Hi,

I'm one of the developers of the Gentoo KDE Overlay, actually
I've tested almost all of the KDE4 3.91.0 tarballs and there's only a
problem so far: there are some icons from the crystalsvg theme which are
shared and installed by more than one module, in particular the conflict
seems to be between kdeartwork and kdelibs-kdenetwork-kdeedu-kdebase.
Attached you can find a list of the conflicting files.

Best regards,

Jos wanted to do some work on this, as it turns out, I'm swamped today until 
at least 1400 UTC. The announcement doesn't need to be really huge, but I'd 
like the following keymessages covered:

- KOffice 2 alpha now part of it (Inge, any input?
- Plasma at full pace, maybe some screenshots of plasmoids
- aKademy in full swing, lots and lots of stuff happening

Thanks for assistance,

no, KOffice 2 alpha will be announced seperately.

That's especially interesting to kde-promo folks, so CC:ing :-)

Re: [kde-ev-marketing] the "gamma" proposal - details that need working out

After some initial scepticism I have to say that I like the plan very much 
now, provided that we execute it properly. Some thoughts on that:

- We shouldn't delay the release. This would send a bad signal. It also would 
remove some of the motivation to get things stable for the October release 
and would be unfair to all the developers who work hard on meeting the 
current release schedule.

- The October release should be labeled as stable (because of the reasons 
given above for not delaying the release), so I don't think "gamma" really 
hits the nail here. It's a release for developers and early adopters, though. 
So maybe it could be labeled as "Platform Release" or something like that.

- The Mountainview release would be an additional step of the release 
schedule. It would mean releasing the full KDE 4 universe, as stable as 
possible at that point of time, to the broad mass of all users. Hopefully we 
can come up with a nice label for that. ("KDE 4 Everybody" ;-)

- At aKademy somebody proposed to introduce something like a release 
countdown. I think this would be a very powerful tool. Having a countdown on 
our web site, maybe sending periodic updates to relevant mailing lists, 
writing a plasma applet to show it, whatever else, all this could be used to 
create a strong awareness of the full KDE 4 release, announced at

Re: [kde-ev-marketing] the "gamma" proposal - details that need working out

As some of us are not subscribed to kde-ev-marketing, could we please
have a little more background?  Like what is the gamma proposal
and what is "Mountainview"??

I think that the gamma is about calling version 4.0 release a gamma
release and that Mountain View is related to the 4.0 release party at
Google headquarters in Mountain View, California.

Well something along these lines. Am I right?

You might be right, but I still don't understand Cornelius' message.

Mountain View California is the city where Google has its
headquarters.  It's the location that Google has offered to host a 4.0
release party for us.  We may have other party locations as well to
celebrate, but we're focusing on Mountain View as the primary
location.
