Poll: Name for new firmware project
 
I'm planning on opening up the code (GPL) for building new 5D firmwares sometime soon and am seeking a good name for the project. It is similar to chdk, but does not use their code and has different goals: the focus is on just the 5D Mark 2 and specifically cinema-related enhancements.

Some thoughts on the theme:

* Film (or Cinematography) Hacker Dev Kit (FHDK)
* 5D Dev Kit
* 5D Film
* 5D Mark Free
* Film Liberty
* Magic lantern (an early type of film projection)
* Cinematographe Lumiere (inventors of the modern perf film)
* Zoetrope (an early "motion picture" format)

If there are trademark issues with the 5D, perhaps we can substitute 5Z, where Z is for Zoetrope.

What other ideas do you all have?

5 de facto

5 decoded

5 deserved

5 desired

In general I like the Zoetrope naming (although it's already taken by Coppola), but the one I think fit the best for this project is 5D Mark Free (since it suggests that it's a new version, Mark III, but it's also free).

Perfect. Unbeatable. Just go with that.

5D Unleashed!

Another vote for 5D Mark Free.

"Mark Free" is the most clever (so far), but depending on the (supposed) firmware update, I'm rooting for "Unleashed." FREEEEEDOOOMMMMMM

I personally like "Magic Lantern" because it has somewhat of a double meaning. It would be our guiding light through the darkness of the crippled Canon firmware. My second choice though would definitely be "Mark Free".

I prefer 5D Mark Free. And thanks for your efforts.

Jim Froom May 19th, 2009 04:38 AM

I like the 5D Mark Free, except I'd change it to Free 5D-2

Cuong Dinh May 19th, 2009 07:54 AM

One more for 5D Mark Free.
