|Content Creator
|Bryan Cairns (aka Voidrealms) is a Qt Champion for many. His latest courses on [https://www.udemy.com/user/bryan-cairns Udemy] serve as a one-stop resource to not just get started but writing efficient code using Qt C++, QML, and Qt Widgets. 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 [https://www.udemy.com/course/qt-5-design-patterns "Qt5 Design Patterns"]. Additionally, Bryan administers a unique community of supportive developers on [https://www.facebook.com/groups/1400884323467285 Facebook]. 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.
- Working on the popularization of Qt framework on SM like LinkedIn
 
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.

In 2020 he submitted 192 [https://codereview.qt-project.org/q/owner:kuzulis+after:2020-01-01 high quality patches] to Qbs and 64 to Qt Creator. That involved support for IAR, Keil, SDCC compiler toolchains, as well as debugger back-ends for KEIL µVision and J-Link. Thanks to him, the combination of Qt Creator and Qbs has become more attractive than ever to bare metal developers.
 
But that was apparently not enough for him. Within a couple of weeks, he created a [https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=qbs-community.qbs-tools Visual Studio Code extension for Qbs] and brought it into the store.

As if that wasn't enough, he also helps out on the Qbs project from time to time.<br />Therefore, even though he works for the Qt Company and full-time on Qt Creator, he does a far above average job and deserves the title to the highest degree.

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
