= Agenda =

*  topics to discuss:
o kde4-rc3 status
o security fixes
o test day ideas

= Summary =

o kde4-rc3 status:
* KDE 4.3-rc3 is already built for rawhide.
* The packages in kde-redhat repository were also taken for a review of KDE
4.3. [1]

o security fixes:
* KevinKofler has committed the security fixes into CVS.
* The fix for CVE-2009-1725 (improper handling of numeric character
references) seems incomplete and has to be updated again.
* ThanNgo will contact KDE Security Team because of the few security
announcements in the past.

o test day ideas:
* phonon-backend-gstreamer (#513421, already ON_DEV by ThanNgo) [2]
* kpackagekit: installing unsigned packages

o Open discussion:
* WilliamStephenson gave a brief update on kde-networkmanagement development:
- The design of NetworkManager leaves many things up to the clients. Much of
these weren't implemented in the current version.
- A redesign is now mostly implemented.
- Now 90% of the clients work is done by some libraries.
- Also the plasmoid is being rewritten to reflect these changes.
- A monolithic standalone systray applet (which was written to test these
changes) is almost in a shippable state.
- The plasmoid itself isn't yet (some outstanding items: VPNC support, WPA-
EAP, cellular support)
