This is the release schedule for Fedora 16. Other schedules are maintained for historical purposes at this page.
This page is a DRAFT, is half-done, unofficial, and does not represent the final Fedora 16 schedule.
Basically, some individual contributors who wondered about rough future dates put up a copy of the Fedora 14 Schedule and made a few date adjustments for their guesses on when things might happen, based on past years - no official discussions or decisions have been made about the schedule for F16. Check back in mid-May 2011, when the the actual schedule discussions and decisions will be made.

Key Milestones
These dates are rough guesses.
They're based on the Fedora 14 Schedule re-aligned to the "correct" days of the week for 2011, and most of the links are broken - the actual Fedora 16 schedule hasn't yet been set, so when it is, these dates are almost certainly going to change!
