Summary
Release Notes:
 * The release notes should be edited directly in the matching sections
 * It would be good two have release notes in two sections:
 * Desktop: There aren't the workspace parts of KDE4
 * Devel: We provide a "KDE4 Development Platform" for developers (KevinKofler will write these one)

Package list for livecd:
 * the inclusion of kdebase-extras was a mistake
 * ktorrent is now used as "detault" in comps.xml and so on the livecd
 * with koffice-krita (and ktorrent) the current size is ~688 megs (i386)
 * package wishes should be mentioned here: SIGs/KDE/LiveCD/Fedora-8-Test3-KDE-Live
 * krusader
 * gtk-qt-engine (the discussion was open if it will be useful or only works with plastik)
 * kmenu-gnome (the decision was not to include it)
 * kasablanca (konqueror/krusader could also do ftp)
 * basket (partly duplicated functionality with knotes)
 * mentioned but not discussed packages: apollon, kdetoys, rss-glx-kde

Get more people involved in the KDE-SIG:
 * The discussion hasn't found an end. Possible solutions:
 * Divide them into "in KDE interested people" and "developers"
 * mark them as "active/inactive" (that was no good discussion at the same topic at the amabassadors)
 * we should think about the diplomatic problems that may occur and discuss that again

Status of compiz-fusion:
 * At the moment compiz-fusion is not configurable inside kde due to missing "compiz-fusion-icon" (aka beryl-manager). So we should stick with beryl for now
 * We should ping the maintainers what's their plan with compiz-fusion in KDE is (SebastianVahl will do that)

KDM Theme for Infinity:
 * We weren't able to do any own work at the porting from the gdm theme to kdm
 * RexDieter will ask the fedora-artwork to to the porting for us (we could take it up ourselves later if there is no progress)

kdepim-enterprise-branch:
 * kmail in enterprise branch seems to work with imap filtering again.
 * An update for kdepim will be pushed to rawhide and f7-updates-testing

open discussion:
 * We were asked by DavidWoodhouse if we could do some bluetooth testing in KDE. RexDieter will try to find some people.
 * ThanNgo has closed #244611 today but we haven't had the time to check it.
 * SebastianVahl asked if a KDE 4 Development Spin would be worth to produce: With deskop packages or after Release of Fedora 8 as an inofficial spin
