Targeted GA Date
Historically Fedora strives to release a new distribution every six months or so, on a Tuesday as close as possible to October 31st and May 1st of each year. For the Fedora 15 release, three factors impacted the decision to move this date out by two additional weeks: Moving feature freeze to after FUDCon, adding more space between Fedora's release date and another distribution to be kind to the mirrors, and Gnome 3's release date.
