[Marketing] [aKademy] Fwd: Present and Future of Qt Project & Qt 5

[Quim Gil]

FYI - let's discuss after the alpha release.

With all the busy-ness these days we had basically missed to file a 
proposal for the aKademy call for papers. I have just sent a placeholder 
proposal to the program committee to let them know (officially) the 
willingness of the Qt Project in having a session.

We need to find the speakers. Lars can't make it to aKademy. Thiago? 
Marius? Others? fwiw I will be there too.

I personally liked those sessions did by the Lars-Thiago-Marius troika. 
With a bit of spice they could actually make a nice keynote.

> Name of the speaker(s) and a short bio paragraph

This is a placeholder. It will be a Qt Project lead e.g. Thiago Macieira 
+ Marius Storm-Olsen. Sadly Lars Knoll can't make it. Please let us a 
hew more days to decide.


  > Title of the talk

Present and Future of Qt Project & Qt 5

Title may vary, but this is the idea.


> One-paragraph description (~60 words)

The Qt Project and its open governance approaches its first annual
cycle. Qt 5 is (planned to be) out and fresh. For the first time other
stakeholders out of Trolltech/Nokia have been able to contribute
directly and get involved in project roles. In fact KDE is explicitely
one of the main players now. Time for reviewing the experience with the
KDE community and take notes for the future steps.


> Abstract (~250 words)

Later, sorry.


> Length (5, 30 or 45 minutes)

30 or 45, as you see it fit. We believe the content and interest makes
it a good keynote.


> Picture of the speaker(s)

Later, sorry.


> Any special requirements (e.g., special video connectors, audio
support, cameras)

Later but we will tell you well in advance. It might depend on the
willingness of having live demos from e.g. a Raspberry Pi.
