There is a lot to do for the project, from coding to testing, to translating... The first steps I can suggest you to follow are: 1- try building OpenOffice on your operating system of choice. Instructions here: https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO 2- the build will take quite some time so you will be able to browse through the orientation material (if you did not already): http://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/index.html 3- subscribe to the dev@ mailing list and report if you could build AOO successfully -- or any problems that may be stopping your build! I hope to hear you soon there! Best regards, -- Arrigo - To unsubscribe, e-mail: volunteer-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: volunteer-h...@openoffice.apache.org

Re: Introducing myself
Hello Guillermo, and welcome to the Apache OpenOffice lists! I am replying to your message below. On Sat, Sep 04, 2021 at 04:15:18PM -0300, Guillermo Molteni wrote: > Hi there! > > I am Guillermo Molteni, a dev from Argentina, and I would like to > start contributing to this project. I’m also have been using > openoffice for many years and I like it. There are a lot of ways to help the project. Writing code and fixing bugs can be our first thought, but other very important fields are Quality Assurance (bug reports etc.), documentation, artwork, translation... This page: https://openoffice.apache.org/get-involved.html gives an in-depth introduction to the project and the possible ways of contributing. Being a developer, if you want to get acquainted with the source code, a good idea would be to download it from our repository and compile it. It is not a trivial task ;-) and it will help you get an overview of the whole code base. Instructions are here: https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO If you want to follow this path, I suggest you also subscribe to the development mailing list. Write us there what OS you are going to use and we will be able to give you more targeted suggestions. (they would be off-topic on this volunteer@ list). Link: https://openoffice.apache.org/mailing-lists.html#development-mailing-list-public If you have any questions, do not be afraid to ask ;-) I hope to hear you soon! -- Arrigo - To unsubscribe, e-mail: volunteer-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: volunteer-h...@openoffice.apache.org

Hello Harsh, and welcome!

There is a lot to do :-) We have an in-depth introduction to the project and to its development, that you are suggested to read: http://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/index.html If you are interested in contributing code (C++ or Java), then the first step should be to setup your computer and build OpenOffice for the first time. What is your operating system of choice? We can continue this thread on the dev@ mailing list once you are subscribed there.

Re: Subscribe to Openoffice Development
Hello Harsh, thank you for your CV. As Carl already wrote, I am the only one who received it because you wrote to me directly. ;-) But no one needs to post their CV here. We just look forward to cooperation! This is "the Apache way"! [1] Please see below for my reply to your previous message.

It is surely fine! I suggest you: 1- subscribe to the dev@ mailing list; 2- follow the building guide for Windows [2]. For any questions during this process, please write to dev@. We will consider your questions as a feedback to the building guide ;-) At the present time, I suggest you concentrate on the "trunk" branch. That is where most of the development should take place. I am looking forward to hear you on dev@, then!

Re: Install AOO via winget on Windows 10/11
Hello, adding volunteer@ mailing list because... we need a volunteer. Please read below.

Nice! > While the OpenOffice package information is still showing 4.1.13 [1] [...] I see anyone can open a pull request to update the package repository. While I am glad this has happened since March 2021, I suggest we could coordinate here further efforts. Are there any volunteers for submitting the 4.1.14 release to winget-pkgs ? Once we learn how to do this, we could add a "task" in the release planning document.
