We really want to welcome this projects and help students like yourself feel confortable learning about free and open source software. Feel free to ask anything you need. I am primarily interested in software development, and throughout the duration of my degree I have focussed on taking programming courses. I have experience in a range of programming and scripting languages including C, C++, Java, C#, HTML, PHP, and SQL, among others. I use a MacBook, and run both Mac OS X and Windows 7. That's great, OpenOffice.org runs on GNU/Linux, Solaris, Windows and OSX. OpenOffice.org main languages are C++, Java, Python and Basic. I would really love the opportunity to contribute to OpenOffice, but am unsure as to what would be appropriate for me to do. Due to the constraints of my course I only have approximately 10 weeks, however I would be willing to continue working on the project after the completion of my course in order to complete my work to a high standard. Please forward this email to d...@education.openoffice.org and join us on IRC at #education.openoffice.org on Freenode. eric_b could help you out getting setup your compile environment for OOo. If you don't know about IRC, we have a brief introduction here: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/IRC_Communication Regards. Any guidance or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [dev] Request for advice on programming for OpenOffice
Stephanie, There is an education project and they may be in the best place to help you, See for example http://education.openoffice.org/ and on that page you will find a couple of email links to people who may be able to advise you on programming. I hope you will also get a response here from someone who knows how to get started with development in OOo. I don't know enough to give you all the right pointers, but you can certainly start from http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide Being able to build Open Office on your own system is an essential first step, so you could get started with that while you research an area where you could contribute. If you want to see a list of the things people are currently working on for the next release, see http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/buglist.cgi?issue_status=NEWissue_status=STARTEDissue_status=REOPENEDtarget_milestone=OOo+3.3email1=emailtype1=substringemailassigned_to1=1email2=emailtype2=substringemailreporter2=1issueidtype=includeissue_id=changedin=votes=chfieldfrom=chfieldto=Nowchfieldvalue=short_desc=short_desc_type=substringlong_desc=long_desc_type=substringissue_file_loc=issue_file_loc_type=substringstatus_whiteboard=status_whiteboard_type=substringkeywords=keywords_type=anywordsfield0-0-0=nooptype0-0-0=noopvalue0-0-0=cmdtype=doitnamedcmd=irelandnewqueryname=order=Reuse+same+sort+as+last+time Sorry, that's quite a long string! Whatever you choose to do may not be on that list, but it will give you a flavour of the kind of thing that happens.
