And here it is:

As you can see I'm "inviting" KDE mobile developers to share their
experience. You can see this as an extended Q&A session for your own
talks.
If you're game, please tell me so I can add you as a co-presenter
(this might serve as a backup if your main talk is not accepted). I'll
(attempt to) play BoF leader and steer the discussions. Depending on
the turn-out we could levitate to a discussion about KDE's MeeGo UX
(see [1]) or a wider think with other Qt developers not from our
community.
