We're blessed to have experienced OOo hackers on the list who have

Pavel has already build AOOo succsfull on a Mac, and I tryed it... but
crash
my Mac with a terrible command line typo ;-) I will reinstall it in the
next
days, and try it again.
But I see we have 214 people subscribed to the mailing list, including
many who were not previously working on OOo code. This is great.
Growing the community to bring in new developers is key to the success
of the project.
Do any of you want to get an AOOo dev environment set up, so you can
build OpenOffice? If so, please respond to this note, and state what
operating system you are interested in building on.
Based on this information, we can have a discussion on how best to get
you up to speed, whether via Q&A on this list, via IRC chat, a phone
conference or maybe even a virtual machine image.
Virtual Image you can only use for Free OS. We use IRC to solve build
problemes. In the last days there was also more traffic on
#dev.openoffice.org on freenode. So it would be great to see more
If someone could create a working Dev environment in Linux in a
VirtualBox image (say) that would be a great and fast way to get people
started.
developer
there.
I was thinking it might be good to put a focus on this. For example,
pick one day when everyone who wants to get started on Mac builds will
work on that. We coordinate in advance with Pavel, so he is available
on IRC that day. We have a thread so we can discuss and compare
notes. The end result of that day (or maybe 72 hours) is everyone who
wants to build with Mac has done it. And we have a set of
enhancements/corrections that we can feed back into the build
documentation, if anything was wrong or unclear. Then, on another
day, we do Debian, and on another day we do Windows, BSD, etc.
This sounds like a good idea to me.
