New volunteer introduction
hello all, My name is timus, i've been using OpenOffice, and many OSS, now
i want to contribute some to openOffice.
I'm from India, and i'm interested in contributing to OpenOffice.....
I've never contributed in any OSS so far, my contribution was limited to
using software sending statistics and sending the crash report if i
encountered any.
Looking for anyone who can guide me ...
Any help will be appreciated ..

A ZIP source package can be downloaded from
http://www.apache.org/dist/openoffice/4.0.0/source/apache-openoffice-4.0.0-r1503704-src.zip
Getting the sources through SVN is equivalent for the purpose of
building, but more convenient since you can easily update and see changes.
Make sure you read
http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO and
possibly the section specific to your operating system.
Regards,
Andrea.

thnks Kay, I'm building the environment .....just got a thought; while
moving in the trunk, i saw all the files and tools.
Is there any "complete ZIP File" for the source, so that any it can be
directly downloaded ...
I got it from sourcefourge.net and i found sourgeforge an easier way ..!!

OK, thanks for this information. If you've finished the general orientation
modules on how the project works, I think you should take a look at the
developer orientation:
http://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/intro-development.html
As a first step, you could download and build Apache OpenOffice.
Also on the Developer orientation page above is a link to "easy hacks" to
get you started on actual code changes.
Our development information documentation is in need of an organizational
update, but I think you will find the api area contains a LOT of useful
information:
http://www.openoffice.org/api/
(use the left hand navigation items instead of the "search")
This will give you a nice overview of the structure of the program modules
and what area does what.
Thanks again for wanting to join Apache OpenOffice. We want your
participation to be rewarding, and we're here to help.

thnks for reply :)
I can do development in C,C++ or JAVA, and frankly i want to contribute
something. I just use OSS, for my work and haven't done any contribution
yet, so it doesn't feels nice ..
I'm comfortable with development, but i don't know, where to start and how
to start .....

Hello timus and it's great that you want to get involved with OpenOffice.
It would help if we had an idea of what areas you would like to help with.
Some of our major areas, aside from direct user support through the Forums
or "users" list, are discussed in the orientation modules:
http://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/index.html
So, if you can tell us a little more about what you'd like to do, we can
assist you with your OpenOffice volunteer efforts better.
