Qt really Embedded, RTOS |

| John Layt | 1 | Improvements required to Printing, maintainership. | ||
| KDE Technology in Qt | John Layt(?) | 2(?) | Looking at what KDE code and technology can be integrated into Qt | This session will look at specific KDE code and frameworks which could be added to Qt, from small feature enhancement to existing classes (KUrl, KIcon, KLineEdit, etc), new functionality (KMimeType), and new add-on modules KJob). |
| Qt, Meego and AppUp | Sulamita Garcia, Monika Lischke | 1 | AppUp is open for Meego applications submission. Qt is the main technology supported for this, and we would like to talk to developers about the submissions, and also hear back their feedback. | We believe AppUp can be a great distribution channel for Qt applications, so let’s work together. |
|
Qt library archive [developer.qt.nokia.com] |
Cornelius Schumacher | 1 | Getting a better overview and more easy access to all the great Qt based libraries out there, especially also those done independently of the core Qt libraries. Having something like CPAN or Ruby gems would be great. Let’s discuss what we can do here. | We discussed this topic at the KDE Platform sprint and collected some input and ideas. |
| The future of Qt and DirectFB | Denis Oliver Kropp and Andreas Shimokawa | 1 | We’d like to demonstrate the latest developments regarding Qt/DirectFB and talk about the future of this symbiosis | |
| PIM | John Layt (?) | 1 | A session for Qt Mobility and KDE PIM teams to meet and discuss common issues | Only if enough interest, may be better as an informal social meeting? Could also discuss issues around QDateTime and Time Zones. |
|
UX Feedback System – CrowdQuick [developer.qt.nokia.com] |
Sivan Greenberg | 1 | A session to discuss and write a functional specification for CrowdQuick | I would love influential Qt people to participate and help me start this. |
| QNetworkAccessManager more synchronous support? | Sivan Greenberg | 1 | importance of synchronous API in QNAM, who needs and why? | Informal, with room for some hands on hacking I’d think, and if either Peter Hartmann and/or Markus Goetz can participate – perfect! |
| QtQuick comprehensive teaching | Sivan Greenberg | 1 |
More comprehensive teaching of QtQuick, emphasis on more than just 2D and UX – A start: QtQuick for network access and web services consumption, maybe in par with http://tinyurl.com/3qtpphy |
Informal with action items extracted hopefully at finish. Needs Jürgen Bocklage-Ryannel |
| Drawing more community to QtQuick components contributions. | Sivan Greenberg | 1 | Brainstorm how to make it easier and attractive to get your name on Qt’s commit list without knowing too much C+ and make your CV shine! |
I’d like to use the fact QtQuick components use QML/Javascript to attract new developer contributors to Qt , perhaps as a more code oriented approach to http://tinyurl.com/5uqqeds |
