Hi there,
a few words to introduce myself.
My name is Giuseppe Castagno, I live in very small town near Turin,
Italy.
I'm 56 years old and I work as a free-lance programmer.
I participated in OpenOffice.org, there I was known as beppec56 (at
openoffice.org).
Years back, in OpenOffice.org I implemented some stuff in the PDF
export area (https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=12626),
among them the PDF/A export
(https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=59651),
on Writer I added a type of document index
(https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=53420).
I am looking forward to working with the Apache OpenOffice
community.
Wow.. and I have to say that I was thinking just yesterday how
good it would be to have *you* around ;).
I am relatively new to the project but I started with some code
you wrote. I did some small changes to the icc module, mostly to
change the license to Apache License 2, since using copyleft for
the icc profile is simply a bad idea.
I have a wishlist for that module:
1 - We need to update SampleICC: the original version is just too
old and is not available online anymore. Maybe the SampleICC
developers may be interested in having the ICC profile as a
contributed sample.
2- We don't really need to have the icc profile built every time and
we don't have the silly limitations imposed by the GPL so I
was thinking of moving the icc profile generation out of the build
(maybe to tools) and have the generated profile directly in vcl.
3- It would be great if people could download and use the
Adobe profile as an alternative (the stax module gives a similar
option).
If you feel like working on any of that do let me know and I
will help review/commit it. Also, while not strictly mandatory,
you are welcome to submit an iCLA:
http://www.apache.org/licenses/icla.pdf
It's not as demanding as the previous SUN agreement but
it is important if you want to become a committer later on.
Again, absolutely welcome!
Pedro.
