Video: Interview with New Qt Chief at Qt Developer Days 2008
At the Qt Developer Days in Munich, Anika Kehrer from Linux Magazine Online interviewed Qt Software's new chief, Sebastian Nystroem.
The magazine engaged Sebastian Nystroem in an interview while attending the fifth annual Qt Developer Days conference in Munich October 14-15. In the video, the new Qt chief at Nokia answered questions primarily about the whereabouts of the former chief Trolls, why Nokia needs Qt and why it bought the entire company. He talked further about Nokia's Open Source commitment and his own use of Qt.
Nokia bought Trolltech in January 2008 and renamed the division Qt Software in October. It now calls its Qtopia cross-platform Qt Extended. Nystroem has been at Nokia since 2003 after leaving McKinsey & Co. and became VP of Qt Software during 2008.
