This thread is perfect for the new ML for community and marketing 
activities...

Makes a lot of sense for Qt to be in ELC and, since they're colocated, show up 
and make some splash at the Android Builders. But of itself, the ABS is not an 
event for Qt: it's audience are device builders and OEMs.

Doesn't seem very interesting to us...

Good event, we should be present. I found the last edition to be still very 
much focused on kernel development, but I'm sure the LF would welcome 
discussions higher up in the stack. Suggested topics of collaboration:

 - Wayland and improving the Linux graphics stack
 - XDG standards (e.g. QStandardPaths, QDesktopFile, QMimeType)
 - LSB 5.0 and Qt 4 and 5
 - desktops

Not sure about these. Not Qt's area.

The LinuxCons are generic and we should be present. I'll be in the LinuxCon 
Brazil in two weeks and in one of my sessions, I'll draw heavily on the Open 
Governance efforts to present how one could begin to build a community.
