Hi all, First of all, I'm not a native english speaker/writer so, my apologies if it seems I'm ranting ( I can state I'm not ). It's only something stumblin in my mind that I want to share with you.
Today I've read an email in this list that links to this page : http://sprogram.com.ua/en/articles/qt-connect-to-oracle-as-sysdba This code seems to me a good candidate to add to Qt's Dabatase module. A simple and effective way to achieve its goal. Some time ago I did a similar request ( to merge some lines of code to enable SQLite extension load ) and only Thiago kindly answered me with another question. No other answer. :-( I'm having a huge workload and didn't have the time to contrib it to Qt 5.1 ( I have another little contribution for widgets, even being OK, that could not be accepted in time for Qt 5.0, and I don't know if I have to resubmit it or it will be cherry-picked in a near future, but that's another war... ). I accept that my contribution are quite small, but a lot of little contributions make a bigger one ! And the initial gap to contribute makes many of us think twice before spending the time to push our changes to Qt project. I suspect that I'm not the only one in this situation : people that uses Qt and have good knowledge of it and with good ideas/modifications that can benefit all the project. And we want to contribute it ! My question to the community is : it's worth the effort to contribute, if you're a "little one" like me ? I have serious doubts... I have to spend a lot of time to remember how the submit process goes. Yes, if you contribute once or twice in a year you forgot the not-so-simple commands for gerrit ;-) It's possible to, simplify that process ? I have no problem to sign a disclaimer like "I wrote that code, but I give all the rights to i.e. digia/Kdab/<write_here_your_company>" and then send my patches to someone in that company that evaluates them and pushes it to gerrit in behalf of me. I have No need for glory, I only want Qt become better and contribute with my 2 cents. It's possible to simply cede my code to someone that takes care of submit ? Thanks, Jordi. _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
