Great! What are the steps in practice and how can someone get involved? Having one and only landing page would be useful.

Any URL, tweet or something that we can promote out there? I went through http://www.blackberrydevcon.com/europe and after searching a lot I found an "unscheduled" 1h session by Lars Knoll introducing Qt. It showed up after a search in a pop-up window, so there is no URL to link to here. In any case I have added the event to the Qt Everywhere calendar: http://wiki.qt-project.org/Events If you have more details I'm happy adding them. Most of the developers potentially interested in this are probably not following a marketing list. Again, having a page where all this information and links could be found would be extremely useful.

What are the steps in practice and how can someone get involved? Currently things are just getting started. If you have a playbook try Qt out on it and give feedback. Review the code in their repo. Give feedback on tooling. Attend their DevCon and engage their platform with your Qt skills. Volunteer to document, blog or demo what you've done with Qt on the playbook for qt-project.org. > >Having one and only landing page would be useful. I remember trying to >search for information on this QNX port only to find different places >scattered. Well there are actually 2 different ports, the QNX port maintained by Digia which I call the 'commercial port' is pretty much integrated with qt-project already. The QNX port for RIM devices is a different codebase in its own repo. (It uses QPA for example). RIM will use some of the Qt Libs and the QML language for its Cascades UI but I don¹t know how aggressively they will push Qt itself. If we want a landing page to make sense of it all for Qt devs hoping to target the RIM platforms we may have to populate one ourselves initially. > >> I am coordinating a Qt keynote and training at the Blackberry DevCon in >>Amsterdam in February >> http://www.blackberrydevcon.com/ as well as doing outreach to their >>developers at Mobile World Congress. >> They are offering discounts to these events to Qt-Project community. >> >> The Qt Developer Experience team will also be showing off Qt on the >>current playbook at the >> Qt booth at CES and MWC. > >Any URL, tweet or something that we can promote out there?

Turns out it's right across the street from our offices too :) I've directly submitted a talk proposal related to Qt. It's not explicitely about Qt5 and the Raspberry Pi, but more aimed at demonstrating how Qt and Qt Creator can be used to ease development for Embedded Linux targets in general (including deployment, remote debugging, etc.). I was planning on demoing a small Qt Quick app, and using an ARM tablet for the target device, but I'd be willing to use a Raspberry PI instead, if I can get my hands on one in time ;) Also, we're not planning to have a booth there, but if Nokia is planning one then we're interested in joining. Otherwise I will probably just go as an attendant. I definitely think it's a good spot for Qt marketing at least. Happy New Year 2012!

The topic you are proposing is interesting. Anybody else? ICS showed interest too. I believe the ELC audience will be interested in the graphics performance in mobile / embedded hardware, Qt Quick 2.0, the 3D stuff... > Also, we're not planning to have a booth there, but if Nokia is planning one > then we're interested in joining.

Donald, Rajiv and me will arrive on Friday afternoon to check the space and the basics e.g. whether the Raspberry Pi still boots and like the monitor. ;) No need to get to Hilton LAX just for this. Saturday 9am would be nice.

Not really. We are doing something new here (combining Qt - Nokia employees with volunteers) and we will learn a lot during the weekend. In any case we will organize shifts in a way that there is always one Qt team member around. In any case there is always the possibility to tell people to come later, send your question to etc. Happens in any booth. > From http://wiki.qt-project.org/Events/SCALE : > ............ > Blackberry Playbook. > HTC Evo 4G. > Nokia N9 with Qt 5 running. > Raspberry Pi with QtonPi + monitor + keyboard. > Roku player + monitor + remote. > ......... > > Expected questions for each of the different devices/platforms > --> What version of Qt or SDK can I do this with?

One thing to explain are the overall plans of RIM / BBX / QNX on Qt. Another thing is what a Qt developer can do with it, today. Same for the Necessitas project. I agree that having wiki pages summarizing these answers and providing links to more info could be useful. Perhaps this is something that we can link / create as we go during the weekend? > Is "qt in use" ( http://qt.nokia.com/qt-in-use/story/device/roku/ ) > the purpose of "Roku player + monitor + remote" or is there a way for > developers to put their Qt-based apps on Roku devices? I'm proposing to bring it because it's a device that a nice % of attendees will be aware of, or familiar with, probably not knowing that is powered by Qt. We can do also a quick round through other stands and ask about Qt usage.

Let's start with the key events with a focus on mobile, embedded & desktop development. Many OSS events have a focus (explicit or not) on server or end users, where Qt as such doesn't have that strong role. --Quim From cybette at gmail.com Sat Jan 21 03:27:11 2012 From: cybette at gmail.com (Carol Chen) Date: Sat, 21 Jan 2012 04:27:11 +0200 Subject: [Marketing] RTECC Santa Clara In-Reply-To: <4F1865B4.8070105@nokia.com> References: <1341140.1SORLB3ysf@romain-xpsm1330> <2127279623E71243B624ABEC3C224C0504332D@IT-EXMB01-HKI.it.local> <4F1865B4.8070105@nokia.com> Message-ID: On Thu, Jan 19, 2012 at 8:49 PM, Quim Gil wrote: > Hi Kathy, nice to see you here. :) > > On 01/19/2012 08:33 AM, ext Barrios Katherine wrote: > > HI, > > > > Digia, Qt Commercial had a very well received preso and booth at > > RTECC Santa Clara on Tuesday.

Daniel Molkentin and me welcome volunteers! There two priorities: REGISTRATION We are planning for a maximum of 225 participants. This should be enough to cover maintainers and approvers. We will need to look at the non-committers cases one by one. Who wants to be in the filtering? About how to sign up, a wiki page should suffice. Workflow: 1 You are interested. 2. You sign up in a wiki page filling some basic fields (Name; link to profile; Maintainer / Approver / Other; Module / Area... anything else?). 3. Someone reviews. Accepted are moved to non-editable Accepted page. The rest are in waiting list. PROGRAM This is mostly an unconference. However we need to make sure the top priority topics are addressed by the right people. A way to do this is to leave the main room for scheduled sessions. We are aiming to have streaming & video recording of the sessions in this room. Lars, Marius and the rest of maintainers should agree on the schedule of this room. Who chases them? Ok, not so urgent unless someone there requires travel sponsorship, or anything requiring budget. Also related: we need to decide how many rooms we are going to use and the equipment needed. This also affects the budget. fwiw: ORGANIZATION So far it's Daniel Molkentin and me. Daniel is the local contact and he also has to make sure we are happy about the critical point: wifi. Quim is making sure the basics are in place: funding, venue, equipment, food. There is a lot to do and we welcome help. If you are interested step in and tell us what area interests you more. All the better if you are not working at Nokia. :) About the budget: Nokia is sponsoring with a decent amount to secure the event. Other sponsors funds are welcome to split costs. I can tell you in advance that, when it comes to events, I'm a friend of utilitarianism and austerity even without global crisis. -- Quim From sivan at omniqueue.com Tue Jan 31 12:13:10 2012 From: sivan at omniqueue.com (Sivan Greenberg) Date: Tue, 31 Jan 2012 13:13:10 +0200 Subject: [Marketing] some form of sponsorship for full time volunteers coming from outside of the EU Message-ID: Hi All, Really great news having the Qt Summit confirmed.

I have just only found one [1] after a quick search, but it is written in C++. The UI, in the current form, is not really usable for mobile. :) There is also another one [2], originally made for the MeeGo Summit in Finland, but I guess that one would also need some porting.

Yes, first we want to know what budget is available after covering the expenses. This is why we need to define what are these expenses and also find out who wants to sponsor the event in addition to Nokia. > I was wondering still, since I would have to come from outside the EU, > if offering my help as a *full time* volunteer for the event > organization - could perhaps entail one to some form of sponsorship ? First things first. Before agreeing on the criteria for sponsorship we need to agree on the criteria for participants. I have drafted a proposal at http://wiki.qt-project.org/Events/Qt_Contributors_Summit and I will start a new thread. We also need to agree on the work needed and the team that will address that work. > Last year's event proved instrumental for helping me get started and > shape my idea of CrowdQuick , while ever since I got more and more > interested in Qt's documentation.

It would be nice to see a list of the activities where the help is welcome, thus the people could evaluate which area to help with. There was a similar concept for the Desktop Summit [1], and I liked how it became better organized.

Of special note is the source, an investment site "Motley Fool" : http://beta.fool.com/seasonedgeek/2012/01/30/nokia-app-developers-choice/1475/ "Nokia - The App Developer’s Choice" .................................... The other thing it appears the investing world missed was Nokia’s purchase of Trolltech in 2008. http://www.businessweek.com/globalbiz/content/jan2008/gb20080128_783831.htm Let me tell you as both a developer with over twenty years in IT and a technical author with two books written on the Qt cross platform application development framework, Qt really is the Holy Grail. The first books I ever wrote in IT were on ZAF (Zinc Application Framework) during the days of DOS and C++. At the time, Zinc was the best of a bad situation and the only framework to support DOS, Windows, OS/2, and MAC from the same set of source. Many other products have come to the cross-platform table professing to bring with them a Utopian feast only to leave developers hungry and heart-broken. Java, in particular, spouting its “Write Once Run Anywhere” slogan, ended up giving us a “Write Once, run if they have the exact same JVM on the exact same operating system with the exact same memory and the exact same security, otherwise, you’re on your own.” Then we had Microsoft foist .Net on the world. Write once and run on any machine that happened to be running that exact version of Windows with the same level of .Net framework updates applied, otherwise, best of luck to ya. In truth, much of the geek world browbeat Microsoft about the fact their “Web technology” was NOT cross-platform, which led to the growth of Mono. But Mono has the same pitfall as .Net -- t requires a LOT of stuff already be loaded on the target platform before it will run. I have no idea what those marvelous gentlemen imbibed at Trolltech to come up with “Signals and Slots,” but that design strategy has officially delivered Utopia. Thanks to its OpenSource versions for KDE development and regular application prototyping, this framework has expanded to meet all needs and is now being made available to all modern development languages. App developers can now write one set of source code and compile for every handheld device out there. These same developers can also develop desktop and enterprise-level applications with the exact same tool set. You can do any amount of personal education and OpenSource development you want with Qt, but, when your company decides a product should be sold, you have to buy the licenses and support. This is a far cry from the days of DOS when Microsoft charged you $500 for a compiler and someone else charged you another $400 for a database library and somebody else charged you another $450 for a screen library, all before you had written your first line of code. The other portion of this Utopia is the fact your App is natively compiled and statically linked. You get the snap and speed of a pure executable (which cannot be matched by an interpreter no matter what Java developers claim), and the security of knowing it contained everything it needed. Absolute zero support issues from Apps needing conflicting and incompatible versions of virtual machines and/or shared libraries. Qt doesn’t care what OS or device. App developers no longer care what OS or device. Contract postings for Qt consultants with handheld experience routinely offer around $140/hour as billing rates. The days of one-trick-pony tool sets are over and Nokia owns the Holy Grail. Once the Microsoft money and contract run out, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Nokia build a tablet or smart phone and let you choose what OS it should have on it at time of purchase. Most of the App vendors will be right there behind them. Times like this happen at most twice in a life time. Sit back and really appreciate the moment. This is a company that had a really long view. Quite possibly the last publicly traded company left that has bothered to look beyond the end of next quarter. All of the stories were public in the geek world, but how many of you actually sorted it out?. ..................................... -- Niels http://nielsmayer.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
