Unfortunately that won't work, as all names have to be cleared by Legal. The ability to suggest names for the upcoming Fedora release is a honor we grant people who put up with the traffic on fedora-devel-list, and participate in the ongoing development of Fedora. It used to be something exclusive to Red Hat employees, but over the years we've opened it a bit more. However it's not a free for all, and it is a bonus for those that are doing a lot of the work. If you want the ability to add suggestions, be on that list near the start of a development cycle when the call for suggestions goes out. We take all the reasonable suggestions that follow the formula and run them through Red Hat's legal team (not a small cost) to find the names that would be acceptable should they be chosen. Then the vote is provided for a larger set of folks. That's how it happens. -- Jesse Keating RHCE (jkeating.livejournal.com) Fedora Project (fedoraproject.org/wiki/JesseKeating) GPG Public Key (geek.j2solutions.net/jkeating.j2solutions.pub)
