Autotools Project Manager, part 3: The Merge Request

During the Desktop Summit 2011, I had the chance to meet some of the guys working on the Qt Creator (QTC) team. I took advantage of this opportunity and talked to them about the AutotoolsProjectManager plugin. After some discussion, among other things about the lack of available documentation and the intention of making a merge request (MR), I was invited to visit the Nokia office in Berlin. So, last week, I had a very interesting and productive evening there and got to talk to some of the developers, Tobias Hunger, Daniel Molkentin and Oswald Buddenhagen, as well as to Leena Miettinen (in charge of the Qt tools documentation), all of who I have to thank for their patience and the time they took to help me. After the visit and their great advice, I had some homework to do (fix some code style issues, add the documentation and code completion…) to get the plugin prepared for the MR. Now, it is finally available in gitorious, waiting to be reviewed by the QTC team! Let's keep fingers crossed!

Desktop Summit 2011: happy and proud.

I know that it has been two weeks since the Desktop Summit 2011 Berlin came to an end, but I really wanted to write this post.

It is my desire to express loudly and publicly how happy and proud I am. Happy because everything worked better than good, because being a member of the organization has been one of the most gratifying (and also exhausting :-)) experiences this last year. As the volunteering coordinator, I could not be prouder of all the volunteers. You simply did a great job and made things happen. Thanks to the core team for being such a great one, to all the volunteers, also to all of you who volunteered at the last minute, and to all of the attendees for attending and for their understanding when things did not work right out of the box.

Working together with the KDE and GNOME community was a fantastic experience where I got to know lots of interesting people who I hope I will keep in touch with. I will miss all the KDE guys next year at GUADEC! 

See you hopefully soon at any geeky conference!

Remember, remember!

Just 4 weeks left for the Desktop Summit in Berlin! Let's make it possible all together and sign up NOW as a volunteer! Deadline is July 18th!
