 Good morning everybody. This is when you're polite and stop talking to your seat neighbors Good morning everybody. My name is Kalle Dahlheimer I'm the president and CEO of the KDAB group and I am welcoming you all to QtCon 2016 in Berlin This is quite a crowd that has made its way into the room here And it's also you are quite a unique audience because I don't think this has been tried many times before to bring together Five different communities or groups to another same roof for a joint conference so We have here the commercial and the open source Qt communities We have the KDE community the FSFE community and the video LAN community and I Encourage you all to exchange ideas and knowledge as much as you can because you're probably talking to the people in Your own community that you talk to all the time. Anyway, so use this opportunity to learn about new things Help help others learn about things that you know I would also like to encourage everybody to try and bridge the gap between voluntary and commercial software development here for those of you who Who are maybe still still in college? Use this opportunity to talk to people who earn their living writing software what that is like For those of you who already pay the rent by writing software Learn what's going on in the universities and obviously if you're still a student and maybe nearing towards the end or looking for Looking for how what your life could offer you in terms of Employment and revenue-generating activities In the future you will find a multitude of companies that possibly could all be potential employers for you So use this opportunity as well to find out about those and what your career could look like This is not a job fair, but this is actually better because you will see many of These companies talk about what they do because they send they send that stuff here to to give presentations And while I'm admonishing you to do things here are some more please turn off the the Audible Notifications on your phones. I mean if you intend to play with your phone phone throughout the presentations Then why did you need to come all the way to Berlin anyway? Of course, if you just came three stops by underground by all means keep playing with your phone About the badges so these badges are Slightly buggy It may well happen that you lose your badge Because this easily tears off here So what I suggest you do is at a suitable time, maybe when they're not overcrowded down there Go to the registration desk because they have a tool that helps you fix the badges and this tool is Means integration of traditional means of production into the modern software development process more precisely You will glue two paper stickers onto your badge One more thing about the badges Please wear your badge at all times while around here security has been instructed to escort you out If you don't wear your badge So do the paper sticker thing early on in the conference before you lose it And if you find somebody else's badge, please return it to the front desk And if you lose your badge, please go to the front desk and reclaim it there And the hope that somebody has already returned it Then there is a conference app So go to your favorite app store and download the conference app to find up-to-date information about Rooms speakers times and so on and so on and This is probably a good time to introduce to you The different communities that we've brought together here So each of them will give you a very short intro into who they are so that those of you who are from a different community Can get a first idea of what those other people that you haven't seen at the your usual conferences before and Then after that we'll get the keynote started So let me first welcome last knoll who represents both the cute company and cute project org welcome Lars Thanks color It's actually pleasure really pleasure to be here and I'm really looking forward to this conference much more so than to some of the other cute contributor summits that we have had in the past Just because we have so many other communities here. We have KDE we have video learn I know they're both using cute extensively and you know, it's going to be very good to have you here to have talks with you guys about What are you doing? You know, what are you missing in cute? What would you like us to do? So I would encourage all the cute people to really go out You know talk to the KDE guys talk to video learn talk to also FSFE and Everybody else find out what they're doing What they need from us or what how we could help and you know all the other communities really please come to the cute guys and Tell them what you need cute is as a technology in a little bit of a special place here because We are base basically both open source and commercial You know 20 years ago a bit more than 20 years ago. It started off with a company in Norway Creating cute as a technology and selling it commercially and since then You know, we've always opened up more and more towards the community We've been trying to you know be as open as we can with everything We're doing with all the technology and it led to nowadays Really us doing pretty much everything that we have out in the open under open source licensing And we still have you know that commercial backing which really helps us, you know Push cute forward at a very fast pace and get lots of things done We've been working with that last year. We've been had having lots of talks with KDE We have a contract with KDE to ensure that cute always this remains open. We've been doing a big work there to renew that contract and Now, you know, we've added a lot more content to that We made sure that all cute versions, you know on desktop and mobile all our tooling always remains open And that's what we've been doing now So, you know, it's it's a bit of a special position and it's but it's a great position to be in we can work on cute You know, many of the contributors get paid, you know, KDAB is one of the biggest contributors outside of the cute company to it and At the same time we're all doing open source. So that's fantastic and we really I'm really happy that we can continue to do that so What I'd like to say to finish off enjoy the summit use the opportunity to talk to everybody For cute, let's figure out what we want to do in the heat next year two is three years to come and we then work towards that Thank you Thanks last and next up, please welcome Lydia pincher from KDE Welcome everyone also in the name of KDE. It's really great to have you all here 2016 is a very special year for KDE We've made a lot of technical advances that you'll hear more about Doing the rest of the conference But KDE is also turning 20 years which for a free software project is a remarkable achievement and this conference Yes, and this conference is also our way to celebrate those 20 years and plan for the next 20 years and more But we've also Done something really important for the community in 2016 already. We just write down our vision It has not been an easy process, but we've come to agree that We strive for a world in which everyone has control over their digital life and a choice Freedom and privacy this is really important in today's world and We KDE can't do this alone. So I'm really thrilled to have this conference together with you To foster our ecosystem and get us closer to that vision So of the people who consider themselves part of KDE who is at their first academy, can you please stand up? This is the perfect conference to have your first academy For you and everyone else have a great conference make good use of all the great communities we have here. Thank you
