devuan news weekly The Devuan Weekly tdw Galactic Funk? The Devuan Galaxy Weekly News DGWN

Devuan Galaxy Weekly News DGWN

Devuan Linux Weekly News DLWN

Devuan Linux Weekly DLW

Devuan Galactic Digest DGD

The Devuan Galactic Report TDGR

Devuan Galactic Report DGR

Ok, from the Editorial on Issue XIX, all names with Weekly or similar fall from the list.

So, to resume, I think we have these:

Devuan News

Devuan Chronicles

Devuan Radio Free Init

Devuan World Service

Devuan News Daemon

Devuan Highlights

Devuan Galaxy News

Devuan Galactic Digest

The Devuan Galactic Report

Devuan Galactic Report

From these I vote for

Devuan News Daemon

Devuan Highlights

@Envite . . . Since the release names will be taken from the list of minor planets in our solar system, perhaps all the galaxy/galactic suggestions should also be discarded? That would shorten the list some more:

Devuan News

Devuan Chronicles

Devuan Radio Free Init

Devuan World Service

Devuan News Daemon

Devuan Highlights

And just to confuse things, here are a few more:

Devuan Beacon

Devuan Grapevine

Devuan Currents

Devuan Tidbits

That's probably enough. I kind of like the Devuan Beacon as this project is the light leading to the future of Linux. After all it's going where no toy has gone before! Of course, feel free to discard any or all.

The Devuan home page holds the solution. It says "the almost weekly Devuan community news". Shuffling words we get: Devuan Almost Weekly News (DAWN).

(I have no sympathy for "radio free *"--we're not a radio, and not a propaganda outlet for imperialists either)

P.S.: DAWN is the NASA mission to Ceres .

Newspapers called "The Herald" aren't literally shouty blokes on horseback either, and yet their readers seldom complain. Let's discuss magic power of "the symbol".

As for "imperialism", can we let the 1960s have their epithets back? I wasn't being political and it seems a bit unecessary. Around here every building with an ugly pointy bit on top is called "Radio Free [whatever]" without the cold war being directly invoked.

I like DAWN, but still think it's like a promise, and we are to be more on the "when it is ready" way.

Anyway, I'm calling a cast for votes, from now until Tuesday 21 00:00 UTC.

Options are:

1 Accept "Devuan Almost Weekly News - DAWN" as new name for DWN

2 Reject "Devuan Almost Weekly News - DAWN" as new name for DWN

3 The dreadful "Further Discussion" option

...just be fair, do not create pet accounts for voting.

Currently we are not an almost weekly news. We are not even an almost monthly news. What happened to the Beacon idea?

DAWN sounds fine to me. Its meaning could temporarily change to "Devuan As/When News" if there are time pressures... ;-)

I Reject Devuan Almost Weekly News (DAWN). I agree with golinux in that we are not an almost weekly news or monthly. I also disagree with this "when it is ready" way. That is a concept for releasing software not news. If you are going to do the news, it needs to be done in a timely fashion. Not reporting causes a void and the chatter starts up on the mailing list. This would also help in answering the same questions that keep coming up like has Devuan been released yet. My vote is for Devuan News (DN or DVN).

going with Devuan news (DN) for now.
