+
+ - Removing kdeprefix for apps not in kde-base
+   reavertm explained that the goal was to drop the kdeprefix use flag for all apps
+   outside of kde-base and that he already started the work for it (including a rewrite
+   of the eclasses) in the dropped-kdeprefix-on-non-kde-base branch in the kde-testing
+   overlay. This means deprecating NEED_KDE in favor of KDE_REQUIRED and KDE_MINIMAL, so
+   that packages are built not against the newest available KDE (when there's more than
+   1 version) but instead to the oldest - respecting KDE_MINIMAL.
+   There was a long discussion about kdeprefix, its purpose, benefits and alternatives.
+   The final consensus was to follow reavertm's solution.
+
+ - KDE3 state
+   tampakrap explained the eclasses are ready to move all packages under /usr/kde/3.5.
+   He's still testing ebuilds and could use the help of 2 people to test kde-misc apps.
+   wired and jmbsvicetto offered to help. tampakrap will prepare a list of packages and
+   we're going to search for people through the page and a mail to the dev ml.
+   To start the work on getting KDE4 marked stable, we agreed to get this work done by
+   the end of the month - we'll be masking 3.5.9 monos as soon as we get 3.5.10 marked
+   stable.
+
+ - Moving Plasmoids to the tree
+   Plasmoids were moved to kde-misc category and will be added when they're tested
+   with +kdeprefix
+
+ - Adding printing packages to the tree.
+   We've decided to hold this until KDE-4.3.
+
+ - Upstream response to the packaging snapshots mail
+   No reply again. As we're being ignored, we've decied to repackage the snapshots.
+
+ - Removing dead members
+   jmbsvicetto will go over the retirement bugs and will send emails to the members
+   that are MIA. He will get the team membership cleaned before next meeting.
+
+ - pykde fixing
+   There are some problems with having more than one pykde version with +kdeprefix
+   as it installs files outside the prefix. The solution might be to "unprefix" it
+   or to have a new package just with the python files. In any case, patrick was
+   "nominated" to work on this.
+
+ - handling kdeprefix for base ... eselect
+   After some discussion we agreed eselect was not the solution
+
+ - koffice status / what is needed
+   scarabeus informed the team that koffice-2.0 is going to be released at the end
+   of the month and asked what we should do about it. scarabeus suggested to have
+   the stable release hardmasked in the tree. We agreed to try to get one of the
+   rcs in the tree before that to allow users to test it.
+
+ - moving meeting to another date
+   We decided to have KDE meetings at the 3rd Thursday of the month.
+
+ - stable live status
+   We didn't discuss this topic.
+
+As a final note, jmbsvicetto reminded people that we still have a *few* open bugs
+and that we should all try to help get that number down.
