On http://xbmc.org/wiki/?title=9.04_Release_Schedule you can see that the 9.04 release should be called something starting with the letter B.
"Initial Alphas
Estimated release date: Sometime in March
Contents:
1. Codename for the upcoming release set by Team-XBMC, (the codename will be something referencing a movie or TV-show and starts with the letter 'B')."
Is this name decided? If not, can people in the forum have a say in the matter?
I personally vote for Babylon as in Babylon 5 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105946/) or Babylon A.D. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0364970/).

Thats funny coz when I read that months ago my first thought was Babylon. I reckon thats the right way to go.
And as well as TV shows they are both also ancient mythical city's :)

i'm not saying really suggesting anything here, but for some reason the first thing that came to mind was "Boromir." Like, the guy from LOTR.

Boobs! I don't know anyone who doesn't just love boobs.
Babylon was the first thing that I thought of as well. Although boobs is a close second.

Seems as if you revealed the upcoming stable codename :P

My vote would be for Battlestar.

Not really, I know Babylon was a real place in what is now Iraq. The word I should have used is Mystical maybe.
You know what I mean, they stir up the same kinds of images.

B as in Baywatch! Or wait, Bosom Buddies!
Nah, I like Babylon as well.
Thinking ahead, how about C as in Casablanca?

Personally i would go with Boondock as in Boondock Saints....fantastic indie film that is just as cool as XBMC.
Slice
P.S. From the looks of it we have a lot of Babylon fans here...personally i don't care for that genre of sifi but what ever does it for you right? just an observation
I vote for BadMuts :p Would be great to have my personal XBMC release ;)
haha, j/k of course.

From the above list, my suggestion would be BLADE...

I think in BRAVEHEART!!! it's a cool name for a cool release.
The suggestions I like so far: Boondock, Buffy, Battlestar.
Baywatch would be an awesome choice as well, though. :) Babylon is good and all, but it feels... predictable?

I appreciate your support for my suggestion! I was going to go with Buffy the Vampire Slayer s06e07 - Once More With Feeling, but figured the name was a little too long.
I felt pretty good about the humor though.
Buffy, please!
Brazil would be great, too.

Buffy, please!
Best idea ever!

Babylon.
Gotta be Battlestar....
Babylon isn't bad, a close second, but Battlestar is more contemporary... odd as that may sound to those who remember the original.

how about we just compromise. Some sort of combination perhaps...Babylstar the born-again biatch slayer? We can work on the details

XBMC Battlestar... XBMC Buffy... seriously?? Those are ridiculous.
@timdog82001
I'm thinking we could get Fox to spot us a development deal on that one.
lets do lunch

Man, some people just don't go in for comedy.
XBMC Battlestar... XBMC Buffy... seriously?? Those are ridiculous.Hmmm... there are Buffy episodes which truly have nothing ridiculous about them (The Body comes to mind). In any case, I mentioned Brazil as well.
Braindead - would probably look awesome on official media reports !

I just realized, nobody's mentioned Borat. It could be accompanied by a nice little borat-ism as the release slogan haha
XBMC: Borat - Jak sie masz? I like you. I like sex. Is niiice! Would you like to make sexy time?
Ok...maybe not completely relevant
or maybe....The bird? Cause, well, haven't you heard about the bird? Everybody knows that the bird is the word...
Dont panic!
"B" as in "Babel Fish"

B as in Bobafett.
Not that i'm that big of a star wars fan but it sounds really cool.

Bildungsroman. Can anyone name something of greater personal development than XBMC?
Of course, I remain a great proponent of Buffy.

B is for Beer. Mmmm... beer.
Of the somewhat serious suggestions, I too like Babylon.

+1 for Battlestar, plus the last season is about to end pretty soon.
!Boobs! No wait.. Beer! No wait... Buckminsterfullerene! Nah.. .Babylon will work just fine...

B for Battletoads. Heh...I had to. 4chan anyone?
I know - that's a bad first post. In all seriousness, I think Blade Runner would be a suitable name.
Badonkadonk.
The release with more junk in the trunk.

Holy moly, I think we have a winner! Who wants to get started on the publicity banners? Seriously, I love this one lol
EDIT: sadly, a search on imdb for "badonkdonk" yielded no results. Who wants to make a quick short film?
++ For Battlestar!!!
Maybe someone can get Edward James Olmos to record a voiceover.
Then again, might be better to wait for a "G" release. XBMC Galactica sounds cooler.

Couldn't be Battlestar because the next one is going to be "Caprica"... wait and you'll see!!! :laugh:
