Этот робот с рекламного сайта Windows 2008 теперь является талисманом (”mascot”) PowerShell’а :) ...

Hugo Peeters — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 10:36:22 GMT

I'd keep the name in the PowerShell commandlet format. I was thinking something like Ted-PowerShell.

Geoff Taylor — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 10:42:13 GMT

Why not call him 'PoSH'? 'PoSH the Robot' has a nice ring to it.

re: Mascot Naming Contest

Stuart P. Bentley — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 11:35:17 GMT

It's pretty obvious that he's already been labeled "IT 24-7" (Schproder to his friends).

re: Mascot Naming Contest

Dr Herbie — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 12:36:53 GMT

How about calling it 'Shelley'.

re: Mascot Naming Contest

Fred Morrison — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 13:36:10 GMT

Excuse me? It's just a friggin' robot. Let's not slobber all over our blogs about a product that nobody is going to use in real production until Service Pack 1 arrives, probably early 2009. Study it. Sure. Understand it. Sure. But keep your panties dry for cryin' out loud. :-)

Excuse me. I have some SharePoint workflow code to write now.

How about:

Automator

Oh wait . . .

re: Mascot Naming Contest

David — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 15:33:34 GMT

Probably not very creative, by I like PowerBot.

re: Mascot Naming Contest

Jens — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 15:53:15 GMT

How about PoSH Spice.

Ähmm, maybe that's already in use so not a good idea.

No, it's a PoSH-Bot.

a roPoSH?

;-)

re: Mascot Naming Contest

Daniel — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 16:44:26 GMT

Maybe, Robbie ?

Or something link get-name?

re: Mascot Naming Contest

Geo — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 16:57:30 GMT

Ok, "The Scripting Guy" team has Dr. Scripto

This could be something like "AShellErator"

re: Mascot Naming Contest

David — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 17:32:04 GMT

Being this a Microsoft world, I would also suggest something like:

Microsoft Interactive Humanoid 2008 Ultimate Edition

re: Mascot Naming Contest

Chris Sergent — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 17:49:19 GMT

Server Unleashed; sounds like the force; good at dealing with challenges directly or dealing with them using the force(wireless would be the closest thing for computers); My recommendation is:

Silvertooth

re: Mascot Naming Contest

Chris S. — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 20:20:11 GMT

Silvertooth's father was a server, and Silvertooth wanted to become a server like his father, with more power than you can possibly imagine.

This is his domain.

Giving a little history to the name; hope nobody has a bad feeling about this.

re: Mascot Naming Contest

Fred — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 20:30:54 GMT

Anything will do except the stupid "Android" :)

Andy Puchrik — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 22:22:11 GMT

Marvin, from the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

anthonw — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 23:02:12 GMT

How do you know it's a he? What about Shelley...

re: Mascot Naming Contest

TWNZ — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 23:49:55 GMT

Since you were obviously not amused by my first ... How about " Itisnoveryet " ...

Another one: rbtlet (read robotlet or botlet)

re: Mascot Naming Contest

Kirk Freiheit — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 00:59:15 GMT

"Manage Max", or just Max for short. As in Maximum.

A trilogy of suggested movie titles:

1. Manage Max

2. The Shell Warrior

3. Manage Max: Beyond GUIdome

......

Another idea -- direct from the 1979 movie "The Black Hole": Maximilian Shell

re: Mascot Naming Contest

Oisin Grehan — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 02:53:17 GMT

Being Irish, I thought:

Tom O'Tonne.

"Tonne" being a play on a metric tonne, him being a giant bulky robot of death etc, and of course when you say it out loud...

;-)

- Oisin

re: Mascot Naming Contest

stryqx — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 03:21:32 GMT

It's already got a name - IT 24-7.

I've got "Shell Host - IT Hang On Tight!", but the acronym might upset some people! :-)

re: Mascot Naming Contest

Chris Sergent — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 03:43:00 GMT

After watching the preview, another name:

Shellfire

Silvertooth: "You don't know the power of the Server. Join me and we will link the world together."

re: Mascot Naming Contest

Ok, I still like Zen, but I just watched some more of the videos and came up with another name that might be more appropriate: Dexter.

Meet Dexter. IT zen.

re: Mascot Naming Contest

Johan von Boisman — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 21:24:05 GMT

I think these comments illustrate why mascots are best left to products marketed to children.

re: Mascot Naming Contest

Dany — Sat, 08 Mar 2008 23:19:32 GMT

Powie is nice! But is it true, that there is a way of installation of the server without gui AND without powershell? Why is that?

re: Mascot Naming Contest

Jean G. — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 02:59:25 GMT

Maybe Tera Mips... or HiTee... or Darth Server... ;-)

Kirk Freiheit; you think way too much like me. Scary good.

How about;

Ace - (Automate Create Evolve)

BOOSM - (Best Object Oriented Scripting Mechanism)

re: Mascot Naming Contest

Jonathan Walz — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 14:48:29 GMT

I think we should name him "Pipeline"

re: Mascot Naming Contest

Shala Mullis — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 00:27:46 GMT

What about "Archie" or "ArchiPower" or "ArchiePower". After all, he was invented by Archi(e)tects.
