Hi, We have two weeks left for submitting new Goal proposals for the Qt Project. So far there are 7 proposals: https://qt-project.atlassian.net/issues/?filter=23976 There’s a template to help with making new goal proposals: https://qt-project.atlassian.net/browse/QTCS-31 Copy that ticket to create a new Goal, or copy/paste the Description blurb when using the form: https://qt-project.atlassian.net/jira/software/c/projects/QTCS/form/1003 Perhaps the template also helps with improving existing goals. Remember that a goal is supposed to span 2 years of work for several contributors, so it’s ok to think big! It’s of course already now allowed to comment on existing proposals, and to put your name down or tell the Goal creator/owner that you would like to contribute to that particular idea.
