Trolls In The Air

by Alexandra Leisse on March 18, 2010

The beginning of March is always a remarkably nasty period in Oslo. It’s no longer really winter but spring hasn’t arrived either. The snow is melting and leaves a gray and sluggish mess on streets and sidewalks that tends to freeze over during the night only to melt again during the following day. So its no big surprise that the idea to escape to a sunnier and more enjoyable part of the world grew upon us.

And so we did.

Espen, Leo, Alexis, Marius and myself packed our bags and went en route towards Brazil — or more precisely Manaus in the middle of the Amazonas. We brought slidedecks and a flip cam along to make our bosses happy and exchanged down jackets with t-shirts. And bathing gear but that happened later.

Qt Labs Japan launched

by Aron Kozak on March 16, 2010

Qt Labs JapanFor those that have followed our various blogs know that if you are looking for the best technology and in-depth Qt-related content, Qt Labs is the best place to be. Of course one of the potential drawbacks is the fact that Labs is only available in English.

Well good news for our friends in Japan: We are pleased to announce that today we launched Qt Labs Japan.

Qt Labs Japan will contain both original content for the Japanese community, as well as include translations of some of the best and most popular Qt-related content.

The site will be run by our Japanese team, Asaki-san, Suzuki-san and Saso-san.

If you´ve been using Qt for awhile, you´ve probably noticed our tradition where the Qt Release Manager Jason posts a blog with each release – you´ll find some great examples on Qt Labs.  This has become quite ingrained in our release process, to the point that we claim that the release isn´t truly out until the Release Manager blogs about it.

If you´ve been following our more recent Qt releases, you may have also noticed that we´ve gotten into the habit of creating a (somewhat goofy) video providing an overview of the new features in the release in a (hopefully) humourous way.  The Qt 4.7 and Qt Creator 2.0 Technology Previews are out today, and these releases are no exception, as you´ll see below.
