I'd like to help.

Hello,

I have experience coding, mostly in C and Lisp, not so much in C++. 

If you're full up with coders, I wouldn't mind helping with the documentation, but I've been using (if a lot) only basic features of OpenOffice. My first language is GB English.

Regards,

Peter

currently there is only Andro Office which is a close Source Derivate 
based on OpenOffice.

It shows it is possible, but we did not start a port at this point.

Thank you for the clarification.  Also, is Open office available for mobile
phones?

you might want to look at:

It is about our build environment. Not really CI/CD atm, but maybe you 
can bring yourselfe in to make a step towards it. Would be super cool.

Wow, Andrea. Hmm, okay if we start docker stuff. I would point out that 
the openGrok needs an update, too.

I can provide the setup and Dylan can check if he can create the docker 
for it? - There are official OpenGrok Docker builds, so it should not be 
a big deal.

Would that be a thing?

Sure we do need DevOps, thanks for your availability!

More than for OpenOffice itself, we would need your skills for our web 
applications like https://wiki.openoffice.org/ (read: docker containers 
for local setup; build script pulling the different parts of code from 
the appropriate repositories; CI/CD for automated tests of our plugins 
and ensuring pages don't break).

If you are interested, let us know and I'll make sure you are kept in 
the loop next week, when we'll start dockerizing the wiki site.

Regards,
   Andrea.

Ahh, Currently we do not apply any containers. And the Jenkins facility 
I don't think we have anything that needs to be done there currently.

I have suggested to look into docker for our use, but this requires a 
lot of discussions within the project and with Infra. I plan to do this 
at some point.

I have no estimates ion timing thought.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for letting me know. DevOps deals with orchestration of containers
(e.g kubernetes and docker) to automate the development process, such as
continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) of your
applications/services.  So applications/microservices in the cloud
basically.  Some of DevOps tools are Jenkins, Ansible, Helm, etc.  Writing
custom codes to automate the CI/CD process is a big part of DevOps. And I
want to help out in that area if you have such needs. Of course I will
check out the OpenOffice project on Github as well and see how I can
contribute. Thank you.

I can speak only for OpenOffice. We do not think in roles.

We have only volunteers. And each volunteer tries to bring the project 
forward with his skills and experience.

I am not sure what to recommend someone with DevOps skill, that would 
interest him in doing.

If I were you and looking for something that impresses at the next job 
application, I would join a Project that is

creating a tool I will likely use. I am sorry, that I can not be of 
further assistance. I have no clue what a DevOps engineer knows.

I am a Data Engineer ;) However if you believe in OpenOffice you are 
welcome to look into our code on Github and checkout what you would change.

And we will process the input. With time you will build trust and get 
more access and can influence the project more.


All the Best

Peter

Hello Peter,
I'm a DevOps engr associate.  Does the Apache platform (or OpenOffice
project or any other project on the Apache platform) need/want some DevOps
volunteer work? Or if possible, can you please point me to where I need to
reach out to regarding this? Thank you.

Hi Noel,


I am confused by the Apache reference. Apache is only a Platform that 
hosts Projects and enables volunteer with whatever technical 
Infrastructure a projects needs.

There are over 350 Projects. I am not sure how many are currently in the 
incubator,  which means that they are new.

If you mean OpenOffice, we could use people that go through Bugzilla and 
check if the Open Bugs are still valid. Maybe if there is skill write 
automated tests.

We could use a documentation on automated tests and there is also an old 
list of manual test that could be looked into. Maybe there is more a 
volunteer could do.

And of course we will soon start a new release I hope.


I hope that helps you to give you some orientation.

All the best

Peter

It seems like OpenOffice has been around for a while.  Does Apache have new
applications that need to be tested.

Carl, Peter was not on CC :)

I would like to add that the code is on github. If reading is not so 
your thing, we can talk or you can start and try getting started.

Just ask what you want to know.

All the best

Peter
