<\/div>\n
The last Saturday I attended FSCONS’09<\/a>. This turned out to be another great event (I’ve been there two years now). I met lots of interesting people and got faces to a couple of names who’s blogs I’ve been following for a while now.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
My plan for this year was to do two workshops – one on Qt for Embedded Linux (which I try to focus on), and one on the Qt SDK, trying to get people started. Both these sessions turned into something else – probably due to the unclearness of what a workshop is intended to be.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The Embedding Qt workshop<\/i> (slides<\/a>) had a great turn-up. The idea was to go through the configuration process of Qt\/X11, Qt\/embedded targetted at QVFb and then have a look at the configuration and deployment of Qt for an actual embedded target. Given a 90 minutes slot, I knew that compilation time was going to be an issue. When it turned out that only one attendee wanted to give it a try, this session turned into an ordinary talk (the one brave guy gave up after the Qt\/X11 build – thank you still!). However, the talk was great, lots of interesting questions and great feedback. I really enjoyed the interaction with the audience and at the end Knut Yrvin (an actual norwegian troll) showed up, adding even more facts to the discussion.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The Qt SDK workshop<\/i> (too few slides to share) also had a great turn-up. My plan was to get people to install the SDK and then show them the basics. I think that something like 5-10 people actually ran the installer, so that was a great success. The demo, however, could have needed some more planning from my side. I showed signals\/slots, some widgets and the concept of layouts. For that, I used 40 minutes of my 30 minutes slot, so there where loads of unaswered questions at the end (thanks for everybody coming up to me afterwards having a chat).<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
To summarize – my aim with workshops did not really work in this setting, however, the quality of the audience and the resulting discussions turned this into a great event for me. I hope that you liked it as well!<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
