name proposals

[dbarrosop]

Due to #136 we are going to be renaming brigade to something else. If you have a proposal for an original name let us know by dropping a comment or contacting me privately if you prefer. If you like any of the proposals feel free to indicate so by adding a reaction.

By the way, name doesn't have to be a real word or even in english. Feel free to do something fancy like combining different words, coming up with a new one or even playing with languages other than english.

[ktbyers]

Proposed names from various people (in no particular order):

pybrigade
buckshot
torpedo
confetti
grenade
Battalion

[ubaumann]

Sapper

[dfex]

In keeping with the NAPALM references:

• Sundance
• Crossfire
• Brushfire (multi-threaded/quick)
• Wildfire
• Firestorm
• Spitfire

In keeping with the Python references:

• Hydra - multi-headed python :0
• pyrestorm

NAPLAM + Hydra = Firehydrant

[dfex]

consensus - "A general agreement" - kinda relevant to networking as code

[ktbyers]

phalanx
fire brigade
brandkår (fire brigade in swedish)
bombero (fire brigade in spanish)

[ktbyers]

Fire hydra

[perlchild]

I was going to say firedrill, but there are numerous projects on github with that name. Same with silex.
Pillbox
Firebox
Arsonist

[lykinsbd]

I looked at these for major collisions on Github and in the general technology world, and nothing jumped out at me.

For another variant of Brigade:

• Eskadra: Croatian for Squadron/Bridgade.
• Brigata: Italian for Brigade.

For more general python/automation/framework naming:

• Oprawa: Polish for Frame/Binding.
• Edifice: English, meaning "a building, especially a large, imposing one. Also, a complex system of beliefs."
• Armature: English, meaning "a metal framework on which a sculpture is molded with clay or similar material."
• Fundo/Fundare: Latin for the act of laying the bottom, or laying a foundation.
