A big +1 to Gabriel for styles maintenance. The poor man has been doing a great job keeping his sanity while suffering through all those QMacStyle fixes lately... :) > On Jul 7, 2017, at 4:03 AM, Frederik Gladhorn wrote: > > Hello all, hello Marc, > > First of all, thank you very much for tak

Re: [Development] Widgets maintainers

Thanks Frederik! A short introduction to myself: My name is Richard, I started at Trolltech in 2006, which means that I've been working with Qt for more than ten years. Most of that time I've been looking into issues on macOS, but after the Nokia era, I became a part of the team implementing and

Hello all, hello Marc, First of all, thank you very much for taking care of the widgets module and working to get bugs under control. We've been talking inside The Qt Company about the widgets module a lot lately, since we do see it as a very important part of Qt, which doesn't receive as much

Hi all, KDAB is handing back widgets maintenance, which means that I'm stepping down as widgets maintainer. The focus of KDAB contributions to Qt is clearly elsewhere these days (Qt3D, Core, tooling), and the module deserves more focus than it has seen lately. To this end, Lars has assembled
