Somehow this wonderful news bypassed Habr party, nevertheless, I think that it deserves attention.
Posts, links canceled, so I will quote the news here, I hope no one is against.
As part of Qt Developer Days by Digia, which has been fully responsible for the Qt Framework since September 2012, a number of ambitious product development challenges have been identified. Digia's senior vice president Tommi Laitinen and Qt Digia's head and Qt Project Lars Knoll outlined a strategy and plan of action to make Qt the world's leading cross-platform development environment for five years. In his presentation, Tommi Laitinen showed the core values ​​on which the Digia Qt strategy is based:
# 1 in multi-platform support
# 1 in collaboration with the developer
# 1 in creating a great user experience (UX)
We remain true to the dual licensing model (opensource and commercial)
Recognizing the tremendous value of the ecosystem (community) of developers
The main idea that Digia adheres to is to make Qt not only the most effective and useful framework for cross-platform development, but also a tool that will provide the best interaction experience for both developers and end users. ')
At the heart of this plan is a new open business structure paired with open source Qt and dual licensing models. All this will be supported by the Qt ecosystem, which has a beneficial effect on the entire Qt community and the Qt Project, investing resources in continuous product development.
Tommi Laitinen said: “We are very pleased to present a new Qt strategy. The IT industry is undergoing rapid change, especially when it comes to developing user interfaces and user interaction. Qt aims to fill gaps in the market and provide developers with a single set of tools to conquer all platforms and applications. ”

Projects from the Lab
In the Projects from the Labs section, Digia demonstrated several high-priority projects that are currently being worked on. Among them:
Prototype of pre-iOS support in the upcoming release of Qt5
Qt support on Windows RT tablets
A brief demonstration of the Qt5 port for the Android platform, created as part of the Necessitas project, which will soon be included in the Qt Project
Qt application with hardware accelerated 3D UI implementation on VxWorks operating system
A lab project codenamed “Boot Qt”, demonstrating a Qt application that runs on the Android baseline — presenting Qt as the top for the GUI, with the goal of making embedded Linux development as seamless as possible
Qt Quick components for desktop systems - showing the creation of a popular user interface developed entirely using Qt Quick
Qt on a Mac retina screen - an example of using Qt on retina high-definition displays
All of the demonstrated projects gently move Digia to its goal — to make Qt number 1 in multi-platform development, and also allow developers to easily create and quickly deploy their applications on popular platforms.
You can see demo examples of projects soon in the Qt Digia blog and in the video:
Qt Developer Days 2012 - an event jointly organized by three leading players in the Qt ecosystem - Digia, ICS and KDAB, provides an opportunity for Qt specialists and developers to communicate and exchange knowledge and best practices.
