Introducing myself

[Arrigo Marchiori <ar...@yahoo.it.INVALID>]

Dear Recruitment list,

my name is Arrigo Marchiori. I have given very small contributions to
the OpenOffice code in the past, in the form of bug reports and
patches. At the moment, there are three open pull requests I proposed
on GitHub.

Lately, I have been trying to invest more of my free time into this
project, as I see quite some room for improvement and I would like to
help shape this great program, that I use for my daily work.

I am already subscribed to the dev@ mailing list. Today I found the
"Orientation" section of the web site and... here is my first step,
introducing myself on this list.

I am not a rockstar, neither a programming genius. My computing skills
include C, C++ and Python, that I use at work on PC and on embedded
systems.

I have experience of Linux (Ubuntu, openSUSE) and FreeBSD systems. I
can work under Microsoft Windows but it is not my platform of choice.

My native language is Italian. I hope my English is... acceptable.

Being blessed by a family and a daily job, I can only offer my free
time to this project, and even not 100% of it. But if you will be
willing to accept my contribution, I will be honored to help.

Regards,
--

Welcome hrishabh joshi,

My advice is:

1) use your comunication skill - If you get stuck somewhere, ask a 
question. Participate in discussions. An answer can bring you 
understanding to participation or throw up an important situation.

2) be curious - try things out you are interested in, or you feel 
important. You will learn always something.

3) divide your goal in smaller goals - I found that a lot of things we 
need to do, involve a lot of other stuff you do not see on first sight. 
You have a greater feeling of accomplishment.

4) have endurance - The task we have are not trivial, and sometimes the 
goal seems overwhelming of the path is not visible at all. We need to be 
flexible and try a bit around. (don't forget 1)

5) We are one - Always remember that the AOO Project does see everyone 
as equal volunteer. You are not less worth because you are graduate. You 
have your skill and spirit that you bring to the project, and we respect 
it. Bring that respect back to us. We draw our strength from this.

6) Action is valued - We honor action. If you achive some task you set 
to complete it will be recognized. If this has value for the Project you 
gain merit.

This is the Way! ;) [1]


I assume you want to code?

# Build Apache OpenOffice

# test some open PR pull request - If you can try write a testcase

# try to look into issues

# Try to document code

# Do whatever you think is worth your time


All the Best

Greetings Arrigo and welcome to Apache OpenOffice (AOO). You have already
taken the major step in that you were able to build AOO, initiate the pr's,
and subscribed to dev@.

As an all volunteer project we appreciate and depend on people like yourself
that are willing to give of there free time to contribute in any way that they
can.

You do not need to be any of those things to contribute. An integral of the
"Apache Way" is the emphasis on community over code that allows people to
contribute in the way that they are most comfortable with. Your C and C++
skills are valuable as most of our code is in C++ but also uses some C
constructs.

Many in the AOO community are not native English speakers so that is not a
problem at all. Your English is far superior than what I could attempt at
Italian.

We are all volunteers and give of what time we have to the project. Only you
can know how much of that valuable free time that you can give and we
appreciate that you are willing to give some of it to advance AOO
