Hi, I just installed openOffice.org and right now I'm seriously considering moving over from MS Office to OpenOffice.org. I'm impressed by its strength and feature rich programs. One of the key areas of interest was the native language support. I come from Bangalore, India. My native language is Kannada and there is no project for Kannada language in openOffice.org. I'm interested in starting this project. Also I'm interested in fixing bugs for the openOffice and also provide new features which I felt might need to be there while I was using the SW.
My Experience: Software Engineer for the past 5 years, Masters in CS from Illinois Institute of Technolgy and Bachelors in CS from Bangalore Institiute of Technology. I have 5 years of experience in C++ and I have written many projects in Java, CORBA (Distributed Objects and IDL). Is there a chance for me to contribute to this community and start a native langauge support in Kannada? Please do let me know. Thanks Karthik
