is voted on (and suggested) by the community."

[[User:Sundaram| Rahul Sundaram]] forwarded<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2010-May/012785.html</ref> an article last week from Phoronix:

Fedora 13 "Goddard" experience should look like. Some of our favorite
features for Fedora 13 include Btrfs system rollback support, Nouveau's
Classic Mesa and Gallium3D drivers being readily available, Anaconda
installer improvements, better DisplayPort support for open-source
graphics drivers, the GNOME 2.30 desktop (and KDE 4.4 too), many package
updates, and NetworkManager improvements.


Going forward, the codename for Fedora 14 will be announced next week
"Fedora 18 (Spherical Cow) and future releases — along with RHEL 7 and future CentOS releases — will be the best way to enjoy a vanilla Gnome 3 experience."
and developers will quickly be turning their attention to this next Red
Hat release. The final release of Fedora 14 is tentatively scheduled for
release on the 26th of October, but we would be surprised if it is not
pushed back into early November per the usual Fedora milestone delays.
Fedora 14 is likely to ship with GNOME 3.0, KDE 4.5, the Linux
2.6.35/2.6.36 kernel, GCC 4.5, and X.Org Server 1.9."

=== Fedora 13 to be Released in Two Weeks (BestTechie.net===

"Among the features that I am looking forward to seeing in the 13.0
"The clock is starting to tick down on the Fedora Linux release with the feature freeze now in place. As such, now is as good a time as any to take a look at some of the new features that are likely to land when Fedora 18 goes live at the end of the year."
release of Fedora is the integration of a feature vastly similar to
Apple’s Time-Machine. This implementation will give users the ability
to back up their files and operating system onto another partition, and
boot into said snapshot if necessary.  This backup system will also give
the users the ability to create a snapshot whenever a package is
installed via Yum (the package manager used by Fedora), ensuring a much
more stable operating system.  Further, I feel that the implementation
of this feature suggests that the Fedora distribution, and many other
distributions for that matter, are beginning to become more and more
user friendly.  This is important because down the road it could lead to
a Linux gaining higher market-shares, and potentially being used by a
greater number of home users."

Jonathan Nalley forwarded<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2010-May/012781.html</ref> a post on Fedora 13's virtualization enhancements:


"Virtualization technology has long found a home in Red Hat's Fedora community Linux distribution. Ever since Fedora 4 emerged in 2005, virtualization technologies have continued to advance in the distro and that remains the case with the upcoming Fedora 13 release set for later this month."
"At a go/no-go meeting of the Fedora QA Team, the developers decided to postpone the release of the first Fedora 18 alpha by a week. The team unanimously voted to not go forward with the release because of the relatively large number of blocker bugs that are still unresolved."
