New volunteer
Hello All!
My name is Thomas Seeley. I want to volunteer with OpenOffice to better
familiarize myself with the framework of open source software. This will
also give my something to do while I am convalescing.
My background in programming began with building control systems and
embedded control systems. In the meantime I became a tenured professor of
Computer Science; I've taught many programming languages including C, C++,
and SQL.
Regards,
Thomas E. Seeley, PE

I think our e-mails crossed in the ether. I have just finished updating
the step-by-step instructions to use a different method to download
apt-cyg from its new home, GitHub.
Could you take charge of testing the new instructions? Unfortunately,
the first change is in the initial install of cygwin.
Incidentally, googlecode.com still exists, but it no longer handles apt-cyg.

Hello All,
I have been referred to you to help with a startup issue for newbie
volunteers. The site literature makes reference to resources at a website
called googlecode.com, which no longer exists. Please read the email below
for further details. Do you know of a replacement website for googlecode.com
?

I do seem to have apt-get installed, so the link probably worked when I was
setting up. Could you report this to the dev@openoffice.apache.org list?
Someone else may already know where to find it.
Meanwhile, please proceed using the alternative method described just below
the apt-get line, rerun setup.exe and select the listed packages.

Welcome aboard!
The first step is to build AOO on at least one computer. For windows, I
found the step-by-step guide at
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO/Step_by_step
most useful.
