Qt World Summit 2023
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Qt World Summit 2023 is happening November 28-29 in Berlin. Traditionally we've had a booth there, showcasing some KDE stuff.

The event tends to me more on the business than the tech side. Goals of attending would be:

  • Showing ourselves as a stakeholder in Qt towards the Qt Company
  • Connecting to Qt Engineers
  • Presenting some of our products (Frameworks, KWin, etc) towards potential enterprise users
  • Attracting potential sponsors

We would need to:

  • Contact Qt people soon to register our presence
  • Prepare something to show (i.e. KDE Software on devices)
  • Have 3-4 people onsite to present

@nicolasfella is giving a talk at the event about KDE's transition to Qt6

I very likely won't be able to attend due to my parents coming to visit on the same weekend, but I can help with the logistic.

I created this matrix room to coordinate this with the people I know they're coming, please join if you want to come. https://matrix.to/#/#kde-qtws-2023:kde.org

I know we have some tickets to attend, if you'd like to join feel free to reach out.

@aniqakhokhar do you know if we got a booth in the end?

I have messaged Pedro to confirm

@apol Pedro's reply "However, we cannot offer the "full booth", but rather a high table enough for a laptop to sit on.
And you could bring any swags, banner etc."

I have agreed
