 - we have at least one certified Qt developer amongst us. (although I won't 
be at desktop summit)

Yep. Debian Qt/KDE team doesn't do much actual coding of nice apps, so I'm not 
sure we have anything (nor will have much in the future) to show off.

We have:
 - now abandoned graphical migration helper for kde3 settings
 - a update notifier thingie 
 - qt debconf frontend (using 3rd party qtperl bindings)

and none of it is really interesting showcases.

Some facts:
- Debian Qt/KDE maintainers are involved upstream by providing patches
and support for non-popular architectures.
- Our work is the base for a popular Linux distribution (namely
Ubuntu) and benefit to a larger community than Debian itself.
- We're working actively to provide the best Qt support on ARM
architecture (see the work done on armhf; involving Linaro, Ubuntu and
KDE)
- We'll be represented at the Qt Contributors’ Summit, an invitation
only summit, to discuss about Qt future and the Open Governance.

Also, I would like to update "Amount of support required" section:
instead of linking to Debconf sponsorship, put the facts directly,
including sponsorship level.

As far as I know, we aren't part of the Qt Ambassador Program (Debian
or individuals).
The 1st step will be to fulfill the mandatory requirement:
public projects that we can show in our Qt Ambassador showcase.
For example, running Qt on Debian isn't sufficient.

Cheers,

Fathi

Qt@Nokia Community Sponsorship

2011-06-14 Thread Hector Oron
Dear developers,

  DebConf sponsorship team is looking after Qt@Nokia Community Sponsorship [1],
for such purpose a project template has been filed in at their wiki site [2].

  I would like to ping you, as you might know better facts than I do
when that comes
to Qt/KDE on Debian distribution. On the project template [2], there
is need to fill in
'Interesting community facts', would you like to share any? Please
update the wiki page
or let me know what you think are interesting community facts so I can
forward them to
our DebConf wiki page at Qt@Nokia site.

  It is also interesting to know if Debian or individuals part of
Debian are part of the
Qt Ambassador Program [3], that information would be interesting to
add to the wiki page.
If Debian is not part of that program, why not and could Debian be part of it?

Best regards,
