Digesting the week so far

This week as been really intense. I visited DevDays 2007. Got a chance to meet lots of interesting people - some of which I've known on-line for years, other who where totally new acquaintances to me, and some that I've known and met before. I'm really glad that I got the opportunity I've to meet them all. All this resulted in a rather large pile of business cards on my desk that I will try to follow up in the next couple of weeks.

I received a lot of praise for my book, which feels great. The Trolls even had a copy in their help-desk :-) . The talks given where great - both the road map and management style talks and the in-depth technical details talk (Bradley even showed his favorite function - sendPostedEvents - in one of his talks). Since there are so many impressions from this event, I will try to collect my thoughts during the weekend and blog more about it next week (with photos included).

On the business side, my colleague Marcus, has been making progress on Bitsim's Qtopia based demo platform. Soon there will be accelerated Qtopia running on top of a live video stream.

Finally, a quick note. Trolltech has decided to replace their open source software collection to Qt-Apps.org. Hopefully, the result will be a bigger, more lively community site listing Qt applications. When discussing Qt-Apps.org I feel that it is equally important to mention Qt-Prop.org. A site collecting Qt-based proprietary applications. This is a part of the on-line Qt community that would benefit from more common resources and places for exchanging experiences. Funnily enough, quite a lot of the commercial developers I met at DevDays knew about and used QtCentre's resources. Great!
