KDE is the largest Free and Open Source community writing Qt software. Its large portfolio of applications for a wide spectrum of domains has lead to an equally wide spread spectrum of libraries for general functionality, platform integration and domain specific tasks. Qt application developers are often not aware of what is available or are uncertain what dependencies an interesting library might have. This talk will introduce two KDE initiatives to address those needs: Inqlude, a repository for Qt libraries, and KDE Frameworks 5, a reorganization of KDE's libraries into a modular structure with fewer, cleaner and better documented dependencies.

QML is very often considered to be just an implementation detail of QtQuick, a UI framework for Qt applications with an initial focus on mobile devices. However, QML is actually way more than that. It is a declarative language and associated runtime which can be used for any number of scenarios that benefit from its features.

This talk will show some of those lesser known use cases and should give the audience the necessary base information to explore sure usages in their own projects.
