Qt Released For OS X

Posted by timothy on from the merging-venn-diagrams dept.

Doesn't look like there's a Free version, but there is a non-commerical license called the "Qt Academic License," which "Allows schools and universities to acquire and use Qt for free in relevant courses."

    "One guy wrote that we should take all these Legos and build giant robots with which to attack Afghanastan." -- Rob Malda, Founder of Slashdot, a "News for Nerds" website, in a NPR report on post WTC gen-X, 10/22/2001

    I, for one, would like to take a moment to thank Rob for setting us "Nerds" back where we belong. Way to make us look like a bunch of childish tech-heads with no conception of the real world! (That was sarcasm, you nincompoop!)

  3. QT3 is awesome by bryanbrunton · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I am using QT3 to write a cross platform legal case managment system. I am going to release a version of it that simply does contact, calendar and mail. It will have an Outlook style interface.

    Screen shot: http://dunsinane.net/bryan/virtualaw.png

    Using the database support found in QT3, this application will use PostgreSQL or an ODBC database as its back-end. It will be multi-user. It will allow for the sharing of contacts and calendars. Who knows I might even put in KDE support (someone had to provide an alternative to the anemically developed Aethera).

    I am looking for anyone who might like to contribute to this project.

    actually no, it's not a lack of compassion or action. I work with a large number of non-profits, churches, and some larger NGO's for free. I donate a lot of hardware and software, and more specifically time and effort. I could be charging someone for my time but I make an effort to help out when and where I can. this usually doesn't cost me money, either.

    I believe that there is much more to be gained by an individual doing what they can to help than by feeding huge sums of money into governmental assistance programs. I have yet to meet anyone truly helped by something like this; whereas I have met many many people, ranging from children to old folks, who have had their lives changed by the actions of a single individual.

    sometimes people have to open their mind a little.
