I'll pass along what I remember. The contest to decide the name started
off with people submitting ideas. Michael Phipps -- and some of the
other developers IIRC -- decided on the top 5 names and then the
community voted on the top 3 names they liked best. According to
Michael, the name Haiku was mostly not the top pick, but in people's top
3, so it became the name.
We had our first convention in Columbus and it was named WalterCon
because it was where the name was going to be announced and they needed
a name for the convention until the announcement.
This is not correct. :P Walter was the fake name we came up with to
announce so we could tease our fans. :) In fact, it generated quite a
heat in the community as a whole, including some death threats (I am not
kidding). :)
