Description
The Qt framework is one of the foundational building blocks on which most of KDE's applications are build upon.
Conveniently, the expected final release of Qt 6.12 overlaps with Akademy. So let's take a tour through what Qt 6.12 brings to the table, and also check what will come next.
The talk will look at shiny technical additions (liek hardware accelerated imperative painting and improved QML tooling, HarmonyOS as a new platform), and revisits modules moving out of TP. Moreover, there is also the topic of regulation, like the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). There will be an overview of what Qt (both the company and the framework) have done in that area, and how this might be relevant even for FOSS projects like KDE.

Description
The goal is to provide a 30 minutes overview of what Qt 6.12 brings, with 10 minutes of Q&A. As such, there's no time to dive into the nitty-gritty technical details, but the focus is on the big picture.
The primary audience are technical contributors to KDE, but the talk should still be (mostly) accessible to people without a programming background.
