+1) New KDE Team Leader elections:
+Scarabeus is the new leader with the majority of votes, congratulations
+
+2) Review work flow for KDE minor bumps and improve collaboration with arch teams
+We decided to skip this topic for next meeting, after preparing some documentation
+on how arch teams can approach packages in the kde overlay.  For the record, scarabeus
+proposed this model: (1) BUG (2) keywordlist (3) portage addition (4) touching profiles
+while jmbsvicetto proposed first to ask arch teams to test new deps in the overlay, if
+they don't want to use the overlay, try to add a snapshot or an early release masked in
+tree and ask them to keyword it, then follow scarabeus' policy.
+
+3) KDE-4.3.5 stabilization
+The KDE team is ready on this, we are just waiting for arches to finish. When they
+do, we will remove both 4.3.3 and 4.3.4 from tree.
+
+4) KDE-4.4 status
+4.4.0 seems very unstable, people are hitting crashes with krunner and plasma, and 
+the virtuoso migration was not smooth for everyone. Thus, we agreed that 4.4.1 or 
+4.4.2 will be a stable candidate, depending of the status of 4.4.1.
+
+5) amarok / mysql-5.1 status
+jmbsvicetto reported that it seems to work for most people for the past three days as
+noone complained. Just amarok[embedded] needs a libmysqld.so as mysql-5.0 did. Jmbsvicetto
+said he resumed his work to get a working patch again.
+
+6) enterprise useflag for kdepim stuff (a use flag to follow the enterprise branch of the
+kdepim repo, only for trunk)
+The problem is that kdepim in trunk currently is broken, more specifically kmail as mail
+storage is being migrated to akonadi, and it seems it will stay broken for a while. Tampakrap
+tried to package the enterprise branch a week ago, but some packages failed to compile, so 
+it may need more work. There is also an enterprise switch in CMakeLists.txt, but since we are
+splitting the module, we need a new batch kdepim ebuilds that will block the current kdepim ones.
+This will allow us to have an always working kdepim though. It seems a lot of work that noone
+seemed interested to do, so we decided to announce it in gentoo-desktop mailing list and call 
+for help. Tampakrap will do it.
+Speaking of trunk, we also discussed about the 4.5 snapshots, and if we should provide them. We
+decided that since kdepim is broken, we won't package them yet, until version 4.4.70. Alexxy 
+will take care of them.
+
+7) koffice status
+Scarabeus said that current koffice needs review of its depedencies based on CMakeLists.txt. 
+Tampakrap will do it and bump it in tree.
+
+8) knetworkmanager status
+Tampakrap said that knetworkmanager seems crashy, but people want it, so we will ask dagger to
+create snapshot, as he is the networkmanager maintainer.
+
+9) documentation status
+Documentation seems fine, reavertm proposed to remove kdeprefix and maybe sets refference from
+the guide. Tampakrap will take care of it.
+Scarabeus with the help of jmbsvicetto will clean up the member list.
+
+10) drop prefixes from kde ebuilds (like kdeartwork etc)
+Noone agreed on this.
+
+11) change kde-meta (and @kde-*) to include all modules (plus the developer specific ones)
+Tampakrap proposed to have every single KDE module in kde-meta (including the developer ones
+like kdesdk and kdewebdev). Many members were opposed, so the idea of a developer USE flag
+for kde-meta was introduced. The discussion will be continued in gentoo-desktop mailing list.
+
+12) stabilization of misc kde apps
+Wired owes us a script that checks for stable candidates in tree.
+
+13) patches of kde-packager
+Jmbsvicetto and ABCD will take care of applying or opening bugs about patches that were
+announced in kde-packager mailing list and need to be applied.
