GNOME To Start Using Codenames

Posted by timothy on from the not-very-hush-hush-of-you-to-point-out dept.

prisoninmate writes: A discussion between GNOME developers and users during the annual GUADEC conference lead to potential code names for the desktop environment, starting with the upcoming September release, GNOME 3.18, which might be dubbed Gothenburg. They decided to codename the September releases after the city where the GUADEC conference took place, as explained above, and the March releases after the city where the GNOME.Asia Summit will take place.

    Switching to codenames seems unnecessary. Version 3 was completely unrecognizable as Gnome already.
