Do you want to join the Mac OS X porting team?  Brilliant Idea.

Well...
I'm very interested, but i have very few time to work on mac porting...


I perfectly understand. We all have the same problem ;-)


pro :
- i used to write mac software for years (mac OS 7/8/9 with Toolbox and MacApp)
- everyday, i keep an eye on news about mac porting


FYI, our code is based on recent part of Carbon API (like HITheme , HIView Quartz, QuickTime e.g. )


cons :
- very few time for this project (i fear i may spend a lot of time with the first compile...)
- i have never worked in a team...no experience with cvs, diff...
- my powerbook is still with 10.3.9


This is not a problem: we can help you starting to find the infos you need.

Please come and join on our IRC channel ( server : irc.freenode.net channel #ooo_macport ) and just discuss, ask as a begining :-)

Since we describe everything, our documentation is growing every day and (IMHO ) appreciated.

For example:
- all Aqua only entries : http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/ Category:Aqua - my never ended "draft" http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/ User:Ericb - all porting entries : http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/ Category:Porting - all Mac OS X entries : http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/ Category:MacOSX


We do IRC meeting on every friday and all logs are public, and available. This will help you to know us better.

See here for the logs : http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/ MacOSXPortMeetings

The last recent people who joined us can help you too. and tell you how they did to start themselve. I meant the most recent people like ( sorry for the one I forgot) : Yvan Barthelemy, Ismael Merzaq and Pierre de Filippis (for a Google SoC )

Other point: the mail around development, our main mailing list is [EMAIL PROTECTED], and you can subscribe here : http:// porting.openoffice.org/servlets/ProjectMailingListList

Last but not least, give us a face : http://porting.openoffice.org/ mac/developers/currentdevelopers/index.html

(yes I know, a lot of photos are missing )


I really can't join before december (i'm writing elearning tools).
i'll keep you informed in december !



We are always very glad to see new devs joining Mac OS X port, so be welcome, and CU soon !!


Regards,
Eric Bachard
