The Qt Project is about to launch
The "Qt Project," being the new governance structure for Qt, has announced its
existence. "Since the Open Governance Model discussions started
in July 2010, we have worked closely with the community to restructure the
code base, design the governance structure, prepare the tooling, and define
a contribution model for individuals and companies. And, we are excited to
have a system in place that will be rolled out just five weeks from
now.
"
Some more information can be found in this supplemental
posting by chief maintainer Lars Knoll. "I want to make it very
clear that the foundation will not steer the project in any way. The
foundation is in place only to cover the costs of hosting and run the
infrastructure. All technical decisions, as well as decisions about the
project direction, will be taken by the community of Contributors,
Approvers and Maintainers. For example this means that people in Nokia
working on Qt will start working with Qt as an upstream project. Everyone
will be using the same infrastructure, including mailing lists and
IRC.
