My bosses love me. 🙂
- You shall have no other gods before me.
- “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. for I the Lord your God am a jealous God.
- “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.
- “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God.
- “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.
- “You shall not murder.
- “You shall not commit adultery.
- “You shall not steal.
- “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
- “You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his male servant, or his female servant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor's.”
I think I’ve covered this one off. Obviously I’ve expanded it a little to include 4 more rooms, in which case I’m sure there will be a Boardroom or Secretaries Office or Treasurer’ den of iniquity or the restaurant.
I appreciate getting plaques made up would probably mean you’d go over budget, but one must remember that the Price you pay to follow the word of God is but a pittance.

To be fair I included Ada Lovelace in my list back on page 2
And I did at least consider adding Margaret Hamilton and Grace Hopper for the sake of gender equality. 🙂
Hedy Lamarr is a good shout though.

Rachel,
Bite all you want - I believe in a meritocracy and if everyone did, there would be no need to even consider gender/race equality. Perhaps that's naive, but in my industry, where its been applied, it's worked well. When it's been a case of quotas, it's been a disaster.
Regardless, gender doesn't come into the above list, it's about changing the world. To that end, maybe replace Moore with Noyce and Kilby (microchip inventors).
All of the above are things that have changed the world around us. Turing gave us the start of PCs, Noyce and Kilby made it possible to miniaturise them, Gates made them accessible to everyone, Berners-Lee made it possible to share information around the world using those systems and software, Page and Brin made it easy to find that information and add to it, Jobs and Woz put all of that in your pocket. All in less than 70 years.

Yeah.. you may want to look into what the women on Rachel's list did..
Ada Lovelace - realised that Babbage' s Analytical Engine was much more than just a calculator and envisioned it as a general purpose computer, published the first algorithm, regarded by many as the first computer programmer.
Margaret Hamilton - literally invented the term "software engineering". She was director of the MIT team that wrote the asynchronous flight software for the Apollo space program. The prioritisation, scheduling and alarm system managed to avoid aborting the lunar landing. She was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her work.
Hedy Lamarr - actress and inventor. She invented frequency hopping during World War 2, to avoid the Germans jamming the Allied radio-guided torpedoes. This became the basis of Bluetooth, Wi-fi and mobile phone comms. She is also credited with the first on-screen orgasm in mainstream cinema.
Jean Bartik - one of six women who were the first programmers of the ENIAC that taught themselves to program just by studying the schematics. Developed the concepts of subroutines, nesting, and other fundamental programming techniques.
Mary Lee Woods - early programmer working on the Ferranti Mark 1. Successfully fought for equal pay for female programmers, while writing code to solve 40 simultaneous equations. Became one of the first freelance software programmers. Mother of Tim Berners-Lee.
Sophie Wilson - designed the Acorn computer, the BBC Micro and the instruction set for the ARM processor (used in ~95% of smartphones)
And my suggestion to add to that list was:
Grace Hopper - a Rear Admiral in the US Navy and early programmer. Developed the idea of high-level human-readable machine-independent programming languages and the first compiler based on this, which later became the basis for COBOL. Awarded 40 honorary degrees. Has a college at Yale named after her. Received the National Medal of Technology and the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

I like the idea of a meeting room being: 417 - Expectation Failed 🙂
Http status codes?
I've just been in cubicle 413.
I'd give it ten minutes
I’d give it ten minutes
420. No need for the 307. I thought it was a 422, but I gave it a few good flushes and now it is 410.
200.
i thought I might have had some 103 but I had a 502 last night.
Yeah.. you may want to look into what the women on Rachel’s list did..
I did, but the OP said a Tech company, not Computer Science and Math (Code). That's why I focused on key technology developments and the story they together tell.
For instance, Sophie woods created the instruction set for the RISC (Math/CS) , but the processor architecture (Technology) was created by Steve Furber (I think) and its the architecture first and foremost that reduces power consumption, though the RIS does significantly reduce draw under load.
Hedy Lamar had the idea for frequency hopping, but Antheil created the technology which did it.
Margaret Hamilton and Grace Hopper are both utter legends, but, in my opinion, not Tech pioneers that have affected the lives of millions if not billions. Saying that, I'm a fervent believer in Grace Hopper's position on forgiveness over permission.
This isn't a man vs. woman thing - some of my all time heroes (heroines if you will) in real life are women. Karen Wilcox (MIT) Anne Neville (Leeds) to name but a few, I was simply trying to name tech pioneers that have changed the world. If you wanted to make the rooms generic, you could just name them -
Computer
Chips
Software
Internet
Information
Everywhere
and it would be the same story...
Hugh,
Pugh,
Barney McGrew,
Cuthbert,
Dibble,
Grubb
Go with colours - then you can decorate them in the corresponding colour scheme. Two reasons for this
1. Lack of confusion over which room is which.
2. Giving rooms 'clever' names is ****y as ****
3. Annoys the colour blind.
Hugh,
Pugh,
...
Discussed earlier - it's Pugh, Pugh. There is no Hugh, popular misconception. (See also, Hong Kong Phooey's name is not "Henry.")
Mind you it is IT. You could name them all after shades of beige:
"Is this room 'Desert Sand', 'Tuscan' or 'Unbleached Silk'?"
3. Annoys the colour blind.
This sort of attitude towards people with a disability really makes me see gray.
