Re: Reg: Completion of Set ups

[Igor Steinmacher]

Hi Dhananjayan,

I am a PhD researcher from Brazil. I am studying the difficulties faced by
newcomers to Open Source project.
As I am following some dev lists, I noticed that you sent this email to AOO
list interested in contributing.

I am really interest in understanding your motives and also what did you do
after this email. My objective is to check the problems you faced and to
propose solutions on how to help newcomers overcoming these problems.

Are you OK to have a quick chat (textual) with me via hangout or skype, so
I can understand how was your experience?

Thanks in advance,
