Nokia Qt Developer Days: from the show floor

,----[ Quote ]
| After 36 hours of developer âshow-submersionâ 
| I think I have a pretty good idea of how the 
| Nokia X-factor is playing out in the Qt cross-
| platform world. There are very few blue Nokia 
| logos around and everyone is wearing Qt green. 
| The companyâs staff are even still calling 
| themselves âtrollsâ in reverence to their 
| former incarnation under the Trolltech brand.

How Nokia Learned to Love Openness

,----[ Quote ]
| Another reason the geeks in the crowd were
| getting so excited was that the keynote was
| given by Matthias Ettrich, who occupies an
| important place in the free software
| pantheon, since he started and led the KDE
| project in the beginning. When I
| interviewed him nearly ten years ago, he
| told me how the name came about.
|
| He said he wanted to create a Linux Desktop
| Environment (LDE) without calling it that;
| he couldn't call it MDE, since that would
| look like Matthias' Desktop Environment, so
| he choose the suitably neutral K Desktop
| Environment.
