Sur la mailing list, Daniel Foré (DanRabbit) a opté pour Isis comme nom de code d’elementaryOS 0.3. Je mets cette nouvelle au conditionnel car certains sont pour et d’autres contre. Toutefois, je ne suis pas sûr que DanRabbit reviendra sur cette décision, concentrons-nous sur le développement plutôt comme il le dit ici.
[st_quote author= »Daniel Foré »]I’m leaning strongly towards « Isis » for this one. It’s short (2 syllables), should be generally pretty easy to pronounce, etc. Isis is the egyptian mother god of the throne, « friend of slaves, sinners, artisans, and the downtrodden ». You can read up more about her here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isis[/st_quote]DanRabbit explique d’ailleurs les raisons de son choix, Isis est un mot court, seulement 2 syllabes et facile à prononcer. Cela fait référence à la déesse-mère égyptienne: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isis
Il profite de l’occasion pour donner quelques directives:
[st_quote author= »Daniel Foré »]Also, I think in general most of us think it would be the best idea to release Isis (see, I’m already going with it) as closely as possible to Ubuntu 14.04. We have a lot to prove about our ability to provide updates in a timely manner and we’re getting some negative feedback from developers/nerds about our 12.04 base. So let’s address that and make sure that elementary is the best open platform for both users and developers (and I guess nerds too). Cody is currently working on updating Congrego to spit out some super bleeding edge Saucy-based builds. If any of you are already on Saucy, you know how broken Pantheon currently is. Indicators and Plugs are huge problems that we need to address. We’re considering moving both of these into lib peas plugins for Wingpanel and Switchboard (respectively). Any feedback on that plan is very welcome. In general, the first priority for Isis is going to be updating all of our apps to compile/run with the latest libraries. You should know that Midori with the latest webkitGTK is amazing. I’m working on porting eGtk and it’s going pretty swell. You should also know that all the fancy libaccounts stuff is now available for someone to start playing with so we can get sweet online integration. I believe that Clutter with the touch-related bits is also available so that is also very exciting for those of use that have a multi-touch trackpad available.[/st_quote]Ce que nous pouvons retenir c’est que 0.3 Isis sera proche d’Ubuntu 14.04, que les Indicators et les Plugs devraient utiliser libpeas (peut être que cela aidera à porter Pantheon sur les autres distributions…), et que DanRabbit travaille sur eGTK pour celui soit compatible avec les récentes versions de GTK.
Mise à jour : ce n’est plus d’ISIS qu’il faut parler mais bien de Freya pour la version 0.3
