  Hi,

my name is Olga. I have one year of experience in software testing. I'm
using Open Office under the MAC OS X Version 10.6.8. I could provide manual
testing.

Thanks in advance,

Hello Olga,

I've added you to the qa-team group in Bugzilla, so you should have
permissions now to edit all bugs.

As for builds, it depends on what you are trying to do.  The builds on
ci.apache.org are our daily automated builds.  These are mainly to
check whether or not we break the build with compile errors.  We
generally do not test these beyond what unit tests might run as part
of the build.  And as you see, the automated builds are for Linux and
Windows only right now.

When the developers teach a milestone, or have integrated a new
feature that they think is worth testing, then they will post a note
declaring a "snapshot" build.  These are also listed on the wiki here:

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Development+Snapshot+Builds

Snapshot builds are worth testing to look for regressions.

And then there are the actually released builds, the ones you get from
our www.openoffice.org website.  These are very useful.  Since they
are what our users are running we can use these versions to confirm
any incoming bug reports we get from our users.  So initially I am
encouraging new volunteers to just install the released AOO 3.4.1 and
help review the large backlog of bug reports we have in Bugzilla.  We
have 3011 such unconfirmed reports.  Right now that is one of the most
useful things we can do.

Is it OK if I assign you 10 or so defect reports to look at with AOO 3.4.1?

Hello Rob,

I've created a Bugzilla account. My user-id is *
princess.romanova.olga@gmail.com. *But my problem is still actual. I don't
know which test build I should install. I haven't found any builds for mac
in the following repository
http://ci.apache.org/projects/openoffice/index.html. Should I install
linux/windows system on my virtual machine or build for Mac OS exists
somewhere?

Hello Olga,

Welcome to the project!  As I just mentioned to Alan, let me know when
you have created a Bugzilla account.  If you then give me your user-id
I can add you to the qa-team Bugzilla group.  This will allow you to
modify all bug reports.

Regards,

-Rob
