FYI, the original suggestion for PLeaSE included the prefix "Mad", which for some reason was truncated along the way.

Loris beat me to this email.

I was thinking we don't have to have the letters "PL" in name. Here are some more suggestions.

- PoPSE: Principles of Programming and Software Engineering -- pronounced popsy

- FoPSE: Future of Programming and Software Engineering

- MadPLSE: pronounced mad pulse

- MadAPPLES: Madison's Applications and Principles of Programming Languages, software Engineering, and Security

- MadPS: MadÂProgramming languages, Software engineering, and Security

- ....

Yesterday we had quite a discussion on what we should name the PL group and some cool names came up.Â

I'll list some here and then people can reply to this email with more suggestions. We'll then make a poll and finally decide what we should call ourselves.

- PLeaSE: prog lang (e and a are supposed to be an exists and a forall symbol) software engineering

- MadPL: madison prog lang

- MaPLE: Madison Programming Language and software Engineering

- MaPLES: Madison Programming Language and software Engineering and Security

- PLuS^2 : Prog lang union software eng and security

Cheers,
