In the past two years, the project has matured, and we have a c= onsiderable user base for both the generator toolchain and the bindings, as= well as a vivid community. Currently, the vast majority of the PySide core development is done by the = OpenBossa INdT team in Brazil and funded by Nokia's MeeGo Computers team - = the PySide project has internally been an enabler for the MeeGo 1.2 Harmatt= an Python project. Unfortunately, the Nokia N9 is the only MeeGo (Harmattan= ) phone to be published by Nokia, and Nokia's MeeGo team is being ramped do= wn already in the near future. Because of this, the Nokia MeeGo funding for= PySide is slated to end after this year, and I have also failed to find a = new sponsor for the project within Nokia. I'm hopeful that the project is already sufficiently healthy to stay alive = and grow without Nokia acting as a midwife. This would imply the community = to take a leading role in both the project guidance and actual development.= I've outlined my own ideas and concerns in a mail to the PySide mailing li= st: http://lists.pyside.org/pipermail/pyside/2011-August/002816.html If you are interested in voicing your opinion or participating in PySide's = future development, please join the PySide mailing list and chime in! http://lists.pyside.org/listinfo/pyside Cheers, Matti Airas
