Volunteering for Apache Open Source
Hello! My name is Dominic Aldridge. I recently graduated with a Certificate in Professional Technical Writing from the University of Washington, and I also have a Bachelor's degree in Journalism. I live near Seattle and I am currently undergoing a career change. I am moving into the technical writing field and am looking for any sort of opportunities- specifically looking to volunteer in order to gain experience in the industry. I would like to introduce myself to the members of this organization and hope that I will be able to assist with providing procedural documentation. Thanks, Dominic Aldridge.

Ok. Yeah, I remarked about the date in the attachments, so I will change to Oct 28. I will recommit 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 using the script version. I don't plan on reattaching the corrections to the issue. I will just do these fixes and commit on Sunday. -- MzK “The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” --Lao Tzu - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org

Re: intro
Welcome Seon the fastest and best way to develop a feature for AOO is to create an extension. This is the documentation for it: https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Extensions_development You can create them in Basic, Python, Java, and other languages as well. Feel free to go through the documentation and try to setup your environment. You will also be able to find snippets and mini-projects on the forum: https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewforum.php?f=19 On Fri, Nov 6, 2015 at 4:53 PM, Seon Brooks wrote: > Hi, > My name is Seon. > > I am living in Michigan > > I am interested in developing new features > -- Alexandro Colorado Apache OpenOffice Contributor 9060 55AB FFD2 2F02 0E1A 3409 599C 14FC 9450 D3CF

RE: Possible Mac problem 4.1.2
The same symptoms Juergen reports are also attributable to the absence of a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) that AOO can use. That is, one can create a new empty database .odb, but cannot open it, etc. That there are crashes without any reports of exceptions is peculiar though. It looks like more details are required. Can the user roll back to 4.1.1 and verify whether the problem exists there also? That might narrow the situation down to something that changed in 4.1.2 and/or the Mac. - Dennis > -Original Message- > From: Jürgen Schmidt [mailto:jogischm...@gmail.com] > Sent: Friday, November 6, 2015 01:20 > To: dev@openoffice.apache.org > Subject: Re: Possible Mac problem 4.1.2 > > On 03/11/15 10:02, FR web forum wrote: > >> Possible cross problem with mailmerge function. > > Issue reported: https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=126623 > > Maybe Mac users could be confirm or not? > > > > I can confirm that there is a problem, an existing DB file can be opened > but the existing table can't be viewed or edited.

Re: New Volunteer - Dolores Zurdo
Hola dolores. I am a long time contributor to OpenOffice community. I am glad you already took steps to get in the QA project. We have just released our latest version of AOO. At the moment most of the QA job is the ongoing validation of bugs on our bugzilla database, once they are approved, sending them to the developers or testing the patches yourself should be the next stage of QA testing. Please remember we have a QA mailing list for related jobs of those sort at q...@openoffice.apache.org Buena suerte.

I have been reading information and blogs... but it is time for me to start with real problems :). So now I only have one question: what can I do to help you? :). For the moment I'm reading "INTRODUCTION TO QA" form your website. Thanks, Dolores Zurdo.
