= Summary =

should we stop shipping the broken phonon-backend-gstreamer?
    * the consensus is to keep shipping it, it's not the default anyway 
       (kkofler)
    * ship it, there is nothing broken with it, ltinkl has been using it for 
       some months already without any major problems
    * https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=503260 (we've got 2 issues 
       at least to sort out: 1. how to build support phonon (qt or 
       standalone), 2. depending on 1, how best to build/ship phonon backends) 
       (rdieter) 

KDE 4.2.4 updates
    * KDE 4.2.4 CVS done for F10/F11, builds underway (ltinkl)
    * Kevin is backporting to F9 (kkofler)
    * extragear and kde-l10n still TODO (ltinkl) 

Qt 4.5.1 updates
    * rssnow has a temporary hack, amarok-2.1 helps, and the yum issue is   
       worked-around via a well-placed Obsoletes (rdieter)
    * qt-4.5.1 is ready for stable updates (rdieter) 

amarok-2.1 status
    * amarok-2.1 landing... , for F-10 at least, means blocking on 
       libgpod-0.7.0 batch update too 

patch numbering and metadata
    * we should unify the way we number patches and document them
    * ltinkl to prepare a draft guideline on wiki 

recent bugs

Bug 502953 - kdm switches manually selected session after entering userid
    * we will drop the offending patch as a temporary solution (than)
