=== The Future of Phonon in KDE ===
''TODO: Need to talk to Kevin Kofler about this, to get the entire story.'' Qt 4.6 is going to include a new namespace to handle Multimedia, which will supersede Phonon, the KDE sound system which was pulled into Qt for the 4.4 release.<ref>http://doc.trolltech.com/4.4/qt4-4-intro.html#multimedia-api</ref>. A few members of the SIG believe that this will have negative effects on the state of KDE and Qt applications and, because the API will become stale and bitrot will eventually render the Qt fork of Phonon useless. The SIG's leaders will be meeting with upstream KDE this week to discuss the future of Phonon in KDE.

Live images dependencies: breaking libcanberra-gtk2 dependency

This week the KDE SIG team worked to remove libcanberra-gtk2 from the live images because it forces the inclusion of many GNOME dependencies due to a requirement for GDM. Kevin Kofler discovered that libcanberra-gtk2 requires GDM for ownership of a single file, /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow/libcanberra-ready-sound.desktop. A bug[1] has been filed on the package and when this is resolved, the KDE Live Spins will have about 30MiB fewer dependencies.
