Please sign up at

right amount of coffee as well.

The Necessitas maintainers only have to take the slot. Are you reading 
this? Feel free forwarding to the right people.

I have discussed this with Ian Dean. We are finding a way to get him 
from South Africa to SF. If anybody else is using or contributing this 
port please show up.

Note that the core mission of the Qt Contributors Day is more about 
discussion and collaboration and less about listening and learning 
(although that too, you know what I mean). If these sessions happen I 
would expect that they would concentrate on how make sure Qt upstream 
gets the right patches (if this is not happening already), how they can 
become part of the official infrastructure, releases, roadmapping...

If you have any specific suggestion please list in in detail at

This will be slightly more organized than a pure unconference but we 
will let enough time and space for adhoc activities.
