   o we need QA volunteer

notice"

plasma-nm update etc. 
   o rdieter will prepare concept

* jreznik contacted pinheiro (upstream) for his idea
* fedora design team feels more negative on this
* we'd like to try, we need more communication between upstream and our design 
team

folks in "sharing branding"
