Tale of a little pixel

New job

A new quite interesting chapter of my life is started since quite some time, I didn't want to say too much about it until everything was settled down and up to speed. But now i guess the time has come, let me introduce my new employer, a pretty familiar and constant presence in the KDE development:

Thanks to the generous support of those people, these days known as Qt Development Frameworks (and the mother company Nokia of course), I'll be sponsored to work full time on KDE, in particular on the Plasma libraries and shells, especially the Plasma netbook project, that is taking up shape quite nicely. Plus there will be another quite cool Qt-related project

I will remain based here in Italy, but especially starting from next year perhaps it would be more probable to see me wandering around conferences around the world, we'll see :)

What i can say: Qt Development Frameworks (or: our little old dear trolls) rocks!

Complimenti

Tanti tanti complimenti! In bocca al lupo per la tua nuova esperienza. A presto!

@limaCAT: eeeh, difficile, certe cose stanno molto bene morte e sepolte :p
anche se in Qt rimrrebbe un tantino più carino che in Turbo Pascal :)

Wonderful news!

Congratulations, Marco!

It is great to see you, another highly skilled, visionary and enthusiastic KDE hacker, are hired to work on KDE. Sponsoring KDE developers is one of the best things companies can do. :P And the collaboration between Nokia, KO GmbH, Kolab, etc. does seem to pay off, too. So many fruits about to ripen... everyone is pofiting. :)

Cheers to you!

Sorry

Sorry about the second posting but there was an error message. Still something wrong with the migration?

Congratulations

That's really nice for you! Congratulation. Am I right that you aren't allowed to talk about the "another quite cool Qt-related project" ;-)?

Re:

first of all thanks to everybody.
@kedadi: no, there is nothing planned in that sense and anyways, I don't know more than anybody else about plans like that.

congratulations

Congratulations Marco!

Does this mean that plasma-netbook (or something like that) is going to be the default shell for Maemo 6?
