[libreoffice-documentation] Calc Documentation Reviewer

2020-05-21 Thread Kevin Berry 
Hello, this is Gordon Bates. My SSO username is berrykevin.
I am interested in getting involved in the LibreOffice open source project,
by helping out with the Calc Guide documentation- specifically as a
"Reviewer", as described here:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/DocumentationTeamInfo/JoinDocTeam
.
I am new to this, meaning I have never contributed to an open source
project, and I have never been part of a software developemtn or
documentation team before. Any guidance or suggestions would be very much
appreciated.

I plan on attending the meeting next Thursday, May 28th at 18:00 UTC

Thanks,
Gordon Bates
