Fedora 18 Might Be A Frankfurter Or Spherical Cow
Toshio Kuratomi shared on the announce list that Fedora contributors can now vote for one of these eight F18 potential code-names that were narrowed down and cleared legal review. Fedora 18 will be out later in the year to succeed Fedora 17, which carries the well known codename by now of Beefy Miracle.
The eight choices for the Fedora 18 codename include:
- Chamoy
- Frankfurter
- Halva
- Ketchy Ketchup
- Pamukkale
- Pop Soda
- Spherical Cow
- Tandoori Chicken
This isn't a late April Fools' Day... This really is the Fedora 18 code-name list. Personally my vote is behind Frankfurter for at least being a half-way satisfactory codename. The Fedora 18 codename voting process will go on for one week and then the winning codename is expected to be announced by the end of month. Meanwhile, following this week's release of the Fedora 17 Beta, the Beefy Miracle is expected to be released by the end of May.
Potential tasty codenames for Fedora 19? Assuming this whole process doesn't get canned by the board...
