There is minimal material available on the Internet, especially for design patterns, and Bryan has done a superb job by creating a super useful course on "Qt5 Design Patterns" (<nowiki>https://www.udemy.com/course/qt-5-design-patterns/</nowiki>). Additionally, Bryan administers a unique community of supportive developers on Facebook (<nowiki>https://www.facebook.com/groups/1400884323467285/</nowiki>). Never have I ever found a community so helpful and supportive of each other on a global scale.
 
 
The cherry on the cake is that Bryan provides most of his courses for free from time-to-time.
 
So, he deserves more recognition from the Global Qt community. And awarding him as a Qt Champion will be a step in the right direction.

This page will be used for nominations for the 2022 Qt Champions.

The Nomination Process

The nomination process is public. To nominate a community member, please fill in the table down below.

We’ll keep the nominations open until the 15th December 2022 and then ask the current Qt Lifetime Champions to evaluate the nominees.

Each category may or may not have a Qt Champion in a given year. The number of Qt Champions is limited. Being nominated does not automatically bring a title, but is a recognition in itself.

We know we have very talented Qt Champions out there, but please nominate a person for one category. You can nominate multiple people for a category, only Rookie of the year and Maverick are strictly limited to one Champion per year. You can nominate any member of the community, including yourself.

What is expected of a Qt Champion

A Qt Champion is there to show what the Qt Community is best at.

The Qt Champion is friendly and has shown active participation with the Qt project.

Limited time only

Once you are given the title of Qt Champion, you will hold the title for a year.

If you achieve the title for three years, you will be entitled for a lifetime title. If you are so committed to the project, you need to be recognised beyond a normal Qt Champion title.

But I get paid to do this! / What if we are a company?

Yes, some of us are paid to work on Qt by our employers. Mostly on the code base, but also testing, documentation and other essential work goes on in the project. Some of the people who do get paid to work on the project do so above and beyond the normal limits of their day jobs (coding all day and helping newcomers in their free time, for example). We need metrics to find these people and provide them with a Qt Champion title too.

Tools to help figure this out

To find the top non-Qt-company contributors in a repo:

git log --since=2021-01-01 | grep Author | grep -v qt.io | sort | uniq -c | sort -n
