Leonidas

The release name for Fedora 11 is Leonidas. The name was announced at FUDCon F11, currently underway in Boston.

I’ve been following the proceedings from afar, via blog, wiki, and the Flickr. FUDCon’s heavy emphasis on virtualization and Selinux alone would have been worth the price of admission. Even a non-zero price of admission. I wanted to attend this one, but $DAYJOB activities, the fast-approaching Search for America Tour, and my general disinclination to fly combined in my deciding to sit this one out.

To wrap up the naming of Fedora 11, we see the release name relationship preserved thusly:

Cambridge(Fedora 10) was a warship (in the Royal Navy).
Leonidas(Fedora 11) was a warship (in the Union Navy).

Therefore, Fedora 12 will not be the name of a warship. More detailed protocols on Fedora relase naming are here. Pretty interesting process.
