Some measurable facts beyond personal impressions: New Qt SDK release today. Currently there is ongoing work for 3 Qt releases (4.7, 4.8 and 5). As I'm writing this email, the 25 last contributions to http://qt.gitorious.org/ have been done in the last 3 hours (if you check during European office hours you might get all 25 committed in the last minute). 41 positions open today at http://nokia.taleo.net/careersection/10120/jobsearch.ftl containing "Qt" in the "Research and development" section. There are more in other areas. Qt at the center point of the N9 and Symbian releases, and also announced as part of the "next billion" strategy of Nokia. Plus all the details provided by Knut. Plus http://blog.qt.nokia.com/2011/09/12/qt-project/ and the links in that blog post. Conclusion: Nokia is pushing Qt probably as fast as a complex collection of software pieces can be pushed reliably (remember Qt Quick a year ago? Have you checked the aggressive schedule for Qt 5?). A core mission of the Qt Project (with open governance et al) is to bring this development further and wider thanks to the inclusion of other companies, individuals and organizations. Qt was here before Nokia, Intel etc got interested in it. It has a solid foundation and a plan forward publicly available. It's an excellent open source technology and will be available to anybody regardless of the decisions made by the Tizen project. All the better if Qt can contribute to the success of Tizen, of course. -- Quim _______________________________________________ MeeGo-community mailing list MeeGo-community@meego.com http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-community http://wiki.meego.com/Mailing_list_guidelines
