So the easiest thing would be to send a note to the mailing list linking to the issue you want to fix and ask for hints on how to work on it.

Please review our Dev documentation on the AOO wiki. For your specific question take a look at this: https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Source_code_directories On Thu, Feb 19, 2015 at 9:29 AM, Patrick Lynn plynn...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, my name is Patrick Lynn and I am a student at College of Charleston who is working on bug fixes for AOO this semester with my team.
