Summary

KDE 4.1.3 update for F-9/F-10

• KDE 4.1.3 will be included in the next push to Fedora 9 updates-testing-newkey.
• The work for F10 will start now and KDE 4.1.3 will be provided as a 0-day update.

Desktop User Guide

• JaroslavReznik has posted a first draft.
• The remaining topics will be delegated on #fedora-kde after the meeting.

Backports: systray

• According to JaroslavReznik his backport is crashing with missing symbols due to changes in libplasma.
• So we will wait for KDE 4.2 and avoid a backport then.

Possible KDE spin additions: liveusb-creator

• The proposed addition liveusb-creator has already been included in the KDE live images since Snapshot2.
• But there would be enough space for more proposals. Currently the spins are at 678 megs for i686 and 683 megs for x86_64.

Upcoming events: FUDCon11, CampKDE

• RexDieter asked if any KDE SIG member will attend one of them.
• Unfortunately both events are too far away for most of the KDE SIG members.

#469452: akregator crashes on startup with an imported feeds.opml:

• Short summary: akregator will crash on startup when expiry is enabled.
• We'll try to backport the upstream fixes and include them in f10-final.

#471022: Can't hide akregator by clicking systray icon:

• Short summary: clicking on akregator's systray icon doesn't minimize akregator when it's already visible.
• This is fixed in kdepim 4.1.3 which will be provided as a 0-day update.
• If the fix is only trivial it will be backported to the version in f10-final.

Open discussion:

• KDE related classroom:
  • KevinFenzi asked the KDE SIG for a KDE-related class in the new IRC classrooms.
  • The most popular discussed topic for a KDE class was a KDE 4 for KDE 3 users session.
  • RexDieter, KevinKofler and JaroslavReznik will hold this at December 6 at 14:45 UTC.
