I am looking for an open-source project involving c++ GUI(s) working with a database. I have not done it before, and am looking for a way to get my feet wet. Which can I work on?

A: 

Preferably one I don't care about. :)

How about this one http://sourceforge.net/projects/sqlitebrowser/:

SQLite Database browser is a light GUI editor for SQLite databases, built on top of QT. The main goal of the project is to allow non-technical users to create, modify and edit SQLite databases using a set of wizards and a spreadsheet-like interface.

Do a project you can get involved in and passionate about. Hopefully a product you use every day.

In my brief experience contributing to an open-source project, I found two points keep me contributing:

  • Great people - the other people contributing were fun to collaborate with and hang out with (virtually).
  • Project you care about - doesn't really matter which project as long as the its goals are something you want to spend your free time working on.
