Fedora 12 KDE Spin Not KDE3-less after all
Last week Rex Deiter blogged[1] about the versions of KOffice and K3b being included in the Fedora 12 KDE live spin. "The reality is that the kde4 ports of both k3b and koffice aren't quite ready, and not recommended for use by either upstream," says Dieter, so the versions shipping with Fedora 11 are going to be KOffice 1.6 and k3b 1.0.
Unofficial builds of KDE4's Koffice and k3b will continue to be built in the unofficial kde-redhat/unstable repos[2]
KDE-SIG steering committee formed
At Tuesday's KDE-SIG IRC meeting[1] an official steering committee was formed so that the SIG has somewhere "to take contentious decisions [and] so we know who exactly should be voting in such cases," says Kevin Kofler. The KDE-SIG steering group is formed of seven members, Rex Dieter, Than Ngo, Lukáš Tinkl, Kevin Kofler, Steven Parrish, Jaroslav Řezník and Sebastian Vahl. Rex Deiter will summarize the exact rules for voting and management of the Steering Committee at next week's meeting.
Amarok 2.2 released
This week marked the release of Amarok 2.2 "Sunjammer." Rex Dieter has been faithfully providing the Amarok builds from the first 2.2 beta to this release, and the final 2.2 release is currently in the stable repository. This release marks the first official release that has many features that Amarok users have been missing since the 1.4 series[1], including the ability to sort the playlist and rearrange the application's layout to your preferences. Amarok 2.2 will be the first release series that will "focus on improving what is there rather than adding major new features," says Amarok developer Lydia Pintscher.
