Distributions: No winter break in Linux land

*With Fedora 12 and Ubuntu 9.10 now out the door, developers are already 
turning their attention to the spring releases. KDE3 has definitively 
gone the way of the dodo as far as openSUSE and Mandriva are concerned. 
Google is taking its first steps in the operating system market with 
Chrome OS.

Following on from Fedora – always something of a pioneer amongst Linux 
distributions – Ubuntu is also now planning to merge open source Nvidia 
driver Nouveau into the kernel.

Elections are also taking place at Fedora, for the Fedora Board 
<http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Board/Elections/Nominations>, Fedora 
Engineering Steering Committee (FESCo) and the Fedora Ambassadors 
Steering Committee (FAmSCo).

A name for Fedora 13 has now been chosen; the next release, scheduled 
for the 27th of April, 2010, will be called Goddard (after scientist 
Robert H. Goddard). Traditionally the new name always has a connection 
with the old, the link here being rocket science.
