A new quite interesting chapter of my life is started since quite some time, I didn’t want to say too much about it until everything was settled down and up to speed. But now i guess the time has come, let me introduce my new employer, a pretty familiar and constant presence in the KDE development:
Thanks to the generous support of those people, these days known as Qt Development Frameworks (and the mother company Nokia of course), I’ll be sponsored to work full time on KDE, in particular on the Plasma libraries and shells, especially the Plasma netbook project, that is taking up shape quite nicely. Plus there will be another quite cool Qt-related project
I will remain based here in Italy, but especially starting from next year perhaps it would be more probable to see me wandering around conferences around the world, we’ll see 🙂
What i can say: Qt Development Frameworks (or: our little old dear trolls) rocks!
Great, great news – thank you Nokia! (and congrats to you!
I’m so glad to see more money finally being put into KDE.
Sorry, my compliments in italian sounds better. 🙂
Complimenti Marco! Deve essere davvero figo avere uno stipendio per lavorare su qualcosa che si
Well, it is great and a happy news. Congratulation Marco Martin you deserve more.
Word to Nokia: you choose right person for right job.
Congratulations Marco!
Does this mean that plasma-netbook (or something like that) is going to be the default shell for Maemo 6?
first of all thanks to everybody.
@kedadi: no, there is nothing planned in that sense and anyways, I don’t know more than anybody else about plans like that.
That’s really nice for you! Congratulation. Am I right that you aren’t allowed to talk about the “another quite cool Qt-related project” ;-)?

Sorry about the second posting but there was an error message. Still something wrong with the migration?
Great news! Congrats! They should picked you long ago 😉
Full speed on making cool things!
Complimenti!
Congratulations to both you and Nokia. 🙂 Keep rocking!
Gratulations!
Congrats! This is good news, especially for the KDE Netbook work you have been doing.
Come da oggetto, adesso ci aspettiamo BOMBO per QT o meglio in KDE-Games 😀
Congratulations, Marco!
It is great to see you, another highly skilled, visionary and enthusiastic KDE hacker, are hired to work on KDE. Sponsoring KDE developers is one of the best things companies can do. 😛 And the collaboration between Nokia, KO GmbH, Kolab, etc. does seem to pay off, too. So many fruits about to ripen… everyone is pofiting. 🙂
Cheers to you!
@limaCAT: eeeh, difficile, certe cose stanno molto bene morte e sepolte :p
anche se in Qt rimrrebbe un tantino pi

Thank you Nokia and congratulations for new (and exciting) job!
Tanti tanti complimenti! In bocca al lupo per la tua nuova esperienza. A presto!
