One of the requirements was: the mascot for the project must be capable of wearing the orange fury coat (and that name should be short and still available across social media etc). The best we came up with was FTF (Faster than Floppy, forget about mascot), and I flew back... when I landed, Michael sent me "he got it" and it was "DataLad" which made total sense if you think about what "git" is ;) Some kick back though we were told about: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lad_culture > I suggest to collect more input/use cases over the weekend and then see > how this goes.
