I'm not harboring anything but admiration but I am willing to help out
more this cycle if you haven't been overrun with volunteers. This
would help prevent me from committing other offences, like moderating
town hall meetings ...

I stubbed out the schedule for Fedora 13.

Thanks John. I have been asked to consider having the voting period
for this election include a full weekend. Would this work for you as
well? Would this be ok with the legal review needs?

* Name collection: November 10 to November 16
* List to Fedora Board: November 16 to November 21
* Legal Review of Board approved names: November 21 to November 28
* Community vote on final name: November 28 to December 4
* Name announced: December 5, 2009

That seems fine to me. One thing some people might raise (which I don't
think matters) is that Fedora 12 won't be released before we start on a
name for Fedora 13. The original dates were drafted before Fedora 12
slipped.


This also shorts the legal review by three work days which might cause
problems.... might not. It's hard to know how much the "weekend" buys
in this case because it is a holiday weekend in the US.

Looks pretty good to me, although I would like the Board to make its
recommendations to Red Hat Legal by NLT November 19, to ensure we
aren't sending Legal into crunch time right before the Thanksgiving
holiday.

I did touch base with Legal earlier and they said they'd be able to
deliver the goods even with the impending holidays.
