Thought it would be interesting to name the releases of EkaOS after individuals who have contributed to software and adjacent disciplines.

Hard rules:

  • Each release increments the letter. First letter will be 'A'.
  • First or Last name starts with relevant letter for a release
  • Individual should have some marked contribution to software, computer science, or an adjacent discipline (e.g. mathematics, logic, etc).

Some examples:

  • Ada Lovelace
  • George Boole
  • Haskell Curry
  • Eelco Dolstra
  • Edsger W. Dijkstra

I like it. We could additionally try to do this alphabetically starting with A. To keep the search space broad, we could perhaps use first or last name. For example:

  1. Ada
  2. Babbage
  3. Curry
    ...

That is a nice idea, I'm all for it. Wikipedia has a massive list of people here that would get us through the next decade and beyond.
