I want to thank you very much for all the effort and the great work you have 
done for KDE and Qt in all those years since the C't article (I think I read 
exactly the same one and then tried Qt back then).

After such a long time is certainly a good decision to take on new challenges. 
I wish you all the best, fun and excitement in your new job ! :-)

Viele Grüsse
