Yes, the event was strictly top secret and Norway would have to invade Poland if we told you what was there. But it was fun - expect more info when we return (we're still in Munich right now, I mean Jacek and I - Johan and Axel already returned home).
Damn it! This event starts to sound more and more like one of those secret societies.
Maybe you'll blog something about it....
Ask Johan, he's already home
The event was absolutely fabulous! Everything else except my english speaking skills rocked!
Oh btw, did you notice that all the content is available in public at labs.trolltech.com..

Hi jpn you were there too?
Did you meet wysota and jacek (and then maybe I have seen you too?)
After DevDays06 I considered my self as a Qt Evangelist.
But after DevDays07 I am a Qt Fundamentalist/Fanatic
No really, what the trolls did with 4.4 is really great.
There are so many great new things.
Some worth mentioning to be on the lookout for (For you marcel, few secrets: )
- QTConcurrent
- New mutex "helper" functions (and other improvements for multi threading)
- Graphics View - lets say - keep an eye on the Graphics View blog on TT labs
- The multimedia support (Phonon)
- Qt D-Bus support
This year the trolls gave "in depth" talks of 2 hours for some subjects, which was really great, we got some REAL information!
I recommend to you all to listen to the online audio of the talks, and go through the presentation slides and download the examples!

Do you write clean code? - if you are TDD'ing then maybe, if not, your not writing clean code.
But where can we find audio of the talks?
I think they are not yet available.
But keep an eye for them on the TT site and the TT Labs site.

Hmm... I was sure you two guys met. Sorry for not introducing you to each other. But hey, there were 500 people there - easy to miss someone.
From myself, thank you Axel, Daniel, Jacek, Johan, J-P, Anti & Anti (who won the contest?), Guido, Maverick (sorry, missed your first name), Nicolas, Uwe, Aaron, the Trolls - Anders, Andreas (thanks for every answer you gave me), Bradley, Chuck, David, Eivind (sorry for not managing to talk to you), Harald, Jason, Knut (thanks for the best marketing), Marius, Volker, the rest of the Support Team and all others whose names I forgot or didn't know, their Partners - Matthias, Mirko and Till from KDAB, Reginald from froglogic, Mark and Justin from ICS, Bo and Morten from Thorsen Consulting and all other countless people I met and talked to for being there. Keep up the good work!

Hehe... like at the Oscars
Not to forget QtCentre.org was mentioned by Andreas during his talk (the GraphicsView Architect) as a source for interest statistics!!Knut (thanks for the best marketing)
(when he wanted to show how much people are interested in the GraphicsView framework)
Which means the trolls are keeping an eye on us, which is a good sign!

Andreas is a frequent visitor here, so I'm not surprised. I've talked to Support team and they also use the forum often (as guests, unfortunately).
Two guys were wearing the same t-shirt?Perhaps you noticed those two guys wearing a "Qt eXTension library" t-shirt.
Hush, Marcel!

Hi @all,
I've been to the DevDays in Munich this year the first time.
Actually I recognized QtCentre because some of you were wearing t-shirts and Andreas talking about QtCentre in his GraphicsView presentation.
It was very interesting and exciting to see some of the "big" names in Qt & KDE history and present.
It was very funny to listed to Aaron and Matthias.
Let me say thank you to all Trolls out there for my first DevDays!
Tom
