Hi I'm Dio, I'm a Qt developer living in Indonesia. Hi I'm Dio, I'm a Qt developer living in Bandung, Indonesia.
Some backgrounds, Here in this country, the spread of Qt is being enforced by (developer) managers at Nokia Indonesia. We had several times of Qt Developer Days; but it turns out just like a Nokia Marketing events rather than Qt itself. The best part of that program maybe the effort to have formal curriculum which involves Qt in Universities. The effort is now running as secondary stream since the burst of Silverlight and WP7 ; Microsoft has good connection with developers in here, in fact the Developer Manager at Nokia Indonesia was a Community Manager for Microsoft Users/Developers Group. About meetups, it would be the best if we could actually measure the current level of Qt adoption. I don't think I have access to that data in here in Indonesia. It will be hard to get started, since Qt very close to C++ which is scary for most of developers. (yes there is QML, we're working on it!) Some efforts, I have tried to make small mentoring session at some high-schools and universities. We have small groups, working on simple apps development and try to submit it to Nokia Store to get the real excitement. The key is, the excitement and real benefits. Qt 5 and Raspberry Pi could be something attractive for academic hackers ; but we need real bridge to let them see the real "thing" that they can actually build with these awesome tools. Given more than 200 millions people living in this country we have a lot of potential though. Enough for the intro, I have read the http://wiki.meego.com/Local_MeeGo_Networks hopefully we could have on in Indonesia, a simple meetup with better (developer) ambience rather than Nokia marketing nuance. Looking forward to more coherence discussion :-) Best,
