== Communication ==


=== Weekly meetings ===


== Fedora KDE Spin ==
The KDE SIG conducts meetings on Mondays at [https://time.is/18:00+UTC 1800 UTC], with a meeting duration of 1 hour. These take place [https://meet.kde.org/b/ale-swq-39j here] on KDE's [https://bigbluebutton.org/ BigBlueButton] instance. In here, we will discuss issues and improvements related the KDE software stack on Fedora, especially those that are filed on our [https://pagure.io/fedora-kde/SIG/issues issue tracker]. We mostly communicate using voice chat, and some of us will share camera feeds. There is also text chat if you prefer that. [https://apps.fedoraproject.org/calendar/kde-sig/ Here] is the meeting calendar.
The Fedora KDE SIG has played an integral role in creating the Fedora 7 KDE-Live spin and is continuing this work for Fedora 8 and beyond:
* [[Releases/FeatureFedoraKDE]]
* [[SIGs/KDE/LiveCD| Fedora-KDE-Live]]
For Fedora 8 and further, it will also be central in integrating KDE 4:
* [http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f8/en_US/sn-Devel.html#sn-kde4-dev KDE 4 Development Platform]  (Fedora 7 updates and Fedora 8)
* [[Releases/FeatureKDE4]]  (Fedora 9 and beyond, full KDE 4 desktop workspace)


Fedora 10 and further:
=== Communication channels ===
* [[SIGs/KDE/Branding|Fedora KDE branding]] (Plasma, desktop, etc.)
* [[Features/KDE42]] (Fedora 11)

As of 2023-08-06 14UTC, the two rooms are not bridged together anymore thus writing a message to IRC will not reach Matrix users (and vice versa). Note that a lot of KDE SIG members and KDE developers have moved to Matrix thus the IRC channel is likely to get less  attention and we recommend joining via Matrix.

== Joining the SIG ==
== How you can help ==


Joining the KDE SIG is as simple as being part of Fedora and having a love for KDE. Once you are a contributor to Fedora, you can join the SIG by adding your name above and communicating with the rest of the team in the usual [[Communicate| Fedora channels]] .
If you have no idea how to help us, here are some areas we always need help with:
* '''Packagers:''' There are so many interesting packages that are not yet packaged for Fedora. If you want to see it in Fedora, [https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/ here] are Fedora's packaging guidelines.
* '''Reviewers:''' Only a few people are doing kde-related reviews. [https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/ReviewGuidelines/ Help us review] so that more packages can be included.
* '''Testing/QA:''' If you want to help test KDE software, use the updates-testing repository, and report bugs [https://pagure.io/fedora-kde/SIG/issues here]. You might also like to get acquainted with Fedora's [[QA]] process.
* '''Wiki:''' Maintain KDE-related wiki pages and keep the info up-to-date. [[KDE|Here]] is a good place to start.

If you have no idea how to help us with providing a good and qualitative excellent release of KDE in Fedora here are some proposals where we need help:

* '''Testers:''' If you love KDE use the development version or the updates-testing repository and report bugs, bugs, bugs, request enhancements or features. We need your feedback to improve KDE.
* '''Bugs:''' Become a [[BugZappers| BugZapper]]  and help us with kde-related bugs.
* '''Documentation writers:''' The documentation (esp. the [[Docs/DesktopUserGuide| DesktopUserGuide]] ) is GNOME-centered. Help us to provide an equivalent for KDE.
* '''Release Notes:''' The few people that are working on the new KDE-Spin are quite busy with development issues. If you want to help us in [[DocsProject/ReleaseNotes/Process| writing the release notes]]  for the next version of Fedora we would give you all the info you need.
* '''Wiki:''' Maintain http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KDE and keep it updated with end user information.

=== Best Practices ===
 
* For proper Requires:, consider using before the <code>%description</code> section this code:
<code>%{?_kde4_macros_api:Requires: kde4-macros(api) = %{_kde4_macros_api} }</code>
 
* Here are some example <code>%build</code> and <code>%install</code> sections:
<pre>
%build
mkdir -p %{_target_platform}
pushd %{_target_platform}
%{cmake_kde4} ..
popd
 
make VERBOSE=1 %{?_smp_mflags} -C %{_target_platform}


%install
== Historical ==
rm -rf %{buildroot}
mkdir %{buildroot}
make install DESTDIR=%{buildroot} -C %{_target_platform}
</pre>


* In the <code>%files</code> you can use at leas the following macros:
* [[SIGs/KDE/Historical|Historical SIG pages]]: Those pages are outdated (see the top of this page for up to date content). They are kept here for reference.
<pre>
%{_kde4_appsdir}
%{_kde4_bindir}
%{_kde4_configdir}
%{_kde4_datadir}
%{_kde4_docdir}
%{_kde4_iconsdir}
%{_kde4_includedir}
%{_kde4_libdir}

Fedora KDE Special Interest Group

Mission

The KDE SIG (Special Interest Group) is a group of Fedora contributors that maintain KDE packages in Fedora, as well as the KDE Spin and Fedora Kinoite. Their mission is to provide high-quality, usable KDE software packages to Fedora users and developers, and to support one another in maintaining those packages.

Communication

Weekly meetings

The KDE SIG conducts meetings on Mondays at 1800 UTC, with a meeting duration of 1 hour. These take place here on KDE's BigBlueButton instance. In here, we will discuss issues and improvements related the KDE software stack on Fedora, especially those that are filed on our issue tracker. We mostly communicate using voice chat, and some of us will share camera feeds. There is also text chat if you prefer that. Here is the meeting calendar.

Communication channels

We have Matrix and libera.chat IRC (#fedora-kde[?]) rooms.

As of 2023-08-06 14UTC, the two rooms are not bridged together anymore thus writing a message to IRC will not reach Matrix users (and vice versa). Note that a lot of KDE SIG members and KDE developers have moved to Matrix thus the IRC channel is likely to get less attention and we recommend joining via Matrix. See Matrix to libera.chat (IRC) bridge unavailable.

Issue and progress tracking

For more formal proposals, bug reports, suggestions, etc, we have a Pagure issue tracker.

How you can help

If you have no idea how to help us, here are some areas we always need help with:

  • Packagers: There are so many interesting packages that are not yet packaged for Fedora. If you want to see it in Fedora, here are Fedora's packaging guidelines.
  • Reviewers: Only a few people are doing kde-related reviews. Help us review so that more packages can be included.
  • Testing/QA: If you want to help test KDE software, use the updates-testing repository, and report bugs here. You might also like to get acquainted with Fedora's QA process.
  • Wiki: Maintain KDE-related wiki pages and keep the info up-to-date. Here is a good place to start.
