A few weeks ago, the LinuxTag 2009 took place in Berlin. Of course some of us Trolls went there to present Qt. We ran a little booth where we had the possibility to talk to many Qt users (and future Qt users).
But that was not all. Some Trolls gave talks about very interesting topics. And because on that day I found my camera somewhere in my pocket, it made sense to film some of the talks (three to be exact) and share them with those who were not able to travel to Berlin. Here we go -in chronological order-…
Creating Qt Creator
Free Software Development at Nokia, Qt Development Frameworks
Speaker: Matthias Ettrich
“Nokia Qt Development Frameworks - the former Trolltech - announced earlier this year that they will open up their software development process and establish a new contribution model. One pillar of this change is a more permissive licensing under the terms of the GNU LGPL. In addition, Qt source code repositories will be made publicly available and contributions from desktop and embedded developer communities will be encouraged.” more…
New user interface paradigms on mobile devices
Speaker: Matthias Ettrich
“Today’s mobile devices have large high-resolution screens, touch input and significant graphics power. Applications on such devices no longer compete on features, but on graphical “wow”. It is not even unusual to hear people buying apps just because they have a cool UI.” more…
Advanced Graphics Programming with Qt
Speaker: Ariya Hidayat
“This talk highlights several key features of Qt graphics programming, including the low-level, immediate-mode painting system and 2D scene graph provided by Graphics View. To ensure a successful smooth and attractive user interface, this can be complemented by animation, Web engine, scripting, and graphics effects, which will be suitable discussed as well.” more…

hi, i really liked the screenshot composer demo but it is not in the dojo repository. is it possible to make it available?
Thanks for the videos, I usually cannot attend those events, so it’s nice watch them.
PS: I’m in shock. Am I seeing KDE’s founder using Gnome? Is the laptop with the KDE Sticker his?
@victor noagbodji: That’s “Screenie”. Ariya put it on http://screenie.googlecode.com/
Great stuff… Love Ariya presentation. It was mentioned by Ariya that the code is already available ! Can you please point us in the right direction?
@eric Most of the demos can be found in the Qt Labs repositories: http://qt.gitorious.org/qt-labs/ .”graphics-dojo” has most of the demos you saw in the talk. “wolfenqt” is the 3D-demo. Some of the demos are included in (the upcoming) Qt 4.6’s examples/demos.
Guys, why sound is so extremely bad? No good micro?
@Uku: You guessed it right, bad micro 
Actually, it was a spontaneous decision to record the talks. I did not have the direct audio from the micros which the Trolls used. So, the built-in micro of the camera had to pick up the sound from the room. That causes ambient noise and delay.
And if you don’t want to miss future Graphics Dojo demos, put http://bit.ly/graphicsdojo in your bookmarks!
