April IRC Meeting

[David Edmundson]

Thanks to everyone who filled in their availability.

The meeting will be 9PM GMT on Sunday the 10th April. Lets keep the meeting
short as most of us have work in the morning.

Agenda:

A very short summary of what's happened in each component since the last
meeting (which was January sometime) from the component leaders.

 - Contact List (mck182)
 - Chat UI (nwokeka)
 - Call UI (gkaigia)
 - Accounts KCM (volunteers?)
 - Approver (gkiagia)
 - The plasmoids (drf_____)

The most important thing to discuss:
"Release 0.1alpha"

The most important thing to decide with a release is "who is it for". For me
the main purpose of a release is to say "We are doing stuff, look at all
this". It's about publicity and getting attention within the KDE Community
rather than about getting 'normal' everyday users.

I don't care about whether everything is feature complete, or if it's 100%
perfect. Though it is important to have a solid stable codebase and to show
the potential of the project - and ideally to try and highlight some of the
application integration possible (i.e KDE Tp can be so much more than
Kopete). I want people to look at it and go "ah, that's cool - that's
progressing well and shows a lot of new cool ideas".

(and most importantly, look like we're doing enough for the eV to send us
all to the desktop summit)

Does anyone disagree with this objective?

With these goals in mind, I want all component leads to list everything that
needs doing before a release, and some kind of timeframe as to how long this
will take. Please think about this _before_ the meeting. It may be worth
making a list of all your outstanding tasks in bugzilla, and even listing
stuff you don't intend to get done before a release and list that you think
it can be deferred. Please also think about this when prioritising your
coding

Also try and think about is there anything that isn't being handled by any
of the above components.

We also need to task finding out how to deliver this as something that can
be downloaded/distributed especially wrt icons and protocol files.

If you have anything you want to raise at the meeting please let me know.

For anyone who can't attend the meeting, a short summary will be published
to the mailing list afterwards.
