So we know it's going to be something about places in California... What will the next OS X (10.10) be named?

10.9 Mavericks
10.10 ???
 
Will the next be 10 out of 11 of 11 out of 10? I hope they will name it after an ant that lives near Mavericks :D
 
Won't it be Mac OS 11?

Nope, that's not how versioning works. You can easily go from x.9 to x.10 all the way up to x.99 or x.100 if you're so inclined.

The first version number usually - at least according to Semantic Versioning - only changes when there are major API changes, which in Mac OS terms means when they make a change akin from moving to Mac OS 9 to Mac OS X.
 
There is a rumor from last year that said it would be called OS X 10.10 "Syrah" as in a type of wine from California.
 
keeping with wave names, I'd go with OSX JAWS (hawai)
 
I think it will be OS X San Diego or OS X Malibu.
