+Summary of 13 October 2007 KDE herd meeting
+
+Active participants: cryos, genstef, jmbsvicetto*, keytoaster, philantrop, tgurr
+In the channel: masterdriverz
+Missing: caleb, centic, carlo, deathwing00, mattepiu, troll, vanquirius
+* = invited guests
+
+- Project page: The update of the project page was approved by the participants.
+
+- Process improvement: This topic was postponed until the next meeting.
+
+- Misc:
+
+1. Bump to KDE 3.5.8:
+The bump to KDE 3.5.8 is taking place in a git repository to allow for others
+to take part, too, and avoid critisism like for the last bump.
+This allows interested users to be "trained on the job" including the use of
+our QA tools in a controlled environment outside the official tree.
+Furthermore, the KDE 3.5.8 is not meant to be public until the release as per
+upstream request.
+Nevertheless, we will put the finished packages into the tree as package.masked
+ASAP to allow arch teams and other devs to test. After that's done, a mail will
+be sent to kde@g.o and the core mailinglist by Philantrop.
+
+2. KDE 3.5.8 in stable for 2007.1:
+We will *try* to get KDE 3.5.8 into stable in time for 2007.1 but if we don't,
+the world won't stop spinning. We will *not* inform the release guys about us
+making it in time to not endanger their time frame needlessly if we don't make it.
+
+3. Changing to split ebuilds by default:
+This suggestion was rejected by the participants for 3.5.x. We will make it the
+default for KDE 4, though.
+
+4. State of KDE4 in the overlay(s):
+KDE4 in the overlay is doing well. People are installing it, using it and are
+reporting bugs. We currently have both monolithic and split ebuilds.
+The participants decided 3:1 for keeping the monolithic ebuilds for KDE4.
+
+5. Miscellaneous
+- A particpant asked for information on cmake ("crash course"). Any input is
+appreciated.
+
+- cmake-utils.eclass. Several participants asked to get it into the tree. The final
+remaining "showstopper" is the src_test function which is mostly a verbatim copy
+of the one in ebuild.sh. We currently need it to determine if it's an in-source or
+out-of-source build. Any input on this is appreciated.
+Philantrop is going to re-submit the eclass to the dev mailinglist next week.
+
+- Arch Testers / Herd Testers. It was suggested to have Herd Testers for the KDE
+herd as per GLEP 41. The suggestion was accepted by unanimous vote.
+Philantrop will talk to hparker, the AT lead about it.
+genstef and jmbsvicetto will prepare a draft for the project page and mail to
+kde@g.o.
+
+- A participant suggested to move the scheduled meeting to the first Saturday of
+each month. This was approved by unanimous vote.
+keytoaster will update the project page accordingly.
+
+- Several participants asked about the Herd lead status as this is currently not
+reflected on the project page. The participants asked keytoaster to add the
+following to the project page directly above the "Members" box:
+"We do not have a formal lead: Decisions can be made by every herd member but it usually is a good idea to ask Philantrop because he is around and knowledgable."
+
+
+Tasks:
+- Put the finished KDE 3.5.8 packages into the tree in p.mask by October, 14th 2007
+and inform kde@g.o and the core mailinglist about it. (Philantrop)
+- cmake-utils.eclass should be re-submitted to the dev mailinglist by next week. (Philantrop)
+- Contact the AT project on how to implement HTs for the KDE herd. (Philantrop)
+- Prepare a draft for the project page about HTs. (genstef, jmbsvicetto)
+- Update the project page with information about project lead and monthly meetings. (keytoaster)
