nntp (aka, usenet) client in kde?
by Gene Smith
I currently use t-bird with an nntp account pointing to gmane to read
this list and sereral others. Does kde have an nntp client program of
any sort? I don't see it as a possible new account type in kmail. Also,
search with kpackagekit yields nothing with "usenet" or "nntp" that is
kde specific.

mailto links
by Ed Greshko
When I click on a mailto link in chrome it brings up kmail and I want us thunderbrid. I
did what I've done in the past and used xdg-mime to change the setting.
But this is what I see.....
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ xdg-mime query default 'x-scheme-handler/mailto'
KMail2.desktop
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ xdg-mime default mozilla-thunderbird.desktop 'x-scheme-handler/mailto'
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ xdg-mime query default 'x-scheme-handler/mailto'
KMail2.desktop
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ cat /home/egreshko/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list
[Default Applications]
text/html=google-chrome.desktop;
x-scheme-handler/http=google-chrome.desktop;
x-scheme-handler/https=google-chrome.desktop;
x-scheme-handler/mailto=mozilla-thunderbird.desktop
Is there something else that needs doing?

In reality, some people should stick to running Windows and others should stay away from

and I'm considering enabling the -journald option for f24, and concerns or
objections?

display brightness not increasing on key events
by Neal Becker
Bad subject line, perhaps? Problem is, on battery, kde is configured to dim
display, and switch off after 2 min.
But when someone hits a key of mouse, the display is not increasing
brightness. This used to work correctly on my lenovo laptop, but for the
past couple of months no longer. I can manually turn the display brightness
up with Fn-F6. The display is completely off, and for a long time I thought
kde was just hung, but now I see the display is just turned down all the
way.

code of conduct reminder
by Rex Dieter
The fedora kde sig discussed the matter of fostering high-quality community
interactions in today's irc meeting, and decided to act as follows:
* Add references/reminders to fedora code of conduct in irc channels/topics,
and mailing lists
* Periodically review community conduct (primarily in our weekly kde-sig
meetings)
* Enact a policy of enforcement of CoC more strictly than in the past
This message serves as a friendly reminder that the kde-sig expects a high
level of conduct and collaboration as outlined in:
https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct
For completeness, I append its content below.
This message also serves as a reminder that these expectations will be
enforced in accordance with:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Community_working_group/CoC_Enforcement
If anyone feels any level of unfriendliness or bad behavior, please
highlight it here onlist or contact individual kde-sig members (me
included).
Thank you all for your consideration.

Code of Conduct
The Fedora community is made up of a mixture of professionals and volunteers
from all over the world, working on every aspect of the distribution from
coding through to marketing. Diversity is one of our huge strengths, but it
can also lead to communication issues and unhappiness. To that end, we have
a few ground rules that we ask people to adhere to when they're using
project resources.
This isn't an exhaustive list of things that you can't do. Rather, take it
in the spirit in which it's intended - a guide to make it easier to be
excellent to each other.
Be considerate. Your work will be used by other people, and you in turn will
depend on the work of others. Any decision you take will affect users and
colleagues, and you should take those consequences into account when making
decisions.
Be respectful. Not all of us will agree all the time, but disagreement is no
excuse for poor behavior and poor manners. We might all experience some
frustration now and then, but we cannot allow that frustration to turn into
a personal attack. It's important to remember that a community where people
feel uncomfortable or threatened is not a productive one. Members of the
Fedora community should be respectful when dealing with other contributors
as well as with people outside the Fedora community and with users of
Fedora.
When we disagree, we try to understand why. Disagreements, both social and
technical, happen all the time and Fedora is no exception. It is important
that we resolve disagreements and differing views constructively.
Remember that we're different. The strength of Fedora comes from its varied
community, people from a wide range of backgrounds. Different people have
different perspectives on issues. Being unable to understand why someone
holds a viewpoint doesn't mean that they're wrong. Don't forget that it is
human to err and blaming each other doesn't get us anywhere, rather offer to
help resolving issues and to help learn from mistakes.
