Student, suggest a name for the student’s desktop in Peppi!

The Peppi data ecosystem will be deployed at the University of Eastern Finland in late 2021. Peppi will replace WebOodi, so the data system change will affect all UEF students. More information about the deployment can be found on the students’ Peppi bulletin in Kamu.

Each user group in Peppi will have a desktop of their own which includes the user group’s functions. Students will use the student’s desktop in Peppi. This is called Pakki, but the name can be changed for the deploying university’s version of Peppi. Thus, we are looking for a new name for the student’s desktop for the UEF Peppi.

We organise a name contest for the student’s desktop, and all UEF students are welcomed to participate 1 – 15 March 2021.

A participant can suggest 1-3 names, and one can add voluntary reasons for the suggestion. The name suggestions can be submitted via Forms.

The winning suggestion will become the name of the student’s desktop and the winner will receive a Peppi-related prize. The winner will be decided by the students’ UEF Peppi working group.

The name of the student’s desktop will be announced during the Peppi question time for UEF students in April. More information about the question time and students’ Peppi info sessions will be posted soon.

A good name suggestion

• fits the purpose
• works in Finnish and English
• is short and succinct
• does not include numbers or special characters
• is not in widely known use elsewhere

Welcome to share your ideas and contribute to the UEF Peppi!
