Ubuntu 11.10 named Oneiric Ocelot

I'm not a fan of the names most times I don't know what I am using, even now I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 whatever animal it is.<p>It's much easier to remember 10.10 (released 2010 October) than whatever year Monkey, Bat, Cow or Hedgehog came out.

It strikes me as distinctly odd for a flagship open source distro to <i>have</i> a "skunk works," never mind what they produce.

Well, at least they didn't name it Django.

o·nei·ric/ōˈnīrik/ Adjective: Of or relating to dreams or dreaming.<p>OK, this should be a fairly easy term to google.

&#62; The objective is to capture the essence of our next six months work in a simple name.<p>Nailed it.

Hopefully, they can work a Liquid Ocelot reference into it.

Reminds me of Otto's Mops: <a href="http://audiopoetry.wordpress.com/2007/04/05/ottos-mops/" rel="nofollow">http://audiopoetry.wordpress.com/2007/04/05/ottos-mops/</a>
