Topics
Nepomuk integration
Review the current feeder agents, Sebastian had some ideas on how to improve them
Review search queries used by KMail, esp. full text search does not yet cover everything I think
Look into recording usage data (think recently used addresses++)
Kontact and Kolab Groupware update
KDEPIM on mobile devices like Maemo5/6, Symbian or Windows-Mobile.
The future of PIM/groupware regarding privacy and data syncing. (see the last section of
KDEPIM on Windows.
Thorsten
wants to change back ktimetracker from a kontact part to a standalone-application. What experiences have others made?
SyncML support, both as client and server, and how SyncEvolution could be integration into KDE for that
sync support beyond SyncML
PIM data conversion (Evolution vCard dialect vs. KDE vs. ...)
Discuss merging of the akoandi-ports branch
KMail data/config migration to Akonadi
Identifying other critical parts for 4.5
What do we do with bugs/wishes of the pre-Akonadi apps?
Making (more) use of CDash
my.cdash.org
fix our unit tests
integration into our workflow (eg. subscribing kde-pim to build errors?)
Planning the 4.5 development cycle
depend on kdelibs trunk or 4.4?
as much discussions, reviews, and presentations as possible
Parenting of Akonadi::Items
Potentially implementable generically
Lots of issues related to multiple possible parents for emails for example.
The agent can not just pick one item as the parent if you get duplicate mails for example.

Kolab Konsortium projects
2008: Enterprise4
Port of Kontact to KDE 4 running on Linux, Mac OS X (Beta), Windows (Beta); here Beta refers to readiness for production use in enterprises
the latest release was in December 2009
Kontact for Windows can be downloaded at
2009: Prototype Enterprise5
Development of a prototype of Kontact based on Akonadi
Funding for the development of the final product has not yet been secured
2010: Komo3 -> Enterprise 5
Development/Port of Kontact (Enterprise5 version) to N900 (prototype) and a Windows Mobile 6.5 device (production quality), the device is not yet fixed, maybe an htc touch pro2. More than 80% of the code is expected to be ths same for all five platforms.
Release Plans
KDE SC 4.4
in deep freeze
KAddressBook based on Akonadi and Nepomuk
KDE SC 4.5
will probably be released in August 2010; feature freeze will be in April or May
Goal: KMail, KOrganizer, KJots and probably also Akregator based on Akonadi and Nepomuk
Akonadi-ports branch will be merged to trunk very soon (next week); most serious open issue: migration of old mail storage; combined maildir/mbox resource (aka KMail legacy resource) is needed
some important user visible changes that the Akonadi-port of KMail will bring:
Working virtual folders (aka search folders)
IMAP IDLE support
Caching policies for IMAP (and probably other online resources)
On Akonadi meeting before the freeze we will decide if Kontact is ready for release with KDE SC 4.5
kdepim will have to compile and work with kdelibs 4.4
Git move: need to get involved
Beyond KDE SC 4.5
Enterprise-ready Kontact
Explore new UI concepts for Kontact enabled by Akonadi/Nepomuk (for non-enterprise users)

How to participate
People who want to participate in this
BOF
contact Thorsten via chat.
Goal
We want to learn tricks how to use our time most effectively with Qt Creator. We want to learn and document how we best move existing KDE programs towards Qt Creator. As an example, if you do not have a .ui file for your UI, you will not be as effective as you could be with Qt Creator.
Topics
What about KDevelop and Eclipse?
How to create a new project with qtcreator
How to import an existing project (kdepim) into qtcreator
Meeting notes
Reparenting of items will continue in the same vein as currently. Details on the mailing list.
