New Contributer to OpenOffice
Hello,
I'm a software developer with some professional experience writing in C++. I'm deeply interested in open source software and would like to contribute. How can I contribute?
Thank you,K

Hi Kelly,
Welcome to OpenOffice. Please see below what Keith wrote.
The easiest way to push your contribution to us is through a github pull
request [1].
If you need a starting point what to fix, start with the list at [2]
I agree with Keith. Learn on building OpenOffice. Then you can try to
look into. Since AOO is mature code, dont be shocked. Ask Questions if
you need pointers on dev.
We try to help
All the best
Peter

Keith,
Thank you.
I'll get myself subscribed to the correct mailing list tonight and will work on getting Open Office built! I usually prefer to build and develop on Linux but I'm currently using Windows so I may take some time to play around with things.
Thanks again,
Kelly

Greetings Kelly and welcome to Apache OpenOffice (AOO;

Click reply and you will receive a reply that you are subscribed.
This mailing list is the main communication medium for the project. One
of the mainstays of the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) is that if it

Since the code base is large and complex, we usually suggest that the
first thing a new developer try is setting up their environment and
making a first build. A complete build guide is available at
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO.
If you have any questions or problems bring them this list and our
development team will will help you sort them out.
