Opensourcedays 2012

I've just signed up for opensourcedays 2012 which is held this weekend.

I'm especially looking forward to the talks about Qt and KDE.

Maybe I'll see you there?

Nokia Rules!

There's a conference in the southern part of Sweden (Malmoe) called Oredev which I have been attending this week. I was interested in a talk about MeeGo, meet some Nokia people and to attend a two days Qt course.

Nokia had a booth and I was passing by to check out if they had some Qt stickers which I needed for a demonstration (a simple QML app) I was going to show at my employers booth. To my disappointment they had no stickers but instead I had a great chat with one of guys.

We had an interesting and giving chat about Qt, apps, OviStore, Nokia and MeeGo. Suddenly the guy grabs a package and hands it to me, to my surprise I just realized that he gave me a Nokia N8! He smiled at me and told me to make my app available on OviStore.

Now finally Nokia has given me the opportunity to develop apps for mobile devices since I can use Qt (I already made an app w/o owning a device).

I can't wait for MeeGo devices to show up.

Thanks Nokia!

Qt DevDays 2010

I'm attending Qt DevDays 2010 and really looking forward to it.

I haven't decided yet which tracks I'll attend, there are so many interesting but I definitely go for some Quick-talks. I believe I'll have a great time.

And that's not all, in November I'll also attend a two day Mobile Qt course at Öredev with topics such as Qt Mobility API, Gesture framework, Hybrid JavaScript apps and last but not least Quick. Looks very promising.

ELCE 2009 presentations

The presentations from ELCE 2009 are now available from here. Some of the presentations have not been posted yet.

Back home from ELCE 2009

It has been a great visit to Grenoble. I'm pleased with the conference because most of the sessions were held by developers, which I prefer, and not marketing people. The major focus seemed to be on build systems and reducing boot time. I learned a lot about tools which can give you hints on performance issues etc. Some celebrities also showed up like Jon Masters and Alessandro Rubini.

I assume that the slides from the sessions will be available on the home page so you can take a look at them yourself.

Adeneo had a cool demo of booting up a Linux system with a Qt-app doing 3D (software rendering) in less than 5 seconds. Unfortunately I can't give you a clip since the new blogger editor doesn't support movie clips, or am I wrong?. A picture will do.

The conference had only a little exhibiton hall (which was ok for me) and here's a picture of Free Electrons' booth.

The food was a success! A lot of different finger food and of course wine. Here's an example of what the dessert looked like the second day.

The restroom has a really cool designed washbasin.

As I mentioned before I'm pleased with the conference and I believe I'll attend again next year.

I'm going to ELCE 2009

I'll be visiting the Embedded LInux Conference Europe 2009 which is held in Grenoble, France. It's a two day conference, 15-16 October. I'm looking forward to attend the sessions about build systems and other cool low-level kernel stuff.

Hope I'll meet some interesting people.
