Introducing Myself + Infrastructure Module

[Hrishit Patel <hr...@gmail.com>]

Hello Dev Community,

I am Hrishit. I've just joined this community.

I am a student at IIT kanpur, India and looking forward to work with Open
Office.

As, I am new to this, I've started with Volunteer Orientation and I am done
with till Infrastructure Module.
I am good at C/C++ and would like to work with dev. (rather learn something
for me :) )
So , what should be my next step as there are no giudelines for dev. in
Orientation program. As of now, I am starting with looking at source code
and Bugzilla.

thanks and cheers,
hrishit

But I have just started with building AOO and get back once I get some idea
about the whole system.

I use Linux debian, though I am relatively new to Linux, I hope I'll mange
with it.

Do you have already found an area, in which you are interested?


The next step is to get your own build. If you will implement something 
later on, you will write and test it locally, generate a patch, and 
append the patch to an issue in Bugzilla. An experienced developer will 
approve the patch and commit it to trunk.

On which OS do you work? Getting a build environment and building on 
Windows has a lot of steps. In any case, please don't hesitate to ask here.

There is a build guide on the Wiki, you have already seen it?
http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO

If you prefer git, you can use git-svn. That is not described in the 
guide. Please ask here, if you need help on it.
