I agree... and that's why I suggested doing the Maker's contest on Saturday evening after the tutorials, to allow people participating in those to chill out & build something together (a very wise man once said it is important to build teams by giving them early opportunities to succeed together (see Peopleware, by DeMarco and Lister). So a team competition to build something in a relatively short period of time should be both fun & useful. On Sunday afternoon, we're also running a geocache (if all goes well) - a kind of high-tech treasure hunt in Dublin 4 - for those who want to get out & about. Concerning the Qt intro specifically (but this applies to all tutorial & expert sessions): when & whether we have a session will depend on finding an instructor. For the Qt session, I have several leads - including an offer to do it on Sunday morning from a certified Qt trainer - so the agenda will doubtless move a bit between now & the conference. Speaking of that: we still don't have any volunteers for a "Getting started with MeeGo on ARM" tutorial, or a "Linux Developer Tools" tutorial. Anyone interested in giving a very hands-on tutorial introduction to git, gdb and valgrind on Saturday afternoon? Andrea, are you recruiting the experts for the various hands-on workshop sessions? I haven't spent any time at that at all.
