Could you please consider use 5.20 as next version number instead of
6.0? "5.20" is a wordplay number in Chinese, which means "I love you".
Thus "Linux 5.20" can be read as "I love Linux" in Chinese. So I think
it's good thing to release something like "Linux 5.20 I love linux
edition", just like "Linux For Workgroups 3.11" in the past.

I was thinking he should do 5.20, 5.21 and 5.22 before 6.0.
Just to stop anyone thinking it always changed after .19.

Could you please consider name the next Linux release (5.20 or 6.0) "I
love linux" ? The number "5.20" is a wordplay in Chinese, which means "I
love you" [1], thus "Linux 5.20" can be read as "I love Linux" in Chinese.
Even if next kernel version is 6.0, I think it's probably a good idea
for both Chinese-speakers and non-Chinese speakers to express our love
to Linux Kernel.
The name of Linux kernel release has a long history of play-on-words
[2]. For example, 5.15 is named "Trick or Treat" and 5.17 is named
"Superb Owl".

Interesting idea, LOL.
Yes, 520 means 'I love you' in chinese since it has the similar pronunciation
with '我爱你'. I even don't remember since when May 20th becomes another
holiday similar to Valentine's day in China. While I have complicated feeling
about 520. It means on each May 20th, I also need prepare gift for my wife. I
am not a romantic person, preparing gift to lover is always a torture to me.
So almost each May 20th day, Valentine's day, double seventh festival which is
a traditional Valentine's day, I will become nervous, and it ends up
with a satisfactory gift, or a bunch of flower and a digital red envelope with
520￥ and then complainment and blame in next two weeks.
So, for naming next release as '5.20', I will vote for it w/o hesitance. No need
to prepare gift, and can express our love to Linux kernel, it sounds
awesome.
Meanwhile, I would remind people to take it easy. Whether the suggestion
is accepted or not, it doesn't impact the fact that linux may have
become part of our life, not just our work, considering many kernel developers
are workoing form home. But if you have boasted to your girlfriend
or wife, and want to take this as a gift to her, you should try harder to
convince Linus.
Thanks

+1, I'm fine with either approach. If there is a 5.20 version, that is
fine.
The traditional Valentine's day of China is `Qixi Festival` which is the seventh
day of the seventh lunisolar month on the Chinese lunisolar calendar [1].
There are also other somewhat special days in China such as `Programmer day`
(Oct, 24 each year), yet I'm not sure if anyone out of China heard of it.
Personally I think 521 (yi vs ni) sounds more similar to "我爱你" in Mandarin
Chinese and who knows how many special days for couples -- since I'm single. ;)

Yes, I think so. Linus may be too busy to respond, so let's take it easy

Woah. This is some of the larger-scale "cultural export" I've ever seen,
and probably the first time on LKML. I'd remember the few dry laughs
when I tried to explain the "Superb Owl" meme to my teammates,
unfamiliar with (US) English memes in general, so I could even
sympathize with those of you not knowing Chinese Internet memes...
One thing is for sure, if the next Linux version is to be kept 5.20 and
codenamed "Linux I love you" or something like that, it would certainly
make headlines on Chinese tech news sites for a while, more specifically
both after rc1 and the final release; but anyway, as Baoquan already
pointed out, our collective love for Linux and the open-source ideals
behind the whole thing is not going anywhere, no matter what the
Makefile says. (You may find it useful to make your partner happy using
the 520/521 meme too, if applicable; but from my own experience, better
not bring up Linux if your partner is not interested in that topic!)
(And, pun semi-intended for that "bringing up". ;-)
