It looks like Qt is unofficially making its way to Tizen. A Qt for Tizen page has just been created in the Qt wiki encouraging the community to help port Qt 5 to Tizen.
Tomasz Olszak is off to a great start, posting a video of Qt 5 running on the Tizen 2.1 Emulator. Check it out:

Eagle-eyed @html5guy noticed something new at Tizen.org — a new Tizen logo and an official Tizen developer forum!
An official Tizen Developer forum is now up. If you have registered previously at the site, you can use the same login and post immediately at the forum. Feel free to post non-official Tizen topics at the Tizen Talk forum.
If I’m not mistaken, this is the third iteration of the Tizen logo — from a puffy font (and a genie), to blue diagonals, to a pinwheel. Anyone know what the pinwheel signifies?

It looks like the Tizen image flashing instructions are out! I wouldn’t have found out about it had not my good pal jezra posted a link in the forum (I’ve been waiting for it to be announced in the mailing list which was promised 2 weeks ago).
Anyway, below is a summary of the steps, and oh, you need to be running Ubuntu (32-bit):
The full, detailed instructions are at the Tizen.org Wiki.
Thanks jezra!
