Whats a good group on Linkedin to meet engineers?

That's a little too vague, man

Linkedin is not a great place to meet engineers, maybe the worst. Most engineers have taken down their profiles from too much spam from recruiters.

@gamechangr, thanks for the headsup. I am in search of general programmers with some background in php,flash, C++. I am sure I can always look here at HN. Thanks.

You don't have any contact info in your profile. I consider myself a web generalist with experience in php. This (web) programming being my second career I'm not sure how to rate my ability but if you have a well defined spec that won't change I can provide a solution ...

Anyway, I'm not so confident that I have deleted my LinkedIn profile. In fact I am working on building my soft skills and that site has been very helpful to me lately. You can easily find me there or with google. Maybe I can help you?

You would have better luck on HN for sure (looks like you already have one on the hook)

If it is a smaller project you may consider glance (freelance /part time)

Linkedin if you plan on offering a pay/perk package that will exceed the other companies (otherwise is too competitive on LI)
