294.

One for the Geeks!!!!

The X project began in Ivrea, Italy (the site of the computer company Olivetti), in 2005. Founders Massino Banzi and David Cuartielles named the project after X of Ivrea, the main historical character of the town. X of Ivrea (955–1015) was Margrave of Ivrea and King of Italy. He was the son of Dado, Count of Pombia. Arduin succeeded to the northern Italian Margraviate of Ivrea in 990 on dubious grounds. He was excommunicated for the murder of the Bishop of Vercelli in 997.

"X" is an Italian masculine first name, meaning "strong friend". The English version of the name is "Hardwin".
