First of all, Happy New Year everyone!
Phew… it’s been some time now since my last note here, but that time wasn’t wasted. I was busy putting up QtCentre, a new community site dedicated to Qt. The reason for that? Well, simply put, QtForum was sold to a 3rd party, who already owns some other linux-related forums like kde-forum.org, kde-forum.de, ubuntu-forum, gentoo-forum and probably others. We (the moderators of QtForum) tried contacting him both by other people — Christian (previous owner of the board) or directly (via e-mail), but with no success. After that we decided to open our own site and so we did 
24 hours of QtCentre activity passed an hour ago and we already have about 30 threads, more than 100 posts and about 100 members. That’s not a bad result, isn’t it?
It wasn’t easy for me to give up on QtForum. I spent a lot of time there. It was my first place in the Internet which I could consider “my own”. I posted more than 4200 times there within 20 months. I remember my first days there. Actually it was quite of funny — me, with almost no Qt experience at all, answering complex Qt related questions just by reading the docs. Well, to be honest that’s how I answer most of Qt questions, as Trolltech made a really good job with the reference…
I hope QtForum community spirit will follow us to QtCentre, although I know it’ll not be the same — I’m not just a simple user (or a moderator, as for last months), but an admin now! Whoaa!
Ok, enough for today, I have to get up in 6 hours…
And read the docs, Luke! Read the docs… *)
