Hi Tuukka,
thank you for answering here. But isn't there something missing in your
email?
What I have read about this:
--> KDAB says, they "have temporarily withdrawn our contributions until
senior management at The Qt Company makes it clear that they genuinely
wish to treat the Qt Project as an Open Governance project and that
external contributions are welcomed and valued."
--> You say that KDAB contributed much work and that you: "[...] hope to
have KDAB back contributing", but you also state, that they are not
exactly much-needed: "Everything continues just as before."
What you **don't** say is, that you "genuinely wish to treat the Qt
Project as an Open Governance project and that external contributions
are welcomed and valued."
There must be a reason not to write this sentence. There is probably
much more to this and some serious stuff going on behind the scenes. Not
all of it might be conveyable publicly, I understand that, but I want to
second Christians appeal to at least clarify the outline of the apparent
conflict from your side.
For example:
- In your eyes: is Qt currently still being treated as an Open
Governance project by the Qt company?
- If yes: will it continue to be treated this way or are there plans to
change that?
Sorry if my questions seem uninformed - they actually are.
Thanks to all of you guys for working together on this wonderful
software eco system. Please don't let good collaboration deteriorate by
lack of communication.
Best Regards,
Sebastian

Hi Christian,
KDAB is a valuable contributor to the Qt project. The biggest one, if not
counting The Qt Company. According to Qt project statistics, KDAB’s
contributions are about 15% or all commits to Qt:

We all of course hope to have KDAB back contributing, but there is no need to
be worried about the future of Qt. Everything continues just as before. Also Qt
3D continues to be a fully supported module of Qt.
Yours,
Tuukka

It's not just Qt3d, KDAB is a big contributor and there are many other
contributors involved.
It would be really nice to have a quick status about this issue.
I do think that the lack of transparency is not good for Qt's own
reputation (The Qt Project and the Qt Company).
Chris
