Hi, seems like the discussion steered to the phase of no return to the reasonable output, also it stalled - so we (as a Board) would like to push it forward.
I think the best idea for now is try to get interested people to meet together, to check if there's real demand for the change and if so, to start with the real proposals to create a new process.
I created Doodle poll - the next two weeks, I can add more option, just it's not very user friendly. Feel free to vote and we will see ;-)

At the last Board Meeting, the Board looked at the poll results asking whether people felt like continuing to name releases. The results seemed to show that many people do like having a name associated with Fedora releases. However, the discussion before and after has shown there is a desire to improve upon the current method of selecting the names.
The Board decided that it would be worthwhile to come up with a new procedure for selecting the name for the Fedora 19 release and beyond to attempt to solve some of the issues that have been brought up. The Board is looking for volunteers who would like to do two things:
(1) Answer the following questions:
- What benefits does the Project get from the current release naming process?
- What changes do people want to see in a revised process?
(2) Come up with at least one proposal and analyze it according to the answers to the previous questions.
If anyone is interested in coming to a weekly meeting to work on this, please feel free to contact me. If anyone would like to champion this, please contact me ASAP so I know whether there is someone else who's going to champion this or if I need to lead the effort.
I've put up a wiki page that tries to summarize the answers to the first two questions that I've seen circulated on the advisory-board mailing list and a link to the only proposal I currently know of (mizmo's proposal to use a single theme for all of the new Fedora releases).
Thanks, -Toshio

Well, the first week in Doodle was too fast for many people but looking on Doodle results - Friday 15th 5 PM UTC (1 PM EDT, 7 PM CEST) should work for all interested people and gives us some time to propagate/ announce it.
Is it still ok for you?

Ok
Hi, to move forward with %SUBJ% we scheduled a first meeting. The agenda for this first meeting should be more the introduction to the problem, to check the real demand for change and to find out what are our expectations from the potential change etc. Btw. I'd like to avoid the flame only meeting :)
When and where (based on Doodle poll)? Friday, June 15th 5 PM UTC (1 PM EDT, 7 PM CEST) #fedora-meeting-1 channel (see [1] for schedule).
If you are interested in the future of release names, you enjoy the naming fun release after release, please, join us! It's not about someone decides and takes the power but everyone is welcomed.
