As of this year he has also been very active in the Qt forum, where he has helped in bridging the gap between end users and Qt developers by providing insight and well structured assistance to Qt's users. Never to shy away from the hard questions, he undoubtedly has shown the technical expertise and dedication we all have grown to expect from Qt's developers and contributors, therefore he should be considered with highest esteem for a Qt champion spot.

/Community Builder
|He's the creator of https://qtlite.com/ , an amazing website to help you create a minimal configuration for your Qt build, show you the impact of features in typical builds, which combinations are currently known to not work, etc. The site is easy to use, engaging and encourages to contribute back straight to Gerrit.


Mrjj is a very nice person and activley involved in Qt Forum everyday, answering to the Questions posted, And being friendly to everyone.  
Also, he is as known as one of the famous Qt developers in Japan. If he is creating some software or service with Qt and then he finds a Qt bug, he leaves that software coding alone and he modifies that bug first. (ex: Improve some functions of QtCreator [https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt-creator/qt-creator/+/269226 this], [https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt-creator/qt-creator/+/268057 this] and [https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt-creator/qt-creator/+/264905 this]) As a result, his company became a No.6 contributing company on Qt's contribution ranking on 8th July this year. And this is just his achievement because his company's developer was him alone.

Finally this year, He returned back to chairman of the Qt User community in Japan. He originally led the Qt user group for many years. And he left the leadership to one of the community members a few years ago. The monthly Qt meetups in Japan continued during that time, but this time he returned to the chairman he will contribute to the spread of Qt as a user group. Specifically, it seems that he is planning like following activities. "Dissemination activities throughout Japan as a user group", "Enhancement of online information about Qt", "Creating an environment that can help each other of Qt software developer", "Provide a place for interaction between Qt users" ([https://translate.google.co.jp/translate?sl=ja&tl=en&u=https://qt5.jp/2019/09/2019-japan-qt-users-group/ LINK: his web site])

The API is chainable that could turn multiple step operations into a single QFuture. It is an innovation to make asynchronous programming with C++ in a much more flexible and simple way.

Denis Shienkov

(denis.shienkov)

Maverick Denis has been a contributor to the Qt project since 2011.

He is approver, the author and maintainer of the QtSerialPort module and has contributed to many other modules as well.

As an active user of the Qbs build system, he stepped in when this project was handed to the community and provided over 100 patches to improve this project, especially in regard to bare metal programming.

A noticeable amount of patches also went to Qt Creator, foremost to integrate the new Qbs features into that IDE. And last but not least he reviews patches in various Qt modules.

I think all that qualifies him to be a Qt Champion.

Orgad Shaneh

(orgads)

Developer/Fixer Once again the most productive external contributor to Qt Creator.

He joined the Qt project in 2011 and is approver as well as the maintainer of Creators Version Control module.

While the list of his contributions is already impressive, he actively participates on much more changes as reviewer, and that is just the continuation of the last years.

He always has an eye for polishing the rough edges and to improve processes. Instead of writing bugreports, he often provides a ready-to-merge solution on Gerrit.

For all that reasons, he deserves the title for the highest degree.

Christian Ehrlicher

(christian.ehrlicher)

Fixer/Developer He is a member for a long time, but started contributing to Qt massively two years ago. Since then he has also become approver and is well known in the community for his friendly and constructive nature.

He not only shares his immense knowledge with contributions (a lot of bug fixes and cleanups) and reviews, he also answers the difficult questions in the Qt Forum, where he additionally acts as moderator.

This over-average activity is exactly what we expect from a Qt Champion.

What is expected of a Qt Champion

A Qt Champion is there to show what the Qt Community is best at.

The Qt Champion is friendly and has shown active participation with the Qt project.

Limited time only

Once you are given the title of Qt Champion, you will hold the title for a year.

If you achieve the title for three years, you will be entitled for a lifetime title. If you are so committed to the project, you need to be recognised beyond a normal Qt Champion title.

But I get paid to do this! / What if we are a company?

Yes, some of us are paid to work on Qt by our employers. Mostly on the code base, but also testing, documentation and other essential work goes on in the project. Some of the people who do get paid to work on the project do so above and beyond the normal limits of their day jobs (coding all day and helping newcomers in their free time, for example). We need metrics to find these people and provide them with a Qt Champion title too.

Tools to help figure this out
