Hi Peter, Thanks for letting me know. DevOps deals with orchestration of containers (e.g kubernetes and docker) to automate the development process, such as continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) of your applications/services. So applications/microservices in the cloud basically. Some of DevOps tools are Jenkins, Ansible, Helm, etc. Writing custom codes to automate the CI/CD process is a big part of DevOps. And I want to help out in that area if you have such needs. Of course I will check out the OpenOffice project on Github as well and see how I can contribute. Thank you.
