+##Welcome!
+So you are interested in volunteering with the Apache OpenOffice project, one
of the oldest and most famous open source projects around? Great, welcome to
the project!
+
+Getting involved in a large open source project can be a little intimidating.
There is so much going on, so many new names, new processes, new ways of
communicating. It can be
+confusing, even frustrating at first. In some ways, maybe at the technical
level, it is similar to other software development projects you may be familiar
with. But as a
+community-led open source projects the way we work, communicate, make
decisions, resolves disputes, is very different than what you might see in
other environments.
+
+In order to help new Volunteers fit into the OpenOffice Community and
understand socially and technically how we work, we have created a set of
self-directed Orientation Modules to
+provide key information and help you develop key skills needed to contribute
effectively to the project.
+
+
+##Four Levels
+
+We've designed the Orientation Modules in four levels:
+
+The first two are focused on general project-wide community, process and
tooling information. These modules provide the information that every
contributor should aim to understand,
+whether they are writing C++ code or user documentation. An experienced open
source developer, especially one with prior experience at Apache, should be
able to skim through
+these modules, since much will be familiar.
+
+Once you have completed these first two Levels, you will have been exposed to
the basic skills that enable you to volunteer as a general contributor, or to
dive deeper into a
+specialized are of the project, like Quality Assurance, Marketing, Translation
or Development.
+
+Levels 3 and 4 are specialized Levels, that focus on basic and intermediate
knowledge, processes, tools and skills related to that specific area.
+
+##Available Orientation Modules
+
+The Orientation Modules for the various Levels are under active development.
An outline of the anticipated modules is as follows, with links to the ones
currently available:
