[Qgis-user] Call for release name suggestions 2015

[Mats Elfström]

Once, Qgis versions were named after planetary moons. We probably ran
out of those, at least those known to the public. However, they had
the advantage of being unbiased, in terms of earth nations, language
or ethnicity. Place names can be biased, like: now it's time for a
latin american name and so on.
May I suggest the periodic table of elements as base for the naming
instead. By cleverly using the groups one could even indicate
major/minor version changes.
