Next month I&#8217;m getting married and as you can probably guess, there is a lot of planning going on (and we can&#8217;t forget the famous &#8220;bridezilla&#8221; effect that usually happens with girls before weddings \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n<p>On the bright side I&#8217;ve been working on awesome projects, trying to eat our own dog food (mainly QML). With these projects we are feeling the pieces of Qt\/QML that needs some love and we plan that for the next year we will be able to help the <a title=\"Qt Project\" href=\"http:\/\/labs.qt.nokia.com\/2011\/09\/12\/qt-project\/\">Qt Project<\/a> to solve these\u00a0<del>small<\/del> issues that you can only find when you develop real world applications and not developer\/designer-wanna-be demos \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>IMHO that&#8217;s one of the skills that is hard to find today on framework developers: most of them didn&#8217;t contribute much to KDE in the last years nor developed real applications. Because of this sometimes it gets harder for them to understand a use case or a &#8220;complain&#8221; about the technology they develop. I hope that with open governance we can get more help about this (and also use more the rule of the &#8220;3 examples&#8221; before adding new APIs).<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been following closely the development of Plasma Active and the rest of KDE. I still have one item on my TODO list (related to one of our scripts that get the content of qml files that need translation) that I promised to\u00a0tsdgeos that I would fix ASAP but I just didn&#8217;t have the time unfortunately \ud83d\ude41 . November seems the month that I will be able to get back to KDE development (after the honeymoon!!).<\/p>\n<p>Well, I think that&#8217;s it. I just wanted to make a simple blog post and update my KDE friends \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It has been a while since my last post\u00a0and a lot happened in the meantime.
