carry additional details about the nominee which the nominee is

F13 Naming: Leonidas -> Constantine -> <New Name>?
by inode0
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
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!

Fedora 12 now in RC freeze
by Bill Nottingham
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,
