OK the first results are in from the OpenStack community naming process for the R release. The winner at this point is Radium.

OpenStack however has a somewhat unfortunate history of choosing names that for one reason or another, don’t work (legally or otherwise..). It’s a problem that OpenStack has also had with project releases ..remember Quantum? (now Neutron) / RedDwarf (now Trove)
