Fedora 12 needs a BOLD name : "Monolith!" and other matters

[Mark McLaughlin]

I didn't like any of the codenames for Fedora 11 but for Fedora 12, I want
to put in the name "Monolith" to honor Arthur C Clarke and Stanley Kubrick!
 They among others inspired me to write and think of bold ideas.  As far as
a User Manual for F-11, I hope the final result will be in PDF format.  I
often write rough drafts of things in RTF or DOC format then put out a final
copy in PDF.  If any help is needed for structuring F-11 User Manual or
Start Up, let me know...

Yeah ok. Like F11,
the F12 naming process begins after F11 is released,
so you might listen to fedora-announce-list and the like for information
on when you can make a proposal.

I often missing the initial name idea generation, but it happens
mainly on fedora-devel-list.  This pattern of picking the name on the
tail of the previous release is going to continue.  For example, the
Design team is doing their artwork theme based on the name, so they
need it as early as possible.  Keep your eyes open after F11 ships ...

PDF should be no problem, since we are using Publican.  Take a look at
the User Guide tasks, currently finishing the F9 version:
