FEDORA ANNOUNCE LIST

F13 Naming: Leonidas -> Constantine -> <New Name>?

John Rose, the Central US Regional Ambassador for North America, announced,[1] "F13 Naming: Leonidas -> Constantine -> <New Name>?". The full announcement, "With Fedora 12 just a few days from release it is time to begin the naming process for the next Fedora release.

Contributors can make suggestions for the name for Fedora 13 by visiting [2] and following the instructions.

Remember there needs to be an "is-a" link between the name Constantine and the name you suggest and this link must be different than all previous links used to connect Fedora release names.

Full details of the release naming schedule are available on the above link but please note than the period for gathering suggestions begins now and runs through November 16.

So there isn't a lot of time, think up some good names, and get them added to the wiki."

FEDORA DEVELOPMENT ANNOUNCEMENTS

Fedora 12 staged for mirrors, rawhide moving on soon=

|Jesse Keating announced that the Fedora 12 staged for mirrors, rawhide moving on soon[1]. Here is the full announcement: "I have just staged Fedora 12 for our mirrors. We're doing something a little different this time around. The releases/12/Everything/ tree will be open to the public as it gets staged. This will allow us to give people who have "Fedora 12" installed now access to the "fedora" repo. We will then be able to move rawhide along to Fedora 13. The Fedora/ and Live/ trees will remain locked until our release date.

On this Saturday or Sunday rawhide will have Fedora 13 content. Users of rawhide right now do not need to do anything to keep on Fedora 12. Unless you have modified your /etc/yum.repos.d/ files, you will stay on Fedora 12 as we transition. Those of you that wish to move along to Fedora 13 rawhide will need to modify your fedora rawhide.repo file and keep it enabled, while disabling fedora and fedora-updates repos.

Thanks again to all of you who have helped make Fedora 12 the great release it is about to be!"
