Re: I want to be a volunteer.
Welcome to Apache OpenOffice Norma. Your skills in C & C++ are welcome additions to our developer community. The usual first task we suggest to any new developer, is to do a first build of the code base. It is old, and can be quite tricky to build. You will find an extensive build guide at: https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO. I would also suggest subscribing to our developer mailing list by sending a blank e-mail to doc-subscr...@openoffice.apache.org, and replying to the e-mail that will be sent to you. Both may end up in your spam folder, so be sure to check there as well. Dev@ is not only where the developers hang out, but is also where most decisions affecting the project are made. Again welcome, and I look forward to to seeing and hearing from you on dev@ Regards Keith N. McKenna On 1/18/2024 at 12:49 PM, "Norma Carr" wrote: >Hi! My name is Norma Patricia Carr.

Re: Self-introduction and Area of Interest
Greetings Keren; First let me sat that your curricula vitae is very impressive, and your interest in technical writing comes at a most opportune time. We are currently in the process of updating our user documentation and a person with your background would be a wonderful addition to the documentation team. We use Writer, the word processor module of Apache OpenOffice (AOO) along with other modules as needed to create the documentation files, and GitHub/Gitbox for version control. The process is an iterative one. Writer is able to track changes. The first person sets the track changes on, makes the necessary changes, then sends the changed file back to the online repository. A second person pulls the changed file to their local copy of the repository and reviews the changes and either accepts or rejects them as well making additional changes and adds any comments that may be needed and sends it back to the online repository. This process iterates until their is agreement that the file is ready to publish. If this is something that you would like to pursue then I would suggest that you subscribe to the documentation mailing list by sending a blank e-mail to doc-subscr...@openoffice.apache.org. You will receive an e-mail back from the list management software; be sure to check your spam folder as well as some mail clients will mark them as spam. Just reply to that message and you will get a mail back,which may end up in spam as well, saying that you are subscribed. Also with your permission I will forward your introduction mail to the doc@ list. Another task you may be interested in is translating the software into Chinese. We have both variants in our translation software.

I tried sending an email to the subscription department and a permanent error message was sent back to my email address. I have C++ skills and I am a novice- beginner with a lot to learn and I am willing to learn. I have skills in HTML5, CSS, bootstrap and JavaScript for making websites. I am willing to work on anything that involves coding software with C++ to improve, test, and find bugs for Open Office Software. I would also like to work with a website to make new features, work on bugs, test, and anything that needs to be done. I do not know how to do everything but I am willing to learn what I do not know to fix the problem. I have Packt as a learning resource that could help me when I need to learn something coding or website related. I have been studying for many years and I am looking to get in the field someday. Contributing to Open Office would be a great way to add to my portfolio. > >Sent from Mail<https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986> for Windows Greetings Mike, and welcome to Apache OpenOffice; This is indeed the right place to get started with the project. There was a name change for this mailing list to Volunteer@openoffice.apache.org. To subscribe send a blank e-mail to volunteer-subscr...@openoffice.apache.org. You will receive a reply to that asking you to confirm that it is you. Reply to that mail and you will get a reply saying that you are subscribed. Be sure to check your spam folder as some mail clients will send them there. The project is always looking for people with your skills. The code is written primarily in c++, though there are other languages used as well. The first things we usually suggest for new developers are to subscribe to the developer mailing list, and to make their first build of AOO (Apache OpenOffice). For the mailing list just send a blank e-mail to d...@openoffice.apache.org. This is the main mailing list for development, as well as where project-wide discussion takes place. For building AOO, there is a build guide on our Media Wiki at https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO. The AOO code is a complex system so when you have questions ask them either here or on the development list. There is also set of orientation pages available at https://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/index.html that will give you background on the project as well as the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) that we are a part of. Again Welcome to AOO and I look forward to seeing your contributions. Regards Keith N.
