Fedora 13 Could Be Segovia Or Commodus

Posted by Michael Larabel on November 10, 2009

With the release of Fedora 12 being just days away, it's that time of the year again where Red Hat and the Fedora Project are seeking out possible codenames for their next release, Fedora 13. Among the names that have been proposed so far are Segovia, Commodus, Buland Darwaza, Methodius, Plato, and Watergate. Proposals for possible Fedora 13 codenames are being accepted until later this month when voting will get underway by Fedora contributors. The finalized codename for Fedora 13 will be announced on the 5th of December.

The list of name suggestions for Fedora 13 is available on the Fedora Wiki. So far for Fedora 13 we know that it will likely carry X Server 1.8 support, NFSv4 support, greater DisplayPort monitor recognition with the open-source drivers, and other features.

Fedora 13 is due out in late April or early May.
