Naming Convention

Since we are some what experiance in this we don't need to rename the discovery after naming it from ULK0001.

• Since this is our 2nd time let's use ULK1*** as our naming convention. 1st digit represents the campaign. (note - first time we used ULK0***).

• Form second digit lets identify ourselfs,

  #	Member	Convention
  1	Sankha	ULK11**
  2	Sithum	ULK12**
  3	Pulasthi	ULK13**
  4	Amila	ULK14**
  5	Sama	ULK15**

• Remaining two digits should represent the new moving object number let's go from 01 to 99.

• Please keep track of your object count, don't repeat yourself.

• Ex: Amila's 1st discovery in this campain should be named as: ULK1401
  Sithum's 5th discovery in this campain should be named as: ULK1205
