Hi Andrea, All the best for your new position! > I noticed that you downloaded the trial version of Qt last year and > Iwas wondering whether the evaluation went well. > > It would be helpful to understand why you were evaluating Qt, and > learn more about what type of application you are developing. I downloaded your evaluation version of Qt to see how different it is from the open source one. I am especially interested in embedded and industrial application and as such I was curious about your "Boot to Qt" technology. I was not really surprised to discover that your proprietary "Boot to Qt" technology is based on the open-source Yocto project [1], and I think that instead of keeping this technology closed, you should be the official maintainer of the Qt5 Yocto layer (lot of work is needed there, and you have handles in-house), I think you should contact the Linux Foundation [2], they will be glad to see you being a major actor in the open-source embedded Linux world. > Furthermore is there anything that Digia–Qt can help you with? Definitely yes: please open up your open source based commercial/proprietary boot to Qt technology. I am not asking that because I am an open-source fanatic, I am asking that because this is the only reliable and efficient way to get Qt massively adopted on the embedded/industrial Linux market, I think that Digia should be a (publicly visible) key actor in this sector. Maybe one day you will be able to replace your "Code once, run everywhere" with "Code once, run everywhere, without pain!". Getting Qt5 + Yocto + OpenGL-ES running across different ARM SoCs is a real pain. Best regards, Chris PS: No disrespect to you, Digia, Nokia, TrollTech and all the Qt trolls, hat off and thumb up to all you guys! I am just tired to see a beautiful open-source SW community being permanently fooled by professional closed-source HW company. Please don't be part of this masquerade! PS2: I've CC'ed the Qt developer mailing list (public archived available [3]), hoping this could be useful to someone, somehow, someday.
