We just returned from a fantastic Qt World Summit in San Francisco. Thanks to everyone who helped make this event a success — The Qt Company, the other sponsors and most of all you, the Qt community! It was great to see many familiar faces and many more new ones, as well.

Once again, we were enriched by technical talks from a host of engaging speakers, as well as in- depth training sessions and real-world examples of Qt in use. Check the Qt World Summit website for videos of many of the talks, which will be posted soon.
