Attracting new developers

OpenOffice really needs more developers, especially build experts but also programmers in general. We do have a web page, http://openoffice.apache.org/get-involved.html, but it it not very obvious and tends to emphasize non-programming contributions. Those are very valuable, but we have far

Interns?

Bishnu Gautam has suggested that we should start taking interns, with assigned mentors, and might be able to steer some students our way. What do you think? Would the proposed projects be able to use students? To be fair to the students, they would need mentors they could learn from, not just

Re: Smoke Test to run on a built office

How does one find out whether the tests have hung, or are just taking their time? I started them by running ant in the test folder using a cygwin shell that has the winenv.set.sh parameters for my AOO412 build. It started doing AOO things, with windows appearing, changing, and disappearing,

Planning for emergency releases

This is mainly a summary of opinions I've already expressed on security@. The discussion does not actually involve anything that needs to be confidential, so it should be taking place on dev@ instead. This is controversial - I expect replies disagreeing with my views. The point of this thread is

Re: Building AOO for Windows 10

The instructions need clarifying - I'll look into it later. The final argument "aoo-trunk" is the destination folder for the checkout. If you want to checkout into a folder called "aoo-trunk" do a "mkdir aoo-trunk" first. If you want a different destination, replace "aoo-trunk" with the
