Digia intends to strengthen collaboration with KDE and discuss future Qt development with the community
From the translator: do not kick, waited for someone to translate this news, but this event did not happen, but I really want to discuss.
Following a recent announcement that Qt was fully acquired from Nokia, Digia set forth its future plans in a letter to the KDE community.
The director of R & D of Digia, Tuukka Turunen, said that he sees the future of Qt as the best cross-platform development environment and wants to work more closely with KDE and other partners in the Qt ecosystem.

Dear KDE community,
As you have heard, Digia has announced that it plans to acquire Qt technology from Nokia. This deal will ensure Qt is the future of a leading cross-platform development environment. In addition, it will allow the former Qt Nokia team and specialists from the R & D department of Digia to combine to continue the development of Qt.
With this acquisition, Digia will become the main company responsible for everything that happens with Qt, and not just for the library’s commercial licensing. We believe in the power of Qt's dual licensing. It is very important to preserve the possibility of using Qt as an open source project and as a licensed technology. We want to continue the symbiosis with the KDE community and the KDE Free Qt Foundation.
Digia will continue to participate in the Qt Project, including by providing the necessary infrastructure for the operation of key project systems. An increasing number of contributions from various members of the Qt community is very important to us. We want to work with the entire Qt ecosystem within the Qt Project to ensure that Qt will continue to thrive with dual licensing.
The continued development of Qt is both a challenge and an opportunity. This task will fall on both the community and Digia shoulders to ensure the future of Qt as the best cross-platform development tool, a task that we are ready to take on. The KDE community is a key contributor to Qt, and therefore we would like to develop our relationship with you through even stronger dialogue and cooperation in the future.
We will continue to work within the framework of the ideology originally established by Trolltech more than 15 years ago to develop a framework that allows you to write code once and deploy it anywhere. We will continue to improve Qt, so both our customers and users of the Open Source version can count on continued Digia investments to ensure the development of a framework that will make their projects successful. We look forward to working with KDE to further strengthen and expand Qt’s global presence.
In about a month, the legal acquisition will be completed. Before this event, we want to meet and discuss future plans with you and other Qt community stakeholders. We want to negotiate the future of Qt now in order to work together more effectively after the completion of the transaction.
Respectfully,
Tuukka turunen
Director of R & D Department
It's nice to hear Digia's Qt and Qt Project commitments. As stated in the previous KDE statement, we will continue to rely on Qt, protect its freedom, and contribute. Representatives of the KDE Free Qt Foundation and Digia will soon get together to discuss the details of Nokia's Qt transition from Digia.
