Currently brainstorming release names for an application. Theme is mythological creatures. What are some themes/names that you have used or would like to use?
1.0 is Kraken "Release the Kraken!"
Chimera, Centaur, Chpacabra, Wargon, Manbearpig, Minotaur, etc.
Go in alphabetical order. If you really want Kraken first that's fine, but next do an L, then an M, etc.
I worked on a project where new releases followed mountain ranges or peak names per version in alphabetical order. For example: project Alpine was the first release.
I also think it would be neat to follow major project releases in order of the presidents of the United States. Version Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Adams, Jackson, etc.
I've always favored the Norse Cosmology for a good pool of interesting names. There are many Gods, Giants, and Creatures to choose from.

I have recently discovered that a new stable version of StarUML (StarUML 2) has been released after the project being abandoned for a long time.
WhiteStarUML is a fork from the original StarUML project that provides modern continuation of the project using up-to-date development tools and libraries.
What are the pros and cons of both tools?
I've used the both original StarUML(Unfortunately, it was abandoned so long time because it was developed as a commercial program first by a company in South Korea... but the company went bankrupt.) and StarUML2.0 I think WhiteStarUML is not very different from the original one.
StarUML2.0 is much better to see - anyway it is prettier. It's undeniable. :) and UI looks better. - But I felt it is a little bit uncomfortable when I draw some kind of diagrams... for me, especially sequence diagram. I guess it is because I'm familiar with the original StarUML.
What I want to say is, I think StarUML2.0 can be a little bit unfamiliar for users who have been using StarUML1 for long time. But If you want to show your diagram in your presentation, I recommend you to use StarUML2.0.
+) Now staruml 2.0 is charged. Personal license is $70. If you are a student, you need to pay only $49. The original starUML 5.0 is still for free.

Sybase is going to release some new ASE/REP patches SP100 then SP101 instead of ESD#
What will be the differences between ESD# and SP100?
According to SAP/Sybase it's just name change to fall in line with the SAP way of doing things, as they continue to integrate product lines. SP stands for Support Package, where ESD stands for Electronic Software Distribution, but functionally they are both patches to prior software releases.
Some of the expected changes between versions of ASE can be found here:

More about the change in patch naming:

Rob Verschoor, one of the SAP Sybase Engineers just posted a blog about this very topic:

I'm thinking about joining a free software project in order to increase my knowledge of how this kind of projects works, colaborating with people that I dont know (so far), and my C/C++ skills.
I`ve searched on sourceforge and so on, looking for projects that need developers... so my question is: how to join a existing project? (and find one I like)
Pick one you like/are interested in, look over its bug tracker, and contribute patches. As you demonstrate your ability to work along with the developers, you will generally be offered greater involvement (e.g. direct commit access).
#geekosaur has some good points. (+1)
If those don't work, I would consider looking for the lead developer of a project (preferably one with decent activity and leadership) and asking what areas they would like assistance in.
I promise you, almost every open source project manager would absolutely welcome a fresh face to the team!

I'm looking for extremely simple forum software.
Something that simply allows a user to create an account, make a post, and for users to comment on that post.
No HTML, no user profiles, no private message, no bloat. Just software for simple postings. Almost borderline blog software that allows user created accounts.
I've looked at the following software and they have way more features, functionality and bloat than I want:
bbPress (close, but even more simple ... and from the lastest dev post, apparrently bbPress is being dropped for a WordPress plugin)
Vanilla
SMF
PunBB / FluxBB
phpBB
Does anyone know of any good simple forum software?
UPDATE
I just found an example forum that is great in being simple. It's Street Easy's forum. I'd love to know what underlining software they are using. This is nearly exactly what I want. The only thing I'd remove is that it has "Categories/Tags". I don't need that. If the Category/Tag could be removed, functionality - this is exactly what I want.
UPDATE 2
Still no answers :(

How do i come up with a good name for a website or software I am developing. Are there references for naming websites or software?
think of a rude word to use as an acronym, and then fit in the words to make that acronym fit.
SHAFTED was the code name of one internal project I was working on
Shipment
Help
And
Full
Tracking of
Export
Documentation
OTIS was the clean version I used around managers (Order Tracking Information System)
I let my creativity flow and write up 5-10 names.
Then i google them.If one of them is not in use, i take it. :)
I want to be the names unique ;)
Personally? I don't, they're all horrible. But after a couple days of working on the project it's just a group of letters that means "work left to do," regardless of what I called it. :)
Here is an idea from Paul Graham's Why Smart People Have Bad Ideas essay,
[4] I wrote a program to generate all
the combinations of "Web" plus a three
letter word. I learned from this that
most three letter words are bad:
Webpig, Webdog, Webfat, Webzit,
Webfug. But one of them was Webvia; I
swapped them to make Viaweb.
