Re: [Symphonic-developers] JSymphonic: road to version 0.3.0 stable

[Nicolas C. <nic...@us...>]

Hi !

Just to say that some last minutes minor GUI fix have been made. I build a
new version 0.3.0 pre-beta ( build20090523 ). Please, run your test on this
last version only.
Still downloadable here:

>> 2) JSymphonic code name discussions
>> -=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
>> We started a discussion in the developers forum about naming stable
>> version of JSymphonic. Here is the way JSymphonic will be called:
>>   "JSymphonic 0.3.0a" for alpha (unstable) versions
>>   "JSymphonic 0.3.0b" for beta (testing) versions
>>   "JSymphonic 0.3.0 name" for stable version
>> (the second number is for features improvements, the third one for bug
>> fixes)
>>
>> But we need to find names to use to call stable version.
>>
>> The names should respect some rules:
>>  - version name should be a single word
>>  - version name should not contains special characters "é,è,..."
>>  - we are developing a software under GPL, we should not advertise for
>> this or that thing
>>
>> The idea  is to choose a theme, and pick names in accordance.
>>
>> So far, we have proposed the 3 themes (and corresponding names) that you

>>
>>
>> I'm asking to all of you to:
>> - propose other themes and names if you have ideas
>> - vote for the theme you like.
>>
>>
>> Once a theme will be picked, we will vote for the name of version 0.3.0.
>>
>> Thanks for giving your opinion !!

>> Nicolas
>>
>>
>> The themes:
>>
>>
>>
>>      THEME 1)  "Symphony names" since the name of the program is
>> JSymphonic, we can use names from famous symphony. The problem is that
>> symphonies were often named with numbers... However, here are some names of
>> symphony usable:
>>  Brukenthal : Symphony number 21 by Joseph Haydn
>>  Hornsignal : Symphony number 31 by Joseph Haydn
>>  Mercury : Symphony number 43 by Joseph Haydn
>>  Palindrome : Symphony number 47 by Joseph Haydn
>>  Feuer : Symphony number 59 by Joseph Haydn
>>  Roxelane : Symphony number 63 by Joseph Haydn
>>  Loudon : Symphony number 69 by Joseph Haydn
>>  Drum-roll : Symphony number 69 by Joseph Haydn
>>  Haffner : Symphony number 35 by Mozart
>>  Linz : Symphony number 36 by Mozart
>>  Prague : Symphony number 38 by Mozart
>>  Jupiter : Symphony number 41 by Mozart
>>  Eroica : Symphony number 3 by Beethoven
>>  Pastorale : Symphony number 6 by Beethoven
>>  Ode to Joy : Symphony number 9 by Beethoven
>>  Winter Daydreams : Symphony number 1 by Tchaikovski
>>  Little Russian : Symphony number 2 by Tchaikovski
>>  Polish : Symphony number 3 by Tchaikovski
>>  Pathétique : Symphony number 6 by Tchaikovski
>>  Manfred : Symphony without number by Tchaikovski
>>  Titan : Symphony number 1 by Mahler
>>  Resurrection : Symphony number 2 by Mahler
>>  Leningrad : Symphony number 7 by Chostakovitch
>>  Turangalila : Symphony by Messiaen
>>
>>
>>
>>      THEME 2) "Symphony composers " once again, "JSymphonic" makes think
>> about symphony, so after symphony names, here are symphony writers:
>>  (Joseph) Haydn
>>  (Wolfgang Amadeus) Mozart
>>  (Ludwig van) Beethoven
>>  Bruckner
>>  Dvorak
>>  Mahler
>>  Schubert
>>  (Pyotr Ilyich) Tchaikovsky
>>  (Ralph Vaughan) Williams
>>  Chostakovitch
>>  Berlioz
>>  (Olivier) Messiaen
>>  (George Frideric) Handel
>>  (Antonio) Vivaldi
>>  (Richard) Strauss
>>  (Claude) Debussy
>>  (Maurice) Ravel
>>  (Johann Sebastian) Bach
>>  (Johannes) Brahms
>>  (Johann) Pachelbel
>>
>>
>>
>>      THEME 3) "names from music", we can just pick names of Albums or
>> Titles we love. This them is a little bit ambiguous because we have to keep
>> in mind that the code name should be a single word (or a couple...) and we
>> should be careful about the sense it carries... In my opinion, it is not
>> correct to pick the name of the last album of Britney Spears... It's
>> different than talking about symphony composers dead since 200 years...
>> These composers and symphonies belong to general culture and
>> entertainement...
