Introducing Myself to list
Hello:
My name is Matthew. I am from northeast United States. I have been
involved with functional testing and system testing for about 9 years. I
have been writing test automation for about 15 years. This is my first open
source project. I will probably get involved in development as well, but I
would like to learn a lot more about the product , so QA is the place to do
that. The technology I know from work experience is Linux, Java, C++,
Python, Windows, .NET, and C#. The technology I have access to for the
purpose of open source assistance is Mac OS, iPad, python, java, Windows 7.
I have built test automation for GUI¹s , Linux based command line
applications, messaging based applications, and .NET based applications.
I am following the instructions, so I do not yet have a Bugzilla ore test
link account.

Hello:
Thanks for the nice welcome. I will certainly be interested in looking
into the apache / java regression tool. First though I will have to
spend some time getting setup, so it will be a little while
before I start contributing.
Thanks
Matthew

Hello Matthew,
Welcome to the Apache OpenOffice project! I'm in the NE as well, in
Massachusetts.
You list an impressive range of skills. We have a Java/Eclipse based
GUI automation testing tool for OpenOffice, where test cases are
written in Java, but it has been neglected recently, since relatively
few QA volunteers know Java. Maybe you want to take a look at it?
In general we're in the end game for the OpenOffice 4.1 release,
hoping to release before the end of the month. I'd expect another
Release Candidate (RC4) in the next few days. They'll be some
targeted testing to verify some fixes, but it will be very limited.
It is a good time to regroup and plan for what we want to do for QA on
the next release.
Have you seen our New Volunteer Orientation page? It has a bunch of
information useful for new volunteers, about Apache, about the
OpenOffice project, as well as a specific page about QA:
http://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/
Scan over those pages at your leisure. The QA page will deserve more
attention since it will lead you to get signed up for the right
mailing lists, wikis, Testlink, Bugzilla -- the tools we use for QA.
Feel free to post back to the list with any questions. I or one of
the other volunteers will try to help.
Regards,
-Rob
