Yep, I saw this. However much of the (QT) development |
| 8 |
and maintenance is from folks that receive a paycheck |
| 9 |
form Nokia. Now that MS is in the picture, I sure |
| 10 |
this burden will move to the Open Source Community, |
| 11 |
particularly the KDE devs. |

It's really nice when corporations at least partially |
| 15 |
support open source code. Adding QT to the KDE teams' |
| 16 |
responsibilities, is a burden. I have not read about |
| 17 |
legions of Nokia (former QT) developers happy to support |
| 18 |
QT without a paycheck......? |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Just a concern as I was hoping for a link to where the |
| 21 |
(ex) Nokia QT devs are speaking out and pledging to take |
| 22 |
AT forward.....? |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
All the above link sets forth is that there is a plausible, |
| 25 |
legal path forward, not a team, organization or leadership. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
After all, QT is very important to KDE and many other |
| 28 |
gui devices (industrial controls for example). Is Nokia |
| 29 |
pledging to keep moving QT forward? I read that MS owns |
| 30 |
quite a large amount of Nokia now, and that (CEO) Stephen |
| 31 |
is now Balmer's newest bitch.... That does not bode |
| 32 |
well for QT, KDE or open source efforts, imho. |
