I have taken on the 'coordinating' role for Qt activities for our Qt community although theres no obligation to go through me.   Im hoping others from the Ubuntu side have Qt sessions.

True but there is some wiggle room if the topic is aligned with enough Ubuntu interests.
Their community has much broader interest areas and much larger audience than Qt Contributors Summit.   Most sessions are breakout rooms with usually a group of people discussing a topic with an interactive audience of 15-50 and IRC questions too.  At past UDS we've  "trainings" in the form of live codings focused on an interest group (such as QML for designers) and demos that are discussions of the technology involved and how Ubuntu do something similarly. There is an expectation of some action items resulting from the event but this might just be follow up on detailed questions from Ubuntu devs.

This year we will probably try to do something on the Qt Media Hub BSD project because it could be of value to the Ubuntu TV efforts or maybe hook into Ubuntu one media stored objects.

I know that there is interest in the topic of how to create QML components on Qt5 for Ubuntu and properly do a Qt Creator target integration.   If KDAB could speak of their experience with the Blackberry porting efforts it would be a brilliant addition to a  breakout discussion on what a comprehensive Qt port for Ubuntu targets should look like.

Cheers,
Adam.
