My Introduction

[Jupiter Weinman <my...@gmail.com>]

 Hello Members of Apache OpenOffice,

    My name is Matthew Weinman. I am interested in gaining knowledge
and experience
in the field of technical writing. I am a published author of fiction,
which I know is
much different, and have recently graduated from a small college with an English
degree.

    I know very little about the field of technical writing, but feel
with my background
I would be able to develop the skills necessary to make a career in
tech-writing.
Since I've never been in a group such as this, I'm wondering, "How do I even
get started?"

    The, 'Introduction to Contributing,' page advised me to send an
email to this
account, then, I would be on the mailing list. I'm excited to start and any
information on the field of technical writing would be much appreciated.

Thank you.


Sincerely,

Matthew Weinman

Welcome Matthew,
I recommend that you join our documentation team.

You will probably find more details as you go through the orientation 
guides, but the mailing list where we coordinate documentation 
activities is the doc list:

To get started, please make sure you read

Regards,
   Andrea.
