+1!

Are you (or anybody else on this list) interested in joining Kannolo 
development? Currently I have a F21 kickstart that, last I checked, produced 
a working installable (Calamares for the win!) F21 KDE without GTK+. (I may 
have to update my non-AppStream PackageKit rebuild if they have updated 
PackageKit since and if the AppStream support still drags in GTK+ through 
its gdk_pixbuf use.)

http://svn.calcforge.org/viewvc/kannolo/trunk/kickstart/
https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/kkofler/kannolo/

My goal now is to update the thing to F23 (I'm planning to skip F22, not 
worth starting to work on that one now), where hopefully Python 2 can go 
away (Python 3 only), I hope I can get the spin down to CD size then.

The one thing that is still missing is VPN support on the spin. That 
requires splitting the NetworkManager VPN plugins into GUI (GTK+) and non-
GUI parts. Plasma NM has its own GUI parts, but needs the non-GUI parts.

I'd also like a custom Calamares module that allows installing additional 
KDE software that is not on the spin for size reasons (full Calligra, 
Amarok, Kile, etc.). It should not just offer the whole repository, but a 
hand-selected list of recommended packages with short descriptions and with 
no GTK+ dependencies. (I do NOT want to offer Firefox there. Only KDE 
software omitted for size reasons.) It will be fairly simple to write, but 
it has to be written in C++ because it'll be a GUI module. (Python modules 
can only be batch modules in Calamares.) But I plan to eventually write this 
myself, once I have the more pressing issues (such as VPN support) sorted 
out.
