To Whom it May Concern, I am a student at the University of Ballarat, and am in my final semester of studies in a Bachelor of Applied Computing. Currently I am enrolled in the course "Open Source & Linux", and as part of our assessment we are required to contribute to an open source project in some way.
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. 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. Any guidance or assistance would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Stephanie Smith.
