While the Fedora Project has just opened the voting period for the Fedora 18 release name, Linux Mint founder Clement Lefebvre has simply picked the code name for the next version of his distribution.
Linux Mint 13 will be named "Maya", in reference to the name of his daughter, the Mayan civilisation, fictional character Maya Toitovna from Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars trilogy and the German cartoon character Maya the Bee. In other news concerning the project, Linux Mint 10 has now reached end of life status which means it will no longer be officially supported and will not receive any further updates.

The discussions around the naming, both of Fedora 18 and Fedora 17, has also led to the creation of a poll which asks whether Fedora releases should be named in future; that poll closes at the same time as the Fedora 18 name vote
