elementaryOS 0.3 devrait se nommer Isis

Sur la mailing list, Daniel Foré (DanRabbit) a opté pour Isis comme nom de code d'elementaryOS 0.3. Je met 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.

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:

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:

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.

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.
