Hello Amanda Welcome to the team. Don't worry if you can't attend, I'll try to guide you.
First tell me where do you want to work? Writing books or writing our Help system contents? The first is rather easy provided we follow the instructions on the page below, but you should be very proficient in Office suites especially LibreOffice, which is our target. It is basically update our books to the newest release, and it involves checking consistency and write about new features. https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Development The second is a bit harder because it involves writing source code contents in XML files, compilation, testing and submitting patches for git... very nerd thingy... but anyway let me know if you want to jump in. I expect tomorrow to get a list of tasks on writing books for the next 6.0 release and distribute to people for writing. Stay tuned. Kind regards Olivier Em 01/08/2017 01:00, Amanda Labby escreveu: > Hi all - > > My name is Amanda. I work in healthcare IT as a SME and do a lot of > documentation for the product that I work with.
