All I can see is that it is YOU who is abusing others. And then complain 
when you're being called out for it.

Just go away...

Don't tell me where to contribute. I will decide that myself.

My patches are there in linux kernel. I am happy contributing to linux
kernel.

As long as MS Office is in existence, libreoffice will be considered a
failure.

I didn't hate libreoffice earlier but now I hate libreoffice because of
egoist people like you.

Dear Amit, I suggest you contribute to Apache OpenOffice instead. They
are a much more welcoming bunch, and you will share the hate of
LibreOffice! They are eager to welcome new contributors.

Ha ha ha...libreoffice people are not going to learn...now, I will never
contribute to libreoffice.

I abused that guy because I got abused first.

You just picked one line. You should read the whole thread.

By the way, now I will say - fuck libreoffice.

By the way, many people in this world don't like libreoffice. If
libreoffice were that good then it would have swept the world and MS Office
would have gone extinct.

Fuck libreoffice.

Wanted to contribute to libreoffice but decided not to after I got abused by some list members because I offered a suggestion which they didn't like.

[A]

I wanted to contribute to libreoffice but decided not to after I got
abused by some list members because I offered a suggestion which they
didn't like.

So, I thought that why should I invest my time in libreoffice when
people in libreoffice can't handle negative feedback in a dignified
way.

It looked like libreoffice people have superiority complex.

In my opinion, all open source software require contributors to
succeed. So, they should try to get more and more contributors rather
than abusing people away who give negative feedback (which also
results in loss of future contributors).

Linux kernel is hugely successful because there if you give any
feedback, no one hits back and no one becomes defensive - instead they
say that "Why don't you fix it then?". In linux kernel world, this is
the standard - if you don't like something about the kernel then
please change it and submit a patch.

Libreoffice should adopt the same approach. Instead of becoming
defensive and abusive, people on libreoffice should say - "If you
don't like something about libreoffice, then please change it and send
a patch".

I still want to contribute to libreoffice but not until libreoffice
people tell me that I am welcome to contribute to libreoffice.

Re: I want to contribute for LibreOffice

Wellcome!

First thing is download the code (git clone and further steps):
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/BuildingOnLinux
Then, you can take a look at the easy hacks if you don't already know what
you want to fix.
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/EasyHacks
For browsing the code and search thru it you may find useful opengrok:
https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/

Asking for help:
For main libreoffice you select the core project.
If you want real time help you can ask here: IRC #libreoffice-dev
You can access it here for example: https://webchat.freenode.net/
Or use for example an app like Srain. https://srain.im/
You can also use this mail list to ask questions.
You can ask for example for the directory of a given module or about where
to find some specific task code.

Legal stuff:
Once you're sure you'll need to send a mail here:
libreoffice@lists.freedesktop.org
Saying: All of my past & future contributions to LibreOffice may be licensed
under the MPLv2/LGPLv3+ dual license.

Submitting:
You're gonna need a gerrit account:
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/q/status:open+-is:wip
This requires a SSH key and submit to gerrit the public part. Here:
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/settings/
Finally for submitting you can use ./logerrit submit master or git push
origin HEAD:refs/for/master.
You can upload as work in progress with: git push origin
HEAD:refs/for/master%wip.
Jenkins will build and check your changes. Sometimes Jenkis windows fail
(only windows).
You can ask on the IRC channel for a resume, it is less expensive than a
rebase on top of master branch.
You'll need a reviewer for the merge. You can ask on the IRC who would do
it.

This should cover the most important points.
If you need more accurate help, please ask.

Regards,

good to hear you're interested!

best to start by doing a build of LibreOffice master, and then creating 
a patch for one of the "easy-hack" bugs that you can find via the Wiki 
page below; once you're done, upload the patch to gerrit.


https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/GetInvolved

for details regarding this year's GSoC, see:

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/GSoC/2019

(note that Google hasn't actually announced participating mentoring 
organizations yet)


don't hesitate to ask questions on IRC channel #libreoffice-dev.

happy hacking!

Re: I want to contribute to libreoffice

[Muhammet Kara]

Hello Amey,

It is good to hear that you would like to contribute. Welcome! :)

Since you already know C++, I would suggest starting with building
LibreOffice locally, and then continuing with the easyHacks. You may find
all you need to start on our wiki:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/GetInvolved

In the meantime, you might want to start hanging out in the
#libreoffice-dev channel on Freenode IRC server (
https://irc.documentfoundation.org/?settings=#libreoffice-dev) where many
of the LibreOffice developers hang out during the European working hours.
After doing your leg work, please don't hesitate to ask for help if you are
still stuck.

Best,
Muhammet

Re: Contribute to LibreOffice

[Shinnok]

Hi Arnav,

LibreOffice is mostly built using C++ but there's many more things you could do 
to contribute. Assuming you are interested in development first, you could 
start by setting up a build on your system and proceed using the information 
bellow.

Getting involved:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/GetInvolved

Instructions on how to setup a build as well as other useful starter info can 
be found on the Wiki:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development 


The next step would be to pick one of the many issues open in bugzilla that 
have been tagged with easy-hack, which is described here:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/EasyHacks 


Also in the upper link you have an outline of the process for submitting 
patches for review. Gerrit is available at:
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org 

This is just a quick primer, if you get stuck, need help or anything in between 
please e-mail this list or hop on to irc at freenode.net on channel 
#libreoffice-dev.

Regards,
Shinnok

Re: Contribute to Libreoffice

[Efe Gürkan YALAMAN]

Hi and welcome,

when i did sent my first patch it took about 8 months for me because,  I
didn't ask.  But the problem was relatively easy.

So good thing you are asking about it.

Send the bug link and tell what part you didn't understand. Someone will
answer when they are available. Also join IRC channel,  it will be faster
for asking questions.

Have a lot of fun :)

Hello,
If someone wanna team with me to contribute with LibreOffice Basic

Anyone here willing to help?
