Hello
Mary is conducting an online course entitled "Introduction to "tools for
participating in Free Software"". See:
http://mailman.linuxchix.org/pipermail/courses/2005-September/001943.html
to learn how to participate.
The lesson plan follows, and while Mary is going to cover Bazaar
(distributed version control) in the last two lessons, all previous
lessons I'm sure will be of benefit to potential OpenOffice.org
contributors.
--- Lesson plan ---
As per the announcement, the posting schedule is:
Sun Sept 18: Introduction and overview
Thu Sept 22: Ways you can contribute to Free Software (code,
documentation,
user help, artwork...)
Sun Sept 25: Coordination tools: bug trackers and mailing lists
Thu Sept 29: Community tools: Chat programs, blogging and conferences.
[Now we get to the meaty stuff with version control, so I'm going to
post once a week from here on.]
Thu Oct 6: an introduction to version control 1: what problem does it
solve?
Thu Oct 13: an introduction to version control 2: concepts (versions,
checking out, committing, respositories)
Thu Oct 20: introduction to our three VCSs: CVS, Subversion and Bazaar
(version 2)
Thu Oct 27: checking out, making a change, and committing it
Thu Nov 3: conflicts: what happens when your changes clash?
Thu Nov 10: setting up your own repository
[from here on, we'll be working exclusively with Bazaar 2]
Thu Nov 17: an introduction to version control 3: distributed version
control
Thu Nov 24: simple distributed version control with Bazaar

Hope to see you there.
All the best
