Great! What are the steps in practice and how can someone get involved?

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.

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. I have started promoting the link to your post in the mailing list archive. Not the most appealing landing page but at least it's something.  :)

I guess everybody wants to see this happening with big success, but it is unclear what is needed and where to go.
