Hi Brandon,
Thank you for taking interest in Apache OpenOffice. The gate opener here
is action (even the try to), not experience.
we have some development tasks to do. it is up to you to pick where you
want to get started. Imho starting is not easy.
We have our priority on 4.2 regression that must be fixed before we can
release this version. see [1]
We are kicking the expat library, if you want to try to support here,
please speak up. I link Damjans mail then.
We need to improve our build system. you can have a look if you thing
this is something you like to ponder with.
Overall i recommend to start building OpenOffice from our guides. see [2]
maybe a easy start is to fix compiler messages.
another idea is to replace c array with c++ containers. this is maybe
less intuitive then it sounds. It would even help to localize c arrays
in the code.
fixes can be handed in through github PR request. you do not n€d any
rights, you can start without an on boarding.
if there are issues please ask on dev mailinglist.
All the best
Peter

Hi, there! (I hope this is the right email.)
I'm Brandon, a college student who has been using OpenOffice for a couple
of years now. I am majoring in computer science, and as such, I would
really like to contribute to some of the software I've been fortunate
enough to be able to use myself. (This is not for class credit or anything
like that.)
I have some experience with C++ among other web related tech stacks. I'm
hoping to transfer from my 2 year to 4 year soon, meaning I've taken all
the lower level computer science courses. I certainly wouldn't say my
experience is impressive, but I'd like to believe there's some work to be
done that I'm capable of doing!
I've completed the first two levels of the orientation modules and am
looking through the various third level categories.
The categories that interest me most are: Development, QA, Documentation,
and Website Development. That being said, I'm pretty open!
Thanks and sorry if I missed anything!
