I have been involved with and working for Qt/Trolltech/Nokia for the better part of the last 10 years and in that time I have worked with a lot of talented folks. Granted, many of those people demonstrated their skills at the keyboard creating arguably the best application framework in the world, but every once in a while you come across people who have other skills that are equally as impressive.
So last Friday while relaxing after getting the kids to bed, we turned on Norske Talenter (Norway’s Got Talent) and was shocked to see our very own Knut Yrvin! For those that don’t know Knut, he is one of our two very capable community managers here. For those that do know him, you know he is usually busy unleashing his limitless energy on the Qt community.
This time however, he, well, just watch…. For those that don’t understand Norwegian, the good stuff kicks in at the 1:07 mark.
Congrats Knut! We will be watching you as you move on to the next level.

Haha, this is hilarious!! He’s actually super good at it!
Saw him at Open Source Days in Copenhagen last weekend. Good speech, although no dancing. Maybe next time

Till from KDAB and Alexandra from Qt talk about their previous careers at Camp KDE. Lot’s of talent in Qt community managers I guess.
Kjempebra, knut!
Awesome! But to be honest, Knut is doing this all the time when he is giving one of his brilliants talks. A man with lots of talents
The judges called Knut a “helt vanlig fyr” – just an ordinary guy. They have no idea. No one can describe Mr Yrvin as “ordinary”.
i remember him showing off the N900 at DevDays by showing people videos of his dancing skills – people just didn’t believe it
But yup, Knut knows how to move! 
Brilliant, knut, points for ya
It’s absolutely incredible .
