1. Are there programs that you would like to write for yourself ?
2. Or would you like to join an existing development effort - like Fedora?

1. Choose your development tools(Eclipse, Anjiua?, VIM/Gcc) and sketch out the design of your program, then start writing.
2. Choose the platform/project and follow their directions for getting started. Optionally, scan sourceforge for projects needing developer help. Even the most recent fedora-newsletter has a request for hackers.

Isn't there a domain of interest on your part?

Sorry, You will have to choose one yourself. Any open source project, in any repository, will likely welcome a experienced C/C++ developer into their project. But you got to find one, your self.

Here is a minimal start.

yes i have always an intrest in kernel devlopment.
but at this time i want to do somthing simple and basic.
actually i never have done ant "project".
i want o get into some basic apps with C , C++ , and Qt3

i thought about opyum projext but it is coded in python.
i am currently started to get into qt3 so i would like to be concentrating in qt3.

also any support on qt3 tips and helps would be appriciated.

Somebody, perhaps you, should re-do the kexi project which promises to replace MS Access, but in reality, does not come close. A good gui database access application is very hard to find in linux.

PgAccess is a pretty good GUI for PostgreSQL.

I tried PgAccess and it is gui. But some things I want were never finished and the original project site pgaccess (http://www.pgaccess.org/) has been let go and overrun by spam.
Great idea, somebody should finish this project.
