 A quick word on details:

 You *must* follow the guidelines at the page listed above for your name to
 be considered.  These guidelines include the following items:

 * There must be an is-a link between the name Beefy Miracle (the name of
 F17) and your suggested name.
 * That link must be different from any previous links between release names.
 * Names of living people and well-known trademarks will likely be rejected
 as well.

I noted that a lot of name suggestions were failing the Is a test
this morning.  I've added comments to the naming table on the wiki to
names which don't have that link.  If you have suggested a name,
please look for a note there.  If the Board is unable to determine the
is a link, the name won't proceed to legal (and from there to voting
as a potential Fedora 18 code name).

Also, please make the is-a linkage as narrow as you can.  For
instance, I put down a lot of suggested links like Beefy Miracle is a
food and Potato Chips are also a food  If you can narrow down the
food category like: Beefy Miracle is a food served at summer
barbeques and so are Potato Chips that is better.  Why?  Because it
will leave open more ways to form is-a links for future Fedora Code
names.

Thank you

It is time for another episode of: NAME THAT FEDORA RELEASE

[Robyn Bergeron]

Oh, Beefy Miracle, I have relished your name for months, but as your day 
for widespread consumption (release day) approaches, it is time for the 
community to choose the name of Fedora 18.  This process begins with 
*you,* dear readers and contributors, as potential names are accepted 
for submission over the course of the next week, beginning now, March 
20th, and ending March 27th (at 23:59:59 UTC, for those of you who can't 
mustard up any ideas until the last possible second).


Frankly, I'm expecting an a-bun-dance of suggestions, and not just from 
people who cannot take my punni-ness any longer.  Rules and guidelines 
for suggestions, as well as the location in which you may make your name 
suggestions, are on this wiki page:

Schedule details for release naming are also shown on the F18 naming 
wiki page.


I know that it may be hard to *top* Beefy Miracle (ahahahaha, get it? As 
in toppings!) but I do have every bit of faith that many of you have 
already thought of name suggestions that may or may not be more mature, 
or more neutral with regards to dietary restrictions. :) I do look 
forward to seeing your suggested names and recommend, as always, to have 
fun.


Cheers,
