>First if all – happy new year to all of you! 2008 will be a great year with lots of exiting Qt and KDE news. The biggest will probably be Qt 4.4 and KDE 4.0 – two milestones.<\/p>\n
For my part 2007 was the year when working with Qt became a reality. My book, the Foundations of Qt Development<\/a>, was printed, I visited DevDays, I started laying out slides for training based on the book, I had the opportunity to work within a Qt project as well as an adviser to a Qtopia project. All in all great fun!<\/p>\n 2007 was also a year when I ran out of time. This is a rather nasty experience – finding that you have more to do than you can do in 24h\/day. Reaching the conclusion that it isn’t you (or in this case me) but the amount of work is really hard – but having that revelation really helps. For example, I still have not posted any pictures from DevDays here. Luckily, I’ve had the chance to delegate things both workwise and in the community – but it is really though releasing a pet project and letting some one else in, but it is all for the better. In December ’06 I made the decision to step down as maintainer for SpeedCrunch<\/a> – and during 2007 Helder Correia has really turned up the development pace and revitalized this project. Great work!<\/p>\n So, for 2008, there are lots of exiting news. First of all, our family will have a new member, going from two to three. It will be very exiting. My employer, Bitsim<\/a>, will start demonstrating Qtopia with our own graphics controller. I will try to run a few Qt training sessions based on my book (interested? – contact me! my personal goal is three sessions next year). I will also try to blow some life into my mouse-gesture-recognition<\/a> package.<\/p>\n Let’s see what I actually can find time for. Some life-changing events are approaching, so it is really hard to say what the outcome will be – other than exiting and great fun. The sum of all this – I’m convinced 2008 will be a great year!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" >First if all – happy new year to all of you! 2008 will be a great year with lots of exiting Qt and KDE news.
