They have this tradition of omitting every other OS version (E,G), so you better look out for names with J.

Has anyone told the mayor of Fremantle? Its the town's biggest international fame since the Americas Cup boat race in 1987.

I have a suggestion for the K name. "Kaze" from the Japanese word for Wind.
I know that's jumping the shark

I think Fremantle is a more appropriate place for the 2009 Summit than Amsterdam... Well, except for the fact that the air fare would be atrocious for most of the attendees.

Kami = god/divine
Kaze = wind
So yeah, it could be used. But thanks to the Japanese suicide pilots of WW2, it's gained a bad reputation in much the same was the Nazi's forever polluted the reputation of the swastika. (pre-ww2, the swastika was actually a world recognized symbol of peace) So while Kaze would be accepted by a lot of people, I think you'd see a rather unfortunate kickback for using "kamikaze" for the name. There's also a bit of a "self destructive" imagery that goes with that name. If someone called their project Kamikaze, a lot of people would avoid it like the plague.
