POApplication version or milestone Naming Schemes

copied!<h2><strong>I'm looking for "schemes" for application version or milestone naming</strong>.</h2> <p>I'd like to find a naming scheme that suits my current project but I think we should gather here the more interesting schemes to share knowledge and ideas on the subject.</p> <p><strong>You also should provide the number of possible name with the proposed scheme or an estimate.</strong></p> <p>For example : </p> <ul> <li><strong><a href="http://www.ogre3d.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">OGRE (Object-Oriented-Graphic-Rendering-Engine)</a></strong> : <a href="http://www.ogre3d.org/wiki/index.php/Roadmap" rel="nofollow noreferrer">each version</a> is named like one of "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Old_One" rel="nofollow noreferrer">The Great Old Ones"</a> from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cthulhu" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Lovecraft's "The Call of Cthulhu" mythos</a> - 67 possible names.</li> <li><strong><a href="http://www.ubuntu.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Ubuntu (Linux based OS)</a></strong> : <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DevelopmentCodeNames" rel="nofollow noreferrer">as explained here</a></li> </ul> <blockquote> <p>The development codename of a release takes the form "Adjective Animal". So for example: Warty Warthog (Ubuntu 4.10), Hoary Hedgehog (Ubuntu 5.04), Breezy Badger (Ubuntu 5.10), are the first three releases of Ubuntu. In general, people refer to the release using the adjective, like "warty" or "breezy".</p> </blockquote> <p>That allow a finite but very big possible name count.</p> <ul> <li>Some hardware and software releases are named like <strong>real world big cities</strong> - hundreds of possible names;</li> <li>Some hardware and software releases are named like <strong>(Greek-Roman-whatever) mythology gods or king/warlord/emperor</strong> - tenths of possible names my mythology;</li> <li>etc.</li> </ul> <p>For my own project I'm thinking about using a naming scheme that would be to name public releases like popular software principles/philosophies/rules/pattern like DRY, KISS, YAGNI, Singleton, Factory, Visitor, etc. But it feel maybe a little too much...computer-geek. :)</p>
