This is interesting, friends. A Qt dev who wants to get closer to KDE, 
it seems. Considering the new situation with regards to Nokia/Qt, maybe 
it is time to start spreading a little more Qt community news as one can 
argue it is relevant for KDE too. If we can snuggle up to the Qt 
community like that we have a much bigger chance of being recognized, 
known, appreciated and authoritative if one day it has to come to a fork 
or something like that...

Just a thought :D
