Module 3 Corrections

2013-09-20 Thread Bonnie Kim
Hello,

I noticed a number of corrections that needed to be made on Module 3 of the
Orientation Modules, as well as the Lazy Consensus article.

I could list these corrections, but I wouldn't mind entering them myself;
where can I go to make them?

New Volunteer! Bonnie Kim

2013-09-17 Thread Bonnie Kim
Hello!

My name is Bonnie and I'm a recent graduate from UC Berkeley. I'm new to
Apache OpenOffice, so I wanted to give a little introduction of myself
before we begin.

I studied English as an undergrad, and completed an honors thesis devoted
to sci-fi author Isaac Asimov. My primary interest was in the literary
figure of the robot, and why it continues to grip us today, as a legend if
not as a reality.

I'm interested in OpenOffice because I'm excited to begin my career as a
technical writer, and I wanted to gain some experience before I began as a
professional. Having come from a strong academic background, I still want
to challenge myself by continuing to learn new things, although to be
honest I'm a bit overwhelmed by the sheer variety of technological fields
that are out there.

Anyways, I hope we'll get along very well! And I'll shoot along a couple of
questions here and there if that's alright.

Thanks, everyone!

Bonnie
