Hey Jay,
Great to hear that you plan on joining. The best way is either (1)
google hangout - which myself or Florian R. typically try to open, feel
free to add both of us on Google+ if you have an account or (2) talkyoo
but I just saw that there is no UAE #, so if you use that method you can
either use a phone to call hopefully not too long distance (I know this
method isn't ideal) or use skype to call the #. Unfortunately skype and
talkyoo don't play nice often.
http://www.talkyoo.net/en/conference_call_international_numbers
So I think for your situation if possible using Google Hangouts is best
to either directly dial into the conference
http://www.talkyoo.net/en/conference_call_international_numbers (call
the US #) or by adding myself/Florian to Google+ so you get the
notification. If you ping us just before the call we'll give you a
direct link to the hangout.
If you do dial talkyoo directly the room # is *537138*
Lastly if you want to jump into the chat to say hello - it's usually
pretty active. I'm currently really busy but my schedule opens up in 2
weeks so I'll be around for the coming few months quite often.

Warm Regards,
Joel

Hi Robinson,
Thanks for cc'ing me as i wasnt part of the list but have sent in a
request to be part of it.
Jay -- Thanks for the legwork here! As of right now all of your
UNCONFIRMED bug reports have had their status updated to NEW,
ASSIGNED, or FIXED. Got any more compat bugs to report? :-)
Your welcome and thank you for looking into the bugs i have already
submitted. If you want a compat bug which i just confirmed while
writing this message but still havent reported, here is one. in the
last 2 test documents i have been working on, if you open the .docx
in calligra words and then save it as a odf, and then open that odt
in libO, the tables will be crushed flat, allowing 1 character per
line. I initially thought this was isolated, but it happen in both
documents i opened which had tables in it though calligra words was
able to reopen it fine. i then tested opening the file in word 2010
and the tables weren't perfect but still okay, but i'm assuming it
has to be related to word 2010's odf compatibility.
I am currently finishing off the 3rd test document i've been working
on, but i have only submitted the major bugs that i've found in
these tests. I report most of the bugs on my twitter account <
https://twitter.com/jphilipz/ > as i'm also testing kingsoft writer
and calligra works, but after i complete the tests, i take all the
tweets and put them into a text file and then .zip it along with all
the test documents created during the test, and i place them at a
public url for interested parties to have access to. As this is my
current work flow, its difficult to make individual bug reports for
each individual problem that occurs during the testing, but i will
try to submit more. If i were permitted, i would like to send into
the list a more customized test result .zip file just of libreoffice
bugs, which would contain the related tweets (along with its related
bug reports i've sent in), created test documents, and images of the
errors. With this, i'm assuming it would be easy for the devs to
create the necessary bugs reports with.
So far in this 3rd test i've been using < http://bit.ly/QBBwfV >,
and here are the tweets related to libreoffice and i've added
'[reported]' to the end of the ones i've reported in bugzilla.
test3: @libreoffice opened docx close to perfection except for a
slight spacing issues and an incorrect font size - http://img.ly/yEH3
test3: @libreoffice 4.0's opened the .doc close to perfection except
for a table width not being constant - img.ly/yEH7
test3: @libreoffice 4.1+'s had the same table issue in the .doc, as
well as a problem with the heading - http://img.ly/yEHe
test3: @libreoffice 4.1+'s opening of the .doc also had a problem of
showing a purple line at the top of each page - http://img.ly/yEIY
test3: unable to export .docx into another .docx in @libreoffice 4.2
as the UI crashes with an error dialog - http://img.ly/yFvh [reported]
test3: reopening saved rtf in @libreoffice 3.6 to 4.2 returns a file
format error dialog box - http://img.ly/yFvC [reported]
test3: reopening saved odf 1.1 in @libreoffice causes loss of
numbered and bullet list indentation, as well as paragraph spacing
issues
test3: reopening saved odf 1.2 and .doc in @libreoffice was exactly
like the original, plus it didnt have the incorrect font size issue
test3: reopened docx in @libreoffice 4.1 and it has missing
background color behind document heading - http://img.ly/yFye
test3: opened @Kingsoft_Office doc in @libreoffice and each page had
a pink line in its header and font styles were off
test3: opened @Kingsoft_Office docx in @libreoffice and document
title was missing, and incorrect number list style - http://img.ly/yFxt
test3: opened @Kingsoft_Office rtf in @libreoffice and the results
were bad mainly due to incorrect font sizes for bullet list items
test3: opened @calligrasuite odf in @libreoffice and it has 24 pages
as tables are crushed flat and first page document heading is
missing [first part mentioned above]
I look forward working with you and the QA team.
