Akademy 2025
A few weeks ago was KDE’s Akademy which was hosted in Berlin, Germany this year! This was my first time visiting Berlin, which I’m surprised by considering I’ve been visiting Germany practically non-stop since 2023. There was lots of fun this year, and it’s always great seeing everyone again ❤️
Getting to Berlin for me and back was 100% uneventful, which is odd. (This time, the travel bug bit Nate Graham 😬) So much so, both arriving planes were early! Also because of the location of BER there was literally only one direction to go, so even the train travel was simple. Within the city, it was the S-Bahn all the time and the occasional U-Bahn.

Qt ☛ QML Model: Sort and filter the data on the fly
In most data-driven applications, sorting and filtering are very common and often necessary. Qt makes this easier by providing a built-in proxy model that can handle sorting and filtering without changing the original data. This model can be attached to a view and use it within the MVC framework to display the data. Developers can also extend its functionality by inheriting from QSortFilterProxyModel and overriding its filtering and sorting APIs, allowing for fully customised behaviour.
