I know for myself I waited throughout the year for the discussion about QtCS to pop up, and monitored the traffic to know sooner then later what/when.

I'd like us to send it both to mailing lists and have it on the labs blogs and I will also tweet about it myself, we should aim to use @Nokia_Connects and the rest of the Twitter space related to qt and nokia to buzz about the event. About Visa considerations, perhaps we can just provide a generic visa letter to participants that require it and we confirmed are not "fake" ? To confirm that they'd have to outline their contributions to the project if not already approvers/ maintainers etc.. Come to think of it, when applying folks better link us to at least some of their work or blog posts etc if they are more into promotion and want to get involved. > > So the very practical questions still remain: > > - How can people start applying for the event registration? > Can someone apply to a DevNet group QtCS 2012 pending approval by a > moderator (e.g. me)? > Or we can set up and email address , I can even set up an email alias somewhere on my domain so people will send applications there if that's viable.

On my way to do so.. stay tuned, link coming. -Sivan _______________________________________________ Marketing mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing
