The torrent files are actually there, but the page hasn't been updated.
Plus, Fedora 10 is still on the list. :(

Paul Frields on Fedora 12 and Beyond
By Janani Gopalakrishnan Vikram
/Two months after the launch of Fedora 12, we spoke to Paul Frields,
Fedora Project Leader at Red Hat, about how this release has been
received by the community, and what is in store for the next. Though it
started as a technical discussion on what Fedora 12 offers IT admins and
developers, it graduated into a more serious conversation on the
relationship between Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and the
distinction (if any) between commercial and community Linux.

Swot
by Stefano Alberini
Dear Nelson,
ok, no problem, when you are ready and when you want, please advise me.
Swot it's very interesting for me.
Then we can try to do a marketing Fedora plan (an Open Source plan), we can
study something...
Ciao

Talking points updated
by Paul W. Frields
I made some edits to the talking points:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_13_Talking_Points
The vast majority of the edits were just stylistic in nature, mostly
to make language more concise. However, I did make a couple
substantive changes:
* Combined the SystemTap static probes and Python debugging points, at
the suggestion of Dave Malcolm. Dave's the engineer who's been
involved in the latter at least and certainly understands the
former.
* Fixed the Authconfig UI/SSSD talking point to concentrate on the
latter half. It's not clear whether the authconfig UI changes will
be completed by F13, and they aren't required to do so by the
feature completion plan. So I've added soem explanatory text there
that leaves the door open.
I made these changes in the role of a fellow Marketing contributor, so
no one should take them as dictatorial. :-)

F13 Slogan - Translation suggestions and guidelines
by Robyn Bergeron
As announced earlier today
(http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2010-March/011940.html),
the Fedora 13 "Goddard" slogan has been chosen and approved: "Rock
it!"
As explained in the release slogan SOP, for best effect the slogan is
decided on the basis of the Fedora Project's lingua franca. However,
the Marketing team realizes that not all languages will be able to
offer a direct translation of the slogan with the same effect. We
provide the information above to help translators understand the
connotations and other impact of the slogan.
We trust our translators and fellow Fedora Project members to use
their best judgment to find a compatible slogan for their locale if
the slogan is difficult to translate as is. Translators should try to
ensure that their translations do not have negative connotations or
connections in their language.
The slogan has the following meanings:
* "Rock it!" is a pun on the word "rocket." Rocket trails are part of
the artistic theme for Fedora 13.
* "Rock it!" invites users to proudly use and enjoy Fedora for all its
many features and virtues. When someone "rocks" something, they use or
display it proudly. Incidentally, "Goddard" is named after the
scientist Robert H. Goddard [1], who made significant contributions to
the space age in the field of Rocket Engineering, including the first
liquid propelled rocket.
During translations please ensure the following:
* Do not translate the word "rock" in the context of "earth,"
"stones," or "pebbles," or the throwing of rocks or stones.
* If possible, you can relate your translation with "Goddard" and the
Fedora 13 artistic themes of propulsion, ascent, and achievement.
* The slogan you provide for your language should invite users to have
an excellent experience with Fedora 13.
By meeting these guidelines, you can provide a positive message for
Fedora 13 in your language without ambiguity or confusion.
Thanks!

F13 Release Slogan - Rock it.
by Robyn Bergeron
For the 13th Release of Fedora, "Goddard," the Fedora Marketing team
ran an open, community based process of slogan submissions, found at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Release_slogan_SOP. That process
included guidelines for producing great slogans, and as a result of
our call, we received a large number of slogan contributions, which
are recorded at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F13_release_slogan.
After an exciting and enjoyable Marketing Team meeting, the release
slogan for Fedora 13 "Goddard" has been chosen and approved: "Rock
it!"
We would like to thank all the contributors who have participated in
this process.
Cheers!
