Hope this finds you all well.
Peter Kovacs suggested I get in touch with you, as a first step in
volunteering with Open Office.
I'm a late bloomer as a techie - bachelor's in history. Took me another
few years, but eventually got a Master's in Information Science from the
University of Pittsburgh. Which led to technical writing, which in turn
led to teaching.
All of those caused me to get in touch with Open Office. I've been
retired for a couple of years now, and miss the classroom and teaching
experience a lot. I'd be grateful for anything I can do for / with you
folks. As another part of introducing myself, I'm taking the liberty of
attaching here a sample of my work. It's a PowerPoint presentation I
used in one of my introductory programming classes.
By all means let me know if there's a chance for us to work together.
And in any case thanks for the opportunity.

Greetings Michele and welcome to Apache OpenOffice;
Your skills as a tech writer would definitely be appreciated on the
documentation team. Currently we are working on a massive upgrade to our
user documentation.
We broadly use the Chicago Manual of Style as our style guide. We also
use Apache OpenOffice®, especially Writer, for most of this work, and
use a GitHub repository for version control, as well as tracking who is
working on what.
Currently the Getting Started Guide is published and the Writer, and
Calc Guides still need to be reviewed.
This mailing list is the primary means of communication for the team so
feel free to ask questions. If you have not worked with an open source
project before, the Level 1 and level 2 links from our Orientation page
will prove helpful. https://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/index.html.
Again welcome to the project, and I look forward to working with you to
make our documentation better.
Regards
Keith N. McKenna
