Hello there!
I'm a New England student interested in contributing to OpenOffice. I've
been programming as a hobby for over five years now. I'm newish to C++, but
I understand the basics (control of flow, OOP, etc). I'm interested in
sinking my teeth into a few byte-sized issues.
Thanks,
Nate

Hello Nate  and thanks for your interest in Apache OpenOffice.

For new developers, we recommend using our orientation modules to get
started --
http://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/index.html

When you get to Introduction to Development, you will find some easy
tasks.

Please get back to the development list, with any questions you may have.

And...welcome!

Hi Will

Welcome at Apache OpenOffice!!! If you are taking on reported bugs, you can
pick up unconfirmed bugs to confirm, that way can help you to be familiar
with the products in AOO.

Yu Zhen

  Hello there,

 Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Will Blades from Halifax,
 Canada.
 I am recent graduate from the CS program at Dalhousie University and I am
 currently
 spending time honing my skills. I program mainly in C++ however I am
 still
 lacking
 in actual real-world experience. Browsing through an open-source project
 such as OpenOffice, it appears that there is a need for volunteer QAs to
 track, locate, and patch bugs. Would someone as inexperienced as me be
 welcome to contribute?

 We welcome here everyone who is willing to help. Simply start where ever
 you want. If you have Questions, simply ask. No experiance is not a
 excuse. Many of our committer started with no or poor experiances. As I
 dropped into OOo 8 Years ago, I have had no idea what's going on here. I
 don't even talk english at this time. That's the beautyfull thing about
 FOSS. If you are willing to work, you will always found a helping hend,
 if you need. And sameday you will be the one who give a newbe a helping
 hand.

 The Motto is: Do as much as you can by your self, but don't be shay to
 ask if you stuck.
