Trolltech Dev Days 2007
I'm back from Munich. I was scheduled for the SubConf on Wednesday and Thursday. Since the DevDays were in town I took the chance to be not at work on Tuesday, too ;)
It was a really cool experience. The trolls did hard work to make it a good time for all visitors. That meant not only they had organized really nice food but also really interesing talks. I was a bit short on time so I didn't get the agenda before. It was a nice surprise to see Aaron Seigo holding the second keynote and talking about KDE4. Of course I couldn't resist and joined his BoF session. Another KDE developer, Till Adam, left his booth and also joined us.
On the next break I found another KDE guy out in the lobby and we both joined an excellent talk about using Model/View in Qt held by Marius Bugge Monsen. It was like a build plan for the KGpg2 user interface. It was a double session at the end of the day but it really kept me awake. Expect to see some changes of the keys manager to model view soon. The tree view examples are really the puzzle pieces I needed to start the game.
This was the end of the official program, followed by drinks, small talk and a good dinner. We had Marius and a Texan troll at our table (sorry guy, I'm bad at remembering peoples names) and it was real fun. And then there was the "Geeks vs. Nerds" game. I wont tell much, but Pi, 21th of June and "going to Alpha Centauri or killing all other civilisations" were some of the correct answers. And the winner was a geek. By the way: the hardest part was not answering the questions, but understanding them. What an accent, I always thought my English was bad.
