Summary
Celebration of Fedora 12 going GOLD:
 * The KDE-SIG celebrated the gold status of Fedora 12.
 * With Hello Chissini de Castro a new KDE-SIG member was introduced.
 * He has been working for Connectiva/Mandriva for over 10 years and is also a KDE developer for a long time.

Status of KDE 4.3.3:
 * KDE 4.3.3 is imported into CVS for F10 and F11, work on F12 is ongoing.
 * (Existing) Extragear for KDE 4.3.3 packages will follow when buildroot is ready.
 * KDE 4.3.3 will be the last update for F10 which will EOL soon.

Features for F13:
 * KDE related features and their owners for Fedora 13:
 * phonon/pulseaudio integration (KevinKofler)
 * knetworkmanager (RexDieter)
 * polkit-1 in KDE (JaroslavReznik)
 * Firefox/OpenOffice.org integration in KDE (LukasTinkl)
 * Prepare a wiki page outlining KDE features in F13 to work on (LukasTinkl) (SIGs/KDE/F13Features)

package splitting:
 * SebastianVahl proposed a splitting of KDE packages as a possible Feature for F13.
 * Splits could be done on a per-app basis or a split out of the "popular" packages.
 * First pros/cons were discussed in the meeting:
 * more control over the installed packages (+)
 * better support for a minimal runtime for small targets (like netbooks) (+)
 * huge increase of metadata to download (--)
 * more work for packagers (-)
 * more complexity for users (-)
 * SebastianVahl will prepare a wiki page with pros/cons and a documentation of the splitting already done as a basis for further discussions.
