[dev] Students that want to contribute to openoffice.

2010-09-13 Thread Dellomo, Matthew
Dear open office organization,

I am a student at Worcester State University, studying object oriented
software as part a group of 3 other students.

Is there any way that we could contribute to maybe an open office extension?
We have less than 3 months together to help out in any way that we can.

How can we get started with the current methods used to generate open source
software?
Could we be assigned someone to consult with, about questions and issues?

Thank you
Matt Dellomo

OpenOffice.org you mean ?  :-)

Great :)

OpenOffice.org is mostly written in C++ , so it should be ok :)

extension?





Well, the OOo wiki has a lot of entries about that :

See http://wiki.services.openoffice.org a lot of links are waiting  
your read :)

can.




If you are interested, instead of writing  an extension, the  
OpenOffice.org Education Project does student mentoring, in  
collaboration with schools.


So you could work on little issues, or features improvement with the  
Education Project ? See:  http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/ 
Education_Project/Effort . There are plenty of proposals, you can wor  
on, one or several students, mentored by us.


And the EducOOo non profit assocation can participate to the  
application validation with your school / University ( like we  
already do with Epitech Paris, Ecole Centrale Nantes .. and so on)


Just in case you are interested, of course.

If you want to know more, we use a lot the IRC channel for  
discussions, development, includig ClassRooms .


Channel :  #education.openoffice.org

Thank you



You're welcome :-)
