Go to the water poor place, sit and watch the clouds start -2011QT Developer Conference

It was not until the moment I received the invitation from Nokia that I realized that the time of the year had passed.

On the December 3 of last year, the QT developer Conference was held at the Radegast Hotel in Chaoyang, Beijing, and this December 12, the QT developer Conference was held at the Sofitel Grand Hotel in Chaoyang Wanda, Beijing.

Water Poor Place

Nokia bad Times, QT also can be called Life hangs a gleam. At the annual meeting, the scale and effect are shrinking.

Last year, the main venue to allow thousands of people, the meeting not only has a large number of QT enthusiasts and a large number of people in the media sector, a lot of late friends to the aisle are full, is unprecedented;

This year, the main venue can only accommodate 200 or 300 people, the participants only have QT enthusiasts, the news media, a little bleak.

Last year, QT issued a roadmap, using a new licensing agreement, to propose "QT everywhere!" ；

This year, QT sold a business mandate to shrink the scope of the business.

Last year, the QT Technology Forum at home There are about 10, new forums are emerging;

This year, the QT Technology Forum only one or two are still in support, although still holding the position, but the number of online and posting continues to decline.

Last year, I met a number of publishing friends invited to write a book;

This year, I didn't see any friends in the publishing company.

Last year......

This......

......

Sometimes I feel very sad, the world is always cruel and sophisticated. Nokia and QT have fallen into the trough, is not already "line to the water poor", still not good to say, but I believe that as long as the stick down, eventually there will be "sitting looking at the clouds when" that day.

when the clouds rise

1. With Microsoft Alliance, create WP mobile phone, initial results, Nokia is expected to roll over;

2. Ovi stores grow steadily and promote Nokia's transformation;

3. QT Fixed customers more stable, not with the capital market and fluctuations;

4. Android Camp Live, the standard is not unified, plunged into the chaos of Java;

5. Apple, a company based on transcendental Innovation, has yet to look at the sustainability of its capabilities, and historically, it is not commercially logical and has huge risks.

three A worry

1. QT does not support Windows Phone, which is a big hit and psychological barrier for QT development and QT enthusiasts, and where market demand is.

2. The intention of the QT Sale Business authorization is not explained, and the follow up route is not clear, "What will Qt do later?" "And who can give us a saying.

3. Qt Existing library has ceased to develop, the old user how to do, the strength of support is not enough. New features such as Qt Quick, do not see the outstanding advanced nature, a few domestic users, give us a reason not to use Java script first.

a little regret

Originally is to participate in all the meetings, helpless temporary things, the 12th afternoon of technical training only heard half went away, number 13th is missing. Also lost with Ziliang and white and so on friends meet to chat the opportunity, regret. Come back next year.

no responsibility will be assessed

I like the organization of last year's Congress, can say is won my heart, hehe.

I look at the Radegast hotel, can be described as "deep beauty Hong San about": Like an empty Valley orchids, its beautiful hidden not obvious and unique charm. That's right on QT's temperament.

I look at the Sofitel Wanda Hotel, can be described as "Jing Yan Absolute Person": the first time like glimpse, but under scrutiny, although gorgeous, but slightly lost the look. Alas, it does not match with Qt.

I will stick to Qt, "go to the water poor place, sitting looking at the clouds," with you qt friends.
