Galactic Gopher
or maybe
Galloping Green

How about Gorgeous Geochelone?

Golden Greek, anyone?

How about Garlic?
I recommend to look at the modular structure of garlic and how it can be related to ROS :slight_smile:

In order of preference:

  • GIGANTIC – in line with @ThiloZimmermann suggestion
  • Galactic – but in as homage to the band Galactic. I think if we play our cards right we can have them play ROSCon New Orleans.
  • Glabrous – (i.e. smooth)


I think we should break with cannon and use a tortoise. I am a big fan of Gopherus agassizii. These little critters could really use more visibility as their populations have declined more than 90% since 1980.

No preference about the turtle type, but I would love to see the t-shirt for a “grumpy” release. Using’s Katherine’s suggestion, Grumpy Gopherus is really fun to say out loud.

“As the film series progressed, Gamera took on a more benevolent role, becoming a protecter of humanity, and especially of human children, from extraterrestrial races and other giant monsters.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamera

I endorse this, mostly for including a screenshot from MST3K.

Ok here is my number 1:

  • Galactic Geochelone

Geochelone genus contains the “star tortoise”?

Clearly it is one of the following with Galactic!:

  • Galactic Geochelone
  • Galactic Glyptemys
  • Galactic Graptemys
  • Galactic Gopherus
  • Galactic Gamera
  • Galactic Geometricus

Lonesome George was the last known individual of the Pinta Island Tortoises. It appeared in the Guinness world record book as the most endangered animal and the most rare reptile.

Guinness George or Gigantic George

:sweat_smile: as @gbiggs mentioned, the logo possibilities for galactic are endless. Also, ros-galactic sounds super cool :grin:

Just a reminder, anything that is encumbered IP is probably not going to pass as the distro name. That includes Gamera, unfortunately.
