Welcome Billy,

it depends on your interests. Good entry points are:

* extension development
  http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Extensions
* finding the root cause of bugs and providing patches
  http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Development

Extension development helps you to get known with the API without
having to deal with all the scary implementation details. It will make
it easier to understand the core of OOo itself, if you want to dig
deeper later ...

When you are interested in directly helping the developing of OOo
itself, see the development link above and try your first own OOo
build. Then you might consider fixing a few bugs to get a feel for the
codebase of the apps you find interesting. If there are any issues dont
hesitate to ask either here or on #dev.openoffice.org on freenode (IRC).

Best Regards,

Bjoern Michaelsen

Sorry Ameya,

   Silly gmail sent ahead of time :) I was only stating that I speak for
everyone "we welcome you with open arms". Just don't get burnt out due to
the complexity of some of the apps.

Hi Ameya,

In my opinion having an intricate knowledge of C is a valuable asset.
Especially if you will be working low level apps. C++/OOAD is a little
different beast. I have 12+ years of C++ & Java but I have been digging
through the code for a couple months to make sure I know how the basic
design of how the apps and extensions are put together. I am not the PM but
would recommend of picking up a project from scratch and trying to design in
C++ from scratch, since this would save you the headache of trying to
decipher another coders logic and improvising. I also want to state by no
means (and actually discour

PS: Please let me know if I am out of line here as I also am new to the OOo
Open source project.

Thanks,
-Billy

Hi thanks for your email please email d...@education.openoffice.org is
a great place to start on learning how to work with OOo's code. We do
have some instructional steps on hacking the OOo code and learn the
contribution process.

There are different ways to contribute, you could do so through the
API and create new things through extension.
http://extensions.openoffice.org and the Wiki could give you insight
to how to create extensions as well as contribute to them. Extensions
however are consider external independent projects which might not be
related to the OOo project.

Hello,

I have many years of coding experience in Java & C++ and I am an avid
Linux/Unix user. I have always depended on OpenOffice for my document needs.
I live out of hotels doing engineering contract work around the country. I
would be interested in donating my time to help and try and repay by
improving on the baseline products or even new features. Question is where
would I be best suited to help?

Sincerly,
-Billy Noel

thank you *very much* for the following link:

It really helped me set up the relevant update.xml file such that it
works (and it works great and as intended!).

[dev] Implementation of the ODF1.2 BITxx functions

[wolfgang pechlaner]

Hi @all,

I'll try, to implement these functions in OOo.
Regina told me, that I may introduce me in this forum.
I'm a 61 year old man from Austria, I was programmer in a large company 
and I've studied mathematics, therefore I has same experience.

The BITxxx would be a entrance for me in helping OOo.

best regards
Wolfgang
