Fedora KDE Special Interest Group

Mission

The KDE SIG (Special Interest Group) is a group of Fedora contributors that maintain KDE packages in Fedora, as well as the KDE Spin and Fedora Kinoite. Their mission is to provide high-quality, usable KDE software packages to Fedora users and developers, and to support one another in maintaining those packages.

Communication

Weekly meetings

The KDE SIG conducts meetings on Mondays at 1300 ET, with a meeting duration of 1 hour. These take place here on KDE's BigBlueButton instance. In here, we will discuss issues and improvements related the KDE software stack on Fedora, especially those that are filed on our issue tracker. We mostly communicate using voice chat, and some of us will share camera feeds. There is also text chat if you prefer that. Here is the meeting calendar.

Communication channels

The KDE SiG can be found in Matrix.

Issue and progress tracking

For more formal proposals, bug reports, suggestions, etc, we have a Pagure issue tracker.

How you can help

If you have no idea how to help us, here are some areas we always need help with:

Packagers: There are so many interesting packages that are not yet packaged for Fedora. If you want to see it in Fedora, here are Fedora's packaging guidelines.
Reviewers: Only a few people are doing kde-related reviews. Help us review so that more packages can be included.
Testing/QA: If you want to help test KDE software, use the updates-testing repository, and report bugs here. You might also like to get acquainted with Fedora's QA process.
Wiki: Maintain KDE-related wiki pages and keep the info up-to-date. Here is a good place to start.

More info

Joining the SIG

Joining the KDE SIG is as simple as being part of Fedora and having a love for KDE. Once you are a contributor to Fedora, you can join the SIG by adding your name below and communicating with the rest of the team in the usual Fedora channels.

-Joining the KDE SIG is as simple as being part of Fedora and having a love for KDE.  Once you are a contributor to Fedora, you can join the SIG by adding your name above and communicating with the rest of the team in the usual [[Communicate|  Fedora channels]] .
+If you have no idea how to help us, here are some areas we always need help with:
+* '''Packagers:''' There are so many interesting packages that are not yet packaged for Fedora. If you want to see it in Fedora, [https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/ here] are Fedora's packaging guidelines.
+* '''Reviewers:''' Only a few people are doing kde-related reviews. [https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/ReviewGuidelines/ Help us review] so that more packages can be included.

+* [[SIGs/KDE/Mobile]]
-* '''Reviewers:''' Only a few persons are doing the kde-related reviews. [[Packaging/ReviewGuidelines| Help us reviewing]]  so that more packages could be included.
+* [[KDE/Debugging]]
-* '''Testers:''' If you love KDE use the development version or the updates-testing repository and report bugs, bugs, bugs, request enhancements or features. We need your feedback to improve KDE. See the [[SIGs/KDE/Testing|testing page]] for things to test.
+* [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KDE/X11_Unsupported Fedora 40: X11 is now unsupported]

+Joining the KDE SIG is as simple as being part of Fedora and having a love for KDE. Once you are a contributor to Fedora, you can join the SIG by adding your name below and communicating with the rest of the team in the usual [[Communicate|Fedora channels]].
-There will be informal [[SIGs/KDE/Meetings| KDE SIG meetings]]  in the [[Fedora meeting channel | #fedora-meeting channel]]  every
+== Participants ==

-=== IRC Channel ===

+* [[User:tdawson|Troy Dawson]]
-Besides the [[SIGs/KDE/Meetings| KDE SIG meetings]]  there is also existing a freenode channel for developers and users of KDE in Fedora: [[Communicate| #fedora-kde]]

+* [[User:Siosm|Timothée Ravier]]
-== Programming Tasks ==
+* [[User:ngompa|Neal Gompa]]
-Since Fedora strives to release software on the leading edge we often have to do programming work upstream in order to get things to work together.  This can range from diagnosing and fixing bugs that upstream is not yet aware of to porting applications to a brand new framework.  Please visit the [[KDE_Programming_Wishlist| Programming Wishlist]] for a list of items that need programmer attention.

-=== Best Practices ===
-* For proper Requires:, consider using before the <code>%description</code> section this code:
-<code>%{?_kde4_macros_api:Requires: kde4-macros(api) = %{_kde4_macros_api} }</code>
-* Here are some example <code>%build</code> and <code>%install</code> sections:
-<pre>
- %build
- mkdir -p %{_target_platform}
- pushd %{_target_platform}
- %{cmake_kde4} ..
- popd
- make %{?_smp_mflags} -C %{_target_platform}
- %install
+== Historical ==
- rm -rf %{buildroot}
- make install/fast DESTDIR=%{buildroot} -C %{_target_platform}
-</pre>
-* In the <code>%files</code> you can use at least the following macros:
+* [[SIGs/KDE/Historical|Historical SIG pages]]: Those pages are outdated (see the top of this page for up to date content). They are kept here for reference.
-<pre>
- %{_kde4_appsdir}

- %{_kde4_iconsdir}
- %{_kde4_includedir}
