Volker Hilsheimer has been selected as Chief Maintainer of the Qt project, replacing Lars Knoll, who has held the position for the past 11 years and announced his retirement from the Qt Company last month. The leader's candidacy was approved during the general vote of the escorts. By a margin of 24 votes to 18, Hilsheimer was ahead of Allan Sandfeld, who was also nominated for the lead.
Volker has been developing code with Qt since the late 1990s and is currently Director of Research and Development (R&D), Graphics and User Interface at Qt Company. Lars Knoll characterizes Hilsheimer as technically savvy, with connections to the Qt Company, a respected developer community, and a supporter of Qt's development as an open source project.
