F13 Naming: Leonidas -> Constantine -> <New Name>?
by inode0 09 Nov '09

09 Nov '09

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 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Name_suggestions_for_Fedora_13 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. Have fun, John

Fedora 12 has gone gold
by Jesse Keating 09 Nov '09

09 Nov '09

We have just completed our Go / No Go meeting for Fedora 12 and have reached the decision to Go. Fedora 12's package set is golden and we're ready to stage things for shipping. Great work all around, I'm very proud of this release. I'm sure there will be more back patting and hand shaking to come, but Will Woods would like to remind everybody that it's just 11 weeks until Fedora 13 Alpha freeze! -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating

Testing of the latest Fedora 12 release candidate (RC4) is underway and a meeting will be held on #fedora-meeting today at 20:00 EST TODAY (01:00 AM UTC Tues)to determine if there are any known blocker bugs which would cast doubt on our ability to release on our current GA date of record: 2009-11-17. After the "Go/No Go" meeting I will also announce the final release readiness meeting... either this coming Wednesday or the following Wednesday @ 19:00 UTC (3 PM EDT/12 PM PDT). In the meantime help test if you can. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_12_RC4_Install Thanks, John

Fedora 12 now in RC freeze
by Bill Nottingham 05 Nov '09

05 Nov '09

We are reaching a *very* deep freeze now as we try and get a final release candidate for Fedora 12. Bodhi is now open for submitting F-12 updates, and we hope to have update repositories for testing later this weekend. If you have critical blocking issues, you can continue to file tag requests with 'make tag-request', and they will be considered. For the majority of updates, though, please use bodhi. Thanks, Fedora release engineering
