Summary
 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.

 KDE-4.1.1 status 


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

 Fedora 10 Beta (Release Schedule) 


 * 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 and KDE4 based knetworkmanager (but the latter didn't get many development in the past).
 * SebastianVahl reported about the current state of the live images:
 * The Beta will likely come with this package list and this kickstart.
 * Main differences to the Alpha are: only @fonts (and so no additional fonts), without amarok (space issues)
 * 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.
 * 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) and Fedora 9 (only KDE3 parts).
 * The review of kde-plasma-lancelot will be finished today.
