Copy of thread summary in the thread.  Sorry for the duplicate.  -- Charles

Micheal stone: no problem
Andres Salomon:  hmm.  Apple Blueberry (named alphabetical)
Gary Martin:  No, official-703..  No to OLPC2 thats hardware
Dennis Gilmore:  OLPC2.  Oh, an the next hardware is XO-2 and should
have same releases.
Simon:  802.month or 802.season to push exact time.  OLPC-2 type
naming for feature based.
Morgan: use internal names without exact ship times in case we missed.
Arron Konstom:  outward consistency counts.  No update-1-703, even if
we did it before
Walter Bender:  Seasons are out.  Feature based naming will slip.
XO-2 is hardware.  OLPC-2, er Sugar-2, is software.
Or, OLPC-Fedora 1, or..er, names are hard.  Well, ship based on time.
Paul Fox:  OLPC doesn't sound like software.  Start with high numbers.
Tomeu Vizoso:  Sugar sounds like software.
Kent Loobey:  Schools really want predictable dates.  Let's use
solstices which aren't.
Polychronis Ypodimatopoulos:  Prefixes shouldn't get tooooo long.
Richard Smith:  How about feature based?  <hardware version>.<major
software>.<minor software>
Mitch Bradley:  What are we releasing?  OLPC <component> <Generation> <Ordinal>
Jim Gettys:  Note that OS protocol changes may or may not change all
Activity binaries.
Martin Langoff:  Feature based,  <major software (API)>.<minor
software (Stability)>.<bugfix> - <country>, with some interaction with
ISO numbers.  Let's start with 0. something since the API isn't
stable.
Mitch Bradley:  Feature based with letters, .10 doesn't work too well.
Morgan Collect:  Right 7.10 is said as "7.1" and 7.04 and "7"
