Summary
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.

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.

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

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)
