From Fedora Project Wiki
This page is based on the Marketing schedule template which should be copied over at every new release. This schedule depends on Fedora General release schedule. We are now in the Fedora 11 cycle.
A list of general tasks which are not particularly related to a Fedora release cycle can be found on Marketing tasks.
