<div><font size="6">General Overview/News</font></div><div><font size="6"><br></font></div><div>1) We're awesome</div><div>2) 0.3 is already the default in Fedora, making our way into stable. There's not been /many/ reports.</div>
<div>3) Was nearly pushed into LTS Kubuntu, I told them not to... as 0.4 is kinda rubbish.</div><div>4) George G is back!</div><div><br></div><div><font size="6">Plan for 0.5</font></div><div><font size="6"><br></font></div>
<div>Focus is purely on improving 0.4. No huge changes, but we need to break quite a few parts which can't be backported. 0.5 will feature as the default in the next Kubuntu. Kubuntu has a very very large userbase, so we want to set a good impression as possible. Release schedule is based around Kubuntu, but also works nicely in Fedora Report all minor bugs and fix them as such. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Please check the TODO list:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?list_id=144283&query_format=advanced&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&target_milestone=0.4.1&target_milestone=0.4-next&target_milestone=0.5-next&product=telepathy">https://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?list_id=144283&query_format=advanced&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&target_milestone=0.4.1&target_milestone=0.4-next&target_milestone=0.5-next&product=telepathy</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>Please especially check the 0.5-next milestones. I want all new features assigned by the end of the soft feature freeze. If you don't think you can do something - don't have it in the milestone. If I've missed something (and I probably have) please add it.</div>
<div><br></div><div>To re-iterate the milestone plans when the hard feature freeze hits. All features from 0.5.next are removed leaving only bugs. I make a new milestone 0.5.0, and all bugs we target fixing in the first release of 0.5 get re-milestoned here. Bugs we can accept in 0.5.0 stay in 0.5-next.</div>
<div><br></div><div><font size="6">Release Schedule</font></div><div><br></div><div>Soft Feature freeze - 11/7/2012</div><div>Hard Feature freeze - 1/8/2012</div><div>String Freeze - 10/8/2012</div><div>Release - 17/8/2012</div>
<div><font size="6"><br></font></div><div>It's a very short string freeze, but there shouldn't be many new ones. If we email them up-front hopefully it won't be a problem. I'll also try and get someone to review our translations up front so we don't have the mess we had with 0.4.</div>
<div><font size="6"><br></font></div><div><font size="6">What will 0.6 be?</font></div><div><font size="6"><br></font></div><div>Properly mental. We seem to have taken up even numbers are full of crazy new stuff and take a while. odd numbers are super stable and awesome. </div>
<br><br><font size="6">Other important meeting topics:<br></font><font size="4"> - Given we don't support IRC very well should we officially support it?<br></font><br>General consensus was "no, we don't support IRC", it's a different usage and in order to have a semi-decent IRC experience we need to add a lot more that we simply don't have resources to do. It's a better user experience to learn how to use a different app than to try using this.<br>
Any bug opened about IRC should be closed with "use Konversation/Quassel", and we will hide it in the accounts KCM.<br><br>We do, however, need to improve our support for jabber conference rooms which has a lot of overlap, so as this gets better we will revisit this decision in a year (next Akademy) and see if things have changed.<br>
<br><font size="4"> - Web accounts<br></font><br>All web accounts are being consolidated into one KCM. Alex Fiestas is in charge of this. There's currently working code that nicely sets up Gmail and Facebook accounts, but this is being complicated into something far more complicated. <br>
<br>We should make sure our KCM library can be used by Alex, and work with him, but I don't see us dropping the Accounts KCM anytime soon.<br><br><font size="4"> - PIMO Person stuff<br></font><br>Vishesh was running round excitedly about this. He can explain this better than me. Poke him until he does.<div>
