Another blog entry in such a short time, i must have gone bonkers! So, update:

The sprint has been booked out - we are twelve people signed up for it, with one person even scheduled to drop in on us a bit late.

The training sessions are still nowhere near booked up, though - so if you're interested in free training on Qt technologies at any level, and have the ability to get yourself to Munich on the 10th of October, please don't hesitate to sign up! Either send me an email or add yourself to the list of attendees on the wiki page (or even better, both! ).

Next step for me: Get an estimate for 12 people in a youth hostel in Munich between the 8th and the 14th, put together a budget with that information and get it shipped off to the KDE e.V. board for approval. Damn we're getting close!

As some of you will know, it has almost become tradition for the Trolls at Nokia's Qt Developer Frameworks division to offer some tickets to Qt Developer Days to community members. This year is no different, and it is my great pleasure to extend an invitation to you:

Join us for a pre-devdays sprint at Nokia's offices in Munich - last year the focus was the Gluon game development and distribution framework, and this year it the focus is aimed at bringing the OVI services into KDE (seeing how they might fit in, where they fit, and hopefully the ability to provide the OVI team with feedback on their work). In the process we will also be looking at how this all might fit into MeeGo and Symbian. So, if you've got a thing for KDE on Mobile (yes, i know there's a few of you guys out there ), come along, and let's spend a couple of focused days on that topic.

In return for taking part in the sprint, you will be given a community ticket which allows you to take part in Qt Developer Days 2010 Munich. As someone who took part last year, i will not hesitate to mention just how amazing and productive it all was. Everybody were wired up by the prospects of attending developer days - close to a week of all kinds of Qt-related things.

The sprint is scheduled to run from Friday the 8th until Sunday the 10th (the weekend before Qt Developer Days). We have space for 12 people (of which at least two have been reserved already, one being myself of course ), so please - sign up soon

Sign up by writing to admin@leinir.dk and saying you would like to go. Include in the email the following information: Your full name, an estimated price for travel costs, and your background (reason for wishing to take part, and what you believe you can bring to the table at the sprint).

Following up on some questions on email: We will most likely be staying at a youth hostel (the same one we stayed at last year, simple but entirely pleasant), and this will hopefully be paid for by the KDE e.V. in the style of any other KDE sprint. Similarly, you will be reimbursed for your tickets - but please, we are a community project without huge sponsorships, so try your utmost to find cheap tickets
