Introducing myself
Hi, My name is Alexander Hart and I'm from Brooklyn, NY. I am interesting in learning how software is engineered on a large scale.
Introducing myself and goal
Hi everyone, my name is Huy Nguyen. I'm currently a senior at Univerisy of California Davis. I have 2 years experience with C++ and slightly farmilar with Java. I already obtained the source code yesterday. Does anyone know what I can help with since I'm currently on winter break? (Maybe something small). Also, does anyone have time to quickly guide me through or suggestion? Thanks!

I've previously had many discussions about this with Louis Suárez-Potts, who suggested I introduce myself here. I've been communicating with Peter now for about two years, since I first came across UX Write when looking for good iOS document editors. (This was before iWorks' free versions and before MSFT's any versions.) I was particularly looking for ODF editors, not just viewers. And I wanted something that was native and good enough: not complete, not a suite, just able to read, edit and save text documents. I didn't find an ODF editor. But I did find UX Write and the more I looked into it, the more impressive it seemed. When I wrote to Peter, I grew even more intrigued. I thought his vision of managing document editing was invigorating.

The Apache Way we hold by frankly makes sense, as it puts first and foremost the community and then ensures that community processes are followed through.

Getting involved - Introducing myself
Hi developers, I would like to get involved in open office apache project and do some volunteer work. First of all, I would introduce myself - I'm Amali from Victoria, Australia. I've got work experience of around four years, mostly in C++. Operating systems I've worked with and known about are Unix, Linux, and Windows. I've got Junior Linux certification LPIC-1 as well. I'm interested in C++, Python, Perl, Linux projects and I would like to do documentation, testing and reporting bugs, fix bugs, and code new features; however, to start off, I think of doing small, easy tasks before going to medium or difficult tasks. I've got work experience in C++; but for python, I would like to learn and practise this skill. That's all from me for now. I will contact you for help regarding the tasks from now onwards. Thanks, Amali.
Introducing myself
Hello I am Reem El-Naggar, from Egypt. I am interested in contributing to Openoffice in any possible way. Since I actually use it a lot and it helps me with my assignments for college. I am not a programmer and I am not familiar with it, But I read on the web site that even if you are not a programmer you can help in any other ways, so I will be glad if I can help.

I am a student at IIT kanpur, India and looking forward to work with Open Office. As, I am new to this, I've started with Volunteer Orientation and I am done with till Infrastructure Module. I am good at C/C++ and would like to work with dev. (rather learn something for me :) ) So , what should be my next step as there are no giudelines for dev. in Orientation program. As of now, I am starting with looking at source code and Bugzilla. Do you have already found an area, in which you are interested? The next step is to get your own build. If you will implement something later on, you will write and test it locally, generate a patch, and append the patch to an issue in Bugzilla. An experienced developer will approve the patch and commit it to trunk. On which OS do you work? Getting a build environment and building on Windows has a lot of steps. In any case, please don't hesitate to ask here. There is a build guide on the Wiki, you have already seen it? http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO If you prefer git, you can use git-svn. That is not described in the guide. Please ask here, if you need help on it. Kind regards Regina

I'm a consultant developer, always ready to support customers in OpenOffice migration whenever they give me the chance. Hello Fabrizio ! Have you seen our consultants pages? http://www.openoffice.org/bizdev/consultants.html If you want to be listed there as well, please send your details per these instructions: http://www.openoffice.org/bizdev/consultant-submission.html Also, be sure to join our API mailing list. This is where most of the discussion related to OpenOffice extensions occurs: http://openoffice.apache.org/mailing-lists.html#api-mailing-list-public It's a hard task, though: not because of OpenOffice itself, but simply because people fear changes (and IT managers fear users' first reactions). I say “first” reactions because, in my experience, every time I was involved in a migration process, users initially moaned (but only because sometimes falling out of our habit may be burdensome) but changed their mind soon after the development of custom extension which helped them to speed up their daily job. Yes. I think that is key. Although there are some who will migrate to OpenOffice purely because it is free, many companies think of IT as an investment in worker productivity. So the best story is to argue both cost savings and improved productivity. Creating custom extensions to integrate into the customer's business is a good way to do this. Even if I am a long-time OpenOffice user, as a professional developer I began to create tailor-made extensions for customers in quite recent times (2008, and at the beginning through the IBM Lotus Symphony fork for Domino-Notes clients). I'm ready to give my contribution to the community in any way I can, and if you're planning to attend FOSDEM 2013 I'll be glad to meet you in person and discuss about extension development (currently in Java because of my Eclipse background). I personally will not be able to make it to Fosdem, but we will have many project members there, and we will have a table and a dev room. So be sure to stop by the dev room and introduce yourself!
