Dear developers, DebConf sponsorship team is looking after Qt at Nokia Community Sponsorship [1], for such purpose a project template has been filed in at their wiki site [2]. I would like to ping you, as you might know better facts than I do when that comes to Qt/KDE on Debian distribution. On the project template [2], there is need to fill in ''Interesting community facts'', would you like to share any? Please update the wiki page or let me know what you think are interesting community facts so I can forward them to our DebConf wiki page at Qt at Nokia site. It is also interesting to know if Debian or individuals part of Debian are part of the Qt Ambassador Program [3], that information would be interesting to add to the wiki page. If Debian is not part of that program, why not and could Debian be part of it? Best regards, -- ?H?ctor Or?n ?-.. . -... .. .- -. ? -.. . ...- . .-.. --- .--. . .-.

Summit, an invitation only summit, to discuss about Qt future and the Open Governance. Also, I would like to update "Amount of support required" section: instead of linking to Debconf sponsorship, put the facts directly, including sponsorship level.> ?It is also interesting to know if Debian or individuals part of > Debian are part of the > Qt Ambassador Program [3], that information would be interesting to > add to the wiki page. > If Debian is not part of that program, why not and could Debian be part of it?As far as I know, we aren''t part of the Qt Ambassador Program (Debian or individuals). The 1st step will be to fulfill the mandatory requirement: public projects that we can show in our Qt Ambassador showcase. For example, running Qt on Debian isn''t sufficient. Cheers, Fathi

Debian Qt/KDE team doesn''t do much actual coding of nice apps, so I''m not sure we have anything (nor will have much in the future) to show off. We have: - now abandoned graphical migration helper for kde3 settings - a update notifier thingie - qt debconf frontend (using 3rd party qtperl bindings) and none of it is really interesting showcases. /Sune -- Do you know how to boot the computer? From Photoshop 6.2 or from the control file inside Office 5.3.3 you can''t unmount a mousepad but from the panel menu within Office XP you neither should rename the graphic BIOS driver on a CD system of the mailer to a RW mouse to a display over the program over a connector of the laser cache, nor have to enable the application to cancel a bus.
