looking for C++ developers

Hi everybody,
So I have been working on a project in Qt c++ that covers a very wide range of "dialing in" a grow. I have quite a bit of code already, and am looking for people who can lend a head and some fingers. It is getting a bit overwhelming alone.

I'm still deciding on whether or not to openSource the code and try to get more developers involved or to try to build a small team and sell the app for a small fee...

If this has sparked a bit of interest and you have read the f*x-ng manual, please let me know and we will talk more about it. I would really appreciate any help I can get, advice on an openSource model for this (I would like to be somewhat reimbursed for the many 12hrs/day spent wearing out my keyboard and finding where that memory allocation goes out of scope without being deleted...), or you want to be part of the team and get your share of it all..

I am really looking for experienced c++ codeMonkeyes who keep a grow (You won't be able to wrap your head around these objects unless you understand growing in real life). So hopefully upon reading this far you will be wanting to get in touch, please post a reply publicly so we can all be able to tell how many are interested, and send me a PM, I will schedule a time to establish communications (whether it be IRC/Forum/googleTools(much of the project documentation is kept on googleDocs and googleWave)).

Thanks

So still hacking away at this by my lonesome self. Looking for people to help join my team. I have big dreams planned for this, but its too much for one man.

So attached is a very early version of the app, I wouldn't even call it beta yet. No installer, just run the .exe (those Qt dll's need to be there too) from inside any folder, drag that folder to trash to completely delete it. easy enough right.

So here is what is does as of now: Electrical stuff mostly works (the enable/disable isn't done, but electricity math is..); Products really only use name as of now (plans include tracking cost, and all the nutrient info is for a ppm cross-product nutrient calculator, don't worry about filling all that out just yet); Profiles work to keep up with how much you need to feed of x product, this is built around the concept of feeding charts many product companies distribute; And Cycles is where you track your crop, crop length, startdate..... So container size is (going to be) used to let you know how much to fill (i.e. nutrient company says 4ml/l and you need to fill a 10Gal reservoir... how much goes into 10gal.. Yeah it will do it for you).

The calendar is the main focus of the application, you can track daily notes, record temps and humid, and each cycle that has not passed its finish date will show up and let you know how much to feed if you need to.

You will get bored with it in 2 minutes because it is very far from done. I am just putting this up here to try to spark some interest, and get some help. Even image guru's can help out, as you can see I have no icons yet. If you are a CSS ninja, you might like to try your hand at Qt stylesheets which are CSS for ui objects. I also don't have a mac around atm, so if you are familiar with xcode and Qt, it would be nice just to know that it comples and runs under OSX.

Attached is a windows exe; for linux version, contact and I will give you access to the source.

wont let me attach so I link :

Can you build devices based on arduino or similar microprocessors? I have a dream for the toaster that runs linux - mount it on the wall, instant realtime remote access to your growShow via internet connected device... and not literally in a toaster, but a black metal case..

So you good with a solderingIron, or just inserting graphicsCards and RAM? (no offence, but I gotta weed out the ones who aren't there yet, you can always take it furthur)
Thanks for giving it a quick spin, you are the first person other than me to run it on your system.

any other geeks on this forum?

Never worked on/with arduino(but it seems pretty easy to use), as i only have ever really had access to Intel/Amd. Good with a soldering gun, building computers, whatever, just not into programming really, at all. Never had the time to learn C++ or any other language (now i wish i did), although i do remember messing with a TON of HEX on the N64 of all things lol.
At any rate, i wouldn't be able to help you out even if i wanted to, current career takes up practically all of my time, and what spare time i do have now a days i sure as heck use to go on vacation or just be plain lazy, no offense:blsmoke:,
Hope you can find someone to give you more help with your program, i do like it, but i think most people on here will be very shy about it for a variety of reasons, such as it could be an evidence trail or just plain paranoia (like it phones to someone, etc...).
Happy trails:bigjoint:
Oh, Robert, nice....almost forgot about that...
