Summary
KDE 3.5.8:
 * All packages are built for rawhide (kde-i18n is building right now)
 * KDE 3.5.8 will get into F8
 * Updates for F-7 and FC-6 should be ready in the next week
 * Some file lists overlaps introduced by splitting the packages into libs and extras sub-packages will be adressed by RexDieter after the meeting

KDE 4 status/update:
 * KevinKofler is committing soprano-1.95.0 for F-9 only
 * F8 is branched for KDE4-related stuff
 * KDE 3.94 (KDE4Beta3) will go into devel/F-9

/usr/share/dbus-1/interfaces ownership:
 * KDE4 seems to be the only application that uses this directory
 * the easiest solution for the moment is to have soprano own /usr/share/dbus-1/interfaces

Release notes:
 * The following things should be mentioned:
 * KDE 3.5.8 (instead of KDE 3.5.7)
 * kdepim-enterprise as a replacement of normal (but broken) kdepim
 * knetworkmanager is replaced by nm-applet as a workaround because it not building against newest NetworkManager

How to get more people involved in KDE-Sig?
 * The actual list of 16 "participants" is not really matching the few active "developers"
 * The solution for this may be:
 * Write to the listed participants and ask for more active involvement
 * ask for help on fedora-devel-ml and announce that we are going to cull down the list
 * cull down the list to the known-as-active contributors after one or two week. Leave the willing to help participants from the old list.
 * Some more things should be mentioned in the wiki before writing the announcement (i.e. bug hunters)

Should we send weekly reports to fedora-devel-ml and/or Fedora Weekly News?
 * SebastianVahl will sent weekly reports after the meetings to the fedora-devel-mailinglist

Open discussion:
 * The NetworkManager hack is only included on the live images, not the DVD
 * knetworkmanager is still not building against NetworkManager
 * knetworkmanager should maybe requested for removal from F8 until it works again
 * krusader was removed from the livecd again to free some space for nm-applet
 * It maybe could be re-added if the accident that perl is depending on db4-devel is fixed
