This year, KDE organised its annual community conference, Akademy 2022, in Barcelona.
Akademy is the annual world summit of KDE, one of the largest Free Software communities in the world. It is a free, non-commercial event organized by the KDE Community.

​今年，KDE在巴塞罗那举办了年度社区会议Akademy 2022。
Akademy是KDE的年度世界峰会，KDE是世界上最大的自由软件社区之一。这是一个由KDE社区组织的免费非商业活动。

Volker Hilsheimer , Shyamnath Premnadh, Allan Jensen and I were lucky enough to attend it and meet KDE folks, among them, many Qt users.

沃尔克·希尔希默、什亚姆纳特·普雷姆纳德、艾伦·詹森和我很幸运地参加了这次活动，并与KDE人员见面，其中包括许多Qt用户。

Plasma, is a desktop environment for Linux, based on Qt. As such, it is one of the largest and most complex projects, Open Source or otherwise, using Qt. Many people that work today in The Qt Company found their way to Qt through KDE, and many contributions to Qt continue to come from the KDE community. The project was kicked off on October 14th 1996 by Matthias Ettrich with the famous "Programmers wanted!" email. Matthias went on to join Trolltech in Oslo, and was the equivalent of CTO or Chief Architect of Qt until Lars took over during the Nokia days.

Plasma是一个基于Qt的Linux桌面环境。因此，它是使用Qt的最大和最复杂的项目之一，无论是开源项目还是其他项目。今天在Qt公司工作的许多人通过KDE找到了Qt的道路，而对Qt的许多贡献仍然来自KDE社区。该项目于1996年10月14日由Matthias Ettrich以著名的“程序员想要！”电子邮件马蒂亚斯随后加入了奥斯陆的Trolltech，担任Qt的首席技术官或首席架构师，直到拉尔斯在诺基亚时代接任。

Many of those who currently contribute to KDE are also professional Qt users, often at key customers of The Qt Company. As an example, Eike Hein is Treasurer on the KDE board, and is Chief Architect in Daimler's Mbition team, which at Akademy included Kai Uwe Broulik and Victoria Fierce.

​目前为KDE做出贡献的许多人也是Qt专业用户，通常是Qt公司的主要客户。例如，Eike Hein是KDE董事会的财务主管，也是戴姆勒Mbition团队的首席架构师，该团队在Akademy包括Kai Uwe Broulik和Victoria Fierce。

So, Akademy is not only a great Open Source community event, but being there is good for business as well, as is having a healthy Open Source community.

因此，Akademy不仅是一个伟大的开源社区活动，而且在那里对商业也有好处，就像拥有一个健康的开源社区一样。

The Qt Company Participation

Qt公司参与

Our Keynote, "Building the future of Qt - together",  delivered by Volker and I, was well received, and we were glad to have people coming to talk to us afterwards. Our Catalan weekend continued with a number of interesting talks and presentations, and with fun socialising in Barcelona.

我和沃尔克发表的主题演讲“共建Qt未来”广受欢迎，我们很高兴有人在演讲后与我们交谈。我们的加泰罗尼亚周末继续进行了许多有趣的会谈和演讲，并在巴塞罗那进行了有趣的社交活动。

Meanwhile, Shyam delved into his specialty and held a Talk on "How C++ and Python can thrive together".

与此同时，Shyam深入研究了他的专业，并举办了一场关于“C++和Python如何共同发展”的讲座。

On the following day, we scheduled a BoF Session as a follow-up to our Keynote.

第二天，我们安排了一次世界银行会议，作为我们主题演讲的后续活动。

BoF Session: Follow-up on the Keynote - "Building Qt Together"

世界银行会议：主题演讲的后续行动-“共同构建Qt”

We had the room full lot of people in the room, so we asked what they specifically want to talk about. That produced a mix of topics, so we focused on two topics that seemed relevant for most: LTS, and Qt quality/stability:

我们的房间里挤满了人，所以我们问他们特别想谈什么。这产生了一系列主题，因此我们集中讨论了两个看起来最相关的主题：LTS和Qt质量/稳定性：

LTS

We agreed that with Qt 6, the setup with commercial-only LTS branches as it is today is not a big problem, as the steady stream of feature releases is usable by Open Source projects without any porting effort. Bug-fixing patches from upstream branches usually apply cleanly as well, so the KDE folks see no need to maintain a patch collection. We also discussed about our commitment to maintaining and strengthening our Community, as well as the fact that The Qt Company having good business means we are able to continue to develop and support Qt as independent technology, which is good for everyone.

我们一致认为，对于Qt6，像现在这样只使用商业LTS分支的设置并不是一个大问题，因为源源不断的特性发布可以在开源项目中使用，而无需任何移植工作。上游分支的Bug修复补丁通常也应用得很干净，因此KDE人员认为不需要维护补丁集合。我们还讨论了我们维护和加强社区的承诺，以及Qt公司拥有良好的业务意味着我们能够继续开发和支持Qt作为独立技术，这对每个人都有好处。

Quality and Bug backlog

质量和缺陷积压

Analysing, debugging, and fixing bugs is a great way to get familiar with any large and complex code base. There are plenty of bugs in Qt's bug tracker, and we talked about how the Qt Company prioritises fixing bugs that impact customers during regular "bug fixing weeks". In those weeks, almost all of Qt R&D puts feature development on hold and focuses exclusively on fixing bugs and generally cleaning up the bug tracker in JIRA.

分析、调试和修复bug是熟悉任何大型复杂代码库的好方法。Qt的bug跟踪器中有很多bug，我们讨论了Qt公司如何在定期的“bug修复周”中优先修复影响客户的bug。在那几周里，几乎所有的Qt研发都暂停了功能开发，只专注于修复bug并清理JIRA中的bug跟踪器。

We discussed different ideas on how we could make it easier for anyway to work on the bug backlog, and perhaps to participate in such "bug fixing weeks" as an open event. For instance, labelling certain JIRA tickets as "easy for new-comers", and making it easier to get in touch with experienced contributors to  discuss certain issues and fixing approaches.

我们讨论了不同的想法，讨论了如何让我们更容易地处理bug积压工作，并可能作为一个公开活动参加这样的“bug修复周”。例如，将某些JIRA票证标记为“新来者容易”，并使其更容易与有经验的贡献者联系，讨论某些问题和解决方法。

General Impressions

一般印象

The reception was friendly, people were very happy that Volker and I were there, joined also by Allan as a long-standing KDE contributor, and Shyamnath who held a talk about C++ and Python. In hindsight, we should have more people at Akademy, later in the week there was less talking and more coding, and following up on some of the discussions directly then and there, with the right people from our side in the room, would have been very efficient.

招待会很友好，人们很高兴我和沃尔克在那里，艾伦也是KDE的长期撰稿人，Shyamnath也参加了讨论C++和Python。事后看来，我们应该在Akademy有更多的人，在本周晚些时候，更少的交谈和更多的编码，直接跟进一些讨论，让我们这边的合适的人在房间里，会非常高效。

There is a lot of interest in having physical Qt events again. Partners wanted to know when Qt World Summit is a real event again, and many contributors are looking forward to an in-person Qt Contributor Summit.
(Btw, our QtCS2022 recordings are up on Youtube.)

​人们对再次举办物理Qt活动非常感兴趣。合作伙伴想知道Qt世界峰会何时再次成为真正的活动，许多贡献者都期待着Qt贡献者峰会。
（顺便说一句，我们的QtCS2022录音在Youtube上播放。）

The hybrid setup worked well for the talks over the weekend, where the room support person also had the responsibility to represent online participants and make sure that their questions and comments were heard.

混合设置在周末的会谈中效果良好，会议室支持人员也有责任代表在线参与者，并确保他们的问题和评论被听到。

"And last but not least - Barcelona in early October gets a 👍 from me!" - Volker

“最后但并非最不重要的是，10月初的巴塞罗那获得了👍 来自我！“-沃尔克

Next year's Akademy will be in Thessaloniki; the dates are not yet set, but it might get hot!
See you in Greece, KDE folks!

明年的阿卡德米将在塞萨洛尼基举行；日期还没有确定，但可能会变火！
希腊再见，KDE的朋友们！
