Hi Vim, So far, Intel hasn't shown much public interest towards Python/PySide, at least any that I would know of. Of course, it would be great if they had interest in contributing to PySide! One important clarification, however: Personally, I don't want any single company to "take over". I believe it's vital for the project's future success that it works in the future as a proper multilateral open-source project where any individual or company can participate on equal terms (given sufficient skill-set, of course). This prevents dependence on any single party, which, I believe, is also in the interest of the PySide users and the projects as a whole. Naturally, this shouldn't prevent any single company providing the majority of new contributions, but the project leadership and organization should be opened so that PySide wouldn't be primarily an "in-house" project any longer. Cheers, ma.
