Summary

Pulseaudio:

• We will use pulseaudio by default in Fedora 8
• A script in /etc/kde/env/ will start pulseaudio for KDE (because there seems to be no interest in system-wide usage of pulseaudio)
• With pulseaudio only started in a full session of KDE audio support won't be available in apps that are started outside a full session and if pulseaudio isn't running
• RexDieter will find out where the best place is to put this in

Infinity Splash Screen:

• artwork people offered help but at time of the meeting there was no existing splash
• we will use kde's default (splash if no splash occurs later the day)

compiz/beryl:

• compiz is obsoleting beryl now so that upgrade path will work
• we have a quick hack for switching compiz<->kwin based on compiz-manager (which isn't submitted for review yet)
• getting a package in fedora for f8-final would be difficult
• SebastianVahl will submit compiz-manager for review

knetworkmanager:

• /etc/skel/.kde/{env,shutdown} will be moved to /etc/kde/{env,shutdown} to not only affect newly created user accounts
• RexDieter will also add some minor modifications to knetworkmanager
• SebastianVahl re-included knetworkmanager on the live images again

adjust color scheme:

• the adjusted color scheme will be included as default
• later adjustements could be done then

use fedora-bookmarks:

• it is unclear for the moment how to use fedora-bookmarks directly in konqueror and if this is possible
• Plan: inlcude a snapshot now and try to figure out how to use fedora-bookmarks directly later

KDE 3.94.0 for F7, F8:

• KDE 3.94 is built for devel (rawhide for f9)
• kdebase-workspace isn't existing yet
• KDE 3.94 will be prepared for integration into f8-updates-testing and f7-updates-testing

Top-5-List of the "most-needed-next-topics" to work on (for new SIG members...):

• Such a list could help new contributors to give an advice where their help is most needed
• But this list will change often and also become outdated quickly
• A new wiki page will be prepared for the next meeting

Open discussion:

• SebastianVahl has written to all the listed "participants" in the KDE-SIG for their opinion about culling down the list of participants (see last meeting). No response yet.
• If more duplicated entries in kmenu are known which hasn't a bug yet they should be inserted in bugzilla
