Ask HN: Names for printers and conference rooms
What's the naming convention at your workplace for -
1. Printers and Conference rooms
2. Where do you work? (Company, location)
I am very curious on what naming conventions are used by various organizations in various parts of the world. Name of Planets? Names of famous inventors? Name of mountains? Names of Star-Wars characters?

- c1sc0 17y agoWe're using names of cities right now. In the previous company I worked we used names of countries for the conference rooms. Pretty boring & completely disfunctional.
