My name is Lucrecia Llerena Guevara. I have commenced my research for a PhD
in Computing at the Autonomous University of Madrid (UAM). The title of the
research that I am conducting is Formalized procedure for adopting
usability techniques in the open software development process. The aim of
this research is to check whether it is possible to adopt usability
techniques with adaptations in OSS projects. I would like to contribute to
the project Apache OpenOffice and, through my research, help to detect
faults, put forward improvements of new features and functionalities, test
and support the work of the community. In particular, we would like to have
the usability techniques adopted in the OpenOffice Writer because we
believe that this project can use as a laboratory for our research.
