FUDCon Brno report
------------------
* KevinKofler reported from the FUDCON in Brno.
* The KDE-SIG was represented by KevinKofler, LukasTinkl and JaroslavReznik.
* They held a presentation about the "pillars of KDE 4" with small
examples of how to use them as a developer and gave an overview of the
goals with KDE4 in Fedora. [8]

KDE-4.1.1 status
----------------
* KDE 4.1.1 is already built for F9 and queued for updates-testing. [9]
* Also the KDE4-parts in Fedora 8 are queued for updates-testing. [10]
* KDE 4.1.1 will stay in testing for one week and then go stable.

Fedora 10 Beta
--------------
* Fedora 10 Beta will still use nm-applet for controlling NetworkManager.
* The NetworkManager plasmoid isn't ready yet (it was scheduled for August).
* Alternatives would be the KDE3 based [11] and KDE4 based [12]
knetworkmanager (but the latter didn't get many development in the past).
* SebastianVahl reported about the current state of the live images:
 o The Beta will likely come with this package list [13] and this
kickstart [14].
 o Main differences to the Alpha are: only @fonts (and so no additional
fonts), without amarok (space issues)
 o kdelibs3 will still be on the live images (required by k3b,
konversation, kftpgrabber, filelight, ksshaskpass)

Echo Icon Theme will be default in F10, what will we use in KDE?
----------------------------------------------------------------
* RexDieter tested Echo as first fallback in Fedora-KDE (before Oxygen)
and reported it was working well for KDE4 apps.
* KDE3 apps still have to rely on CrystalSVG.
* kde-settings will be prepared to use Echo in Rawhide for testing.

Fedora User Guide for F10
-------------------------
* The "current" user guide for the KDE Desktop is still based on Fedora
8. [4]
* We'll need some volunteers to update it for Fedora 10 (KDE 4.1) and
also Fedora 9 (KDE 4.0).

Additional notes
----------------
* KDE 3.5.10 is queued for updates-testing in Fedora 8 (whole desktop)
[15] and Fedora 9 (only KDE3 parts) [16].
* The review [17] of kde-plasma-lancelot [18] will be finished today.

A small authors note:
My time in the past was too limited to write these summary mails for the
KDE-SIG-Meetings. But I'll hope I'll find the time again to do this on a
weekly basis.
