Direct contributors

The QElectroTech project currently counts several active members :

• Benoît works at ERDF, a subsidiary of EDF (Electricite de France) managing the electricity distribution. He's the one who had the original idea of this software. He provides ideas and ensures the development version does not drift from the project. He checks that the key features are well-implemented. He also draws the main elements collection.
• Xavier is a sysadmin. He develops the application itself. He provides bugs, hard-to-compile stuff, bugs, delays and even bugs. He is also in charge of this website's maintenance (as you see, he appreciates talking about him using the third person).
• Youssef is a fourth-year student in electricity-oriented industrial engineering at the ISIB, a school at Bruxelles. He works on translation to Spanish, documentation and promotion of QElectroTech.
• Yuriy is the co-ordinator of the "Qt RTT" (Russian Translation Team), the group who translates the "Qt Reference Documentation". He translates QElectroTech to Russian.
• José is an industrial technician. He translates QElectroTech to Portuguese.
• Cyril is a C++/Qt developer. He helps developing the application.
• Alfredo is the creator of the website ElectrónicosMX. He participates to the Spanish translation of QElectroTech.
