Interested in becoming a developer

[Francesco Africano <af...@gmail.com>]

Hi everyone I'm FrAfrica,
I'm a  30 years old italian guy with basically no experience in the world
of open software even if I spent many hours programming in my spare time.
By the way I'm far from being an expert, I'd hardly describe myself as a
coder. In any case I've always been interested in this kind of stuff and
I'd like to learn more and, if it's possible, to lend a hand.

There is a lot to do for the project, from coding to testing, to
translating...

The first steps I can suggest you to follow are:

 1- try building OpenOffice on your operating system of choice.
    Instructions here:
    https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO

 2- the build will take quite some time so you will be able to browse
    through the orientation material (if you did not already):
    http://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/index.html

 3- subscribe to the dev@ mailing list and report if you could build
    AOO successfully -- or any problems that may be stopping your
    build!

I hope to hear you soon there!

Best regards,
