Greetings: I've decided to join, as an after-the-fact action, the qa mailing list.
I've been with the Mac OS X porting team for a while and decided that I would best fit in as a builder/tester to insure that the best quality product is produced for the Mac OS X platform and to insure that fixes for other platforms do not induce problems with it. My background: I have been working with computers since 1976. I have tested StarOffice for OS/2. I have tested everything from simple programs that I designed/built to complete operating systems for fun and profit (I was employed at one time as a software tester.) I believe that OpenOffice.org and StarOffice have much to offer, as I do to them. I have already smoketested 2.0.1rc5 for Mac OS X in the English US release and confirmed problems found in other localized versions. What I propose to bring to this project: There are no functionality test cases for the Calc program other than opening an older version/other version spreadsheet. I find that a complete functionality test of Writer will not suffice to ensure that Calc will completely function as it should. A series of tests should be developed/tested/incorporated into the smoketesting that is done to insure that no regressions (old problems coming back on a new release) or new problems occur before a milestone/alpha/beta/release candidate/final is posted for this function. I also post on the posting development/Mac OS X porting mailing lists.
