Can we convince people to do modularization and clean up for KDE?


- modularization is great
Get a foot into the door: go for qt creator


Rekonq is interesting because it is a real world demo using qt webkit.
Can we put cmake projects into qt creator? Make it possible to create KDE applications by default.


Git is a bonus
What about QML designer

Qt KDE relations

Us and Them

We need mutual respect. Lots of personal ties, but always changing. Core people should act as role models for community and users.

Technical collaboration

KDE as space for innovation - less strict, gets feedback, gets real app exposure, more than a Qt labs project

Qt is cross platform, KDE is not there yet. Qt standards like unit tests, API review, continuous integration are or would also be good KDE standards.

3rd party libraries independent Qt libraries Libraries for Qt developers that are not part of Qt

- system how to get libraries ?!? ruby gems, cpan

How do we handle improved KDE stuff that goes into Qt but has a different api?

What is attractive for Qt in KDE

  • App developers
  • KDE is still a great public showcase and large resource of openly available Qt application code.
  • KDE is an early adopter, commercial customers are way behind.
  • KDE is a good pool for people.
  • KDE wants to contribute to Qt.
  • KDE cares about Qt. High quality feedback and contributions.
  • Example for successful library: QJson
  • Rekonq is interesting because it is a real world demo using qt webkit.
  • Git is a bonus

Open Governance

Can we convince people to do modularization and clean up for KDE?

Get a foot into the door: go for qt creator

Can we put cmake projects into qt creator? Make it possible to create KDE applications by default.

What about QML designer
