Welcome Rakan!

Hello there everybody,
My name is Rakan. I am a web designer living in the United Arab
Emirates. I've been a web designer for about 10 years now and I guess my
strengths are mostly layout design, content design and programming
(ASP/VbScript, some C, some VB, etc.). I do a number of other things,
though they are not my specialties (such as graphic design, database
design, etc.).
As a beginnning you might want to check out the "To Dos" list at
http://website.openoffice.org/todos.html
I am actually working on the new style guide and hope to have a draft
posted by the end of this next weekend, the 28th.
However, you're certainly welcome to tackle the randomized download
business (involving changes to the existing JS code) or take a look at
the discussions regarding the new support page.
Again, welcome, we can always use additional help. Please feel free to
suggest and/or psot changes to any other pages you feel would be helpful!
I love OpenOffice.org! I really respect and appreciate all the hard work
and intelligence that went into making this project so successful and so
useful - so thanks to everybody who made this project what it is, I
don't know what I'd do without this program!!
I made the switch to open source software just recently for a number of
reasons, one major one being that I want to support this community. I
've moved most of my software over to open source and have found the
transition rather impressive.
As an Arab (educated in the US, by the way), I would love to do anything
and everything I can to bring this software the support of the Arab
community. I honestly have no idea what support OpenOffice.org has
received from the Arab community, but regardless, I would either like a
very active role in the current effort, or would like to initiate an
effort if one has not yet been.
I can offer my web design services to OpenOffice.org, assisting in
whichever areas you would like me to. I can safely say that I am willing
to dedicate each Thursday to work related to this project, and my role
in it (for now). I intend to contribute more than that as time goes by,
but for now, this is what I can safely guarantee. I can also use my
business connections, associations and relationships here in the
Middle-East to help push this project forward in the region.
I hope that my role in OpenOffice.org can grow and that my contributions
can hopefully make a difference.
I look forward to working with you all.
Best Regards,
Rakan Omar Brahedni
