Dear KDE community, Nokia and Trolltech have just announced that we have agreed that Nokia will make a public tender offer to acquire Trolltech. Trolltech's management and board of directors support Nokia's offer. We felt it was important to directly inform you about this. Trolltech and Nokia have together issued a public letter to the open source community which you can find at http://www.trolltech.com/28012008/28012008-letter/view. You can find more information about the offer at http://www.trolltech.com/nokia-offer. We are very excited about this, and see this as a great opportunity for Qt as a technology. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us through the address indicated in the open letter. With best regards, Eirik Chambe-Eng, Chief Troll and co-founder, Trolltech
