Objective: help beginners willing to contribute, to discover the development side of OpenOffice.org project, and try to solve, or at least provide some light to : " What, Where, Who, How , Whom ask ..." questions any newcomer asks. The logs will be put on the wiki, thus all the community will be able to access the knowledge, and I expect to see the developers I contacted to confirm they will contribute. Because this is the first one, we'll start with the beginning, and I'll (exceptionaly) start myself the ClassRoom. Proposed Date: Wednesday 7th of May 2008, Hour : 11:00 ( Paris hour ) ~ 14:30 India hour ( i.e; Vincent hour ;-) ) Mode: as IRC meeting. Server : irc.freenode.net Channel : #education.openoffice.org Content : Part 1: 1) Discover the OpenOffice.org project Other points, suggested by Vincent Vikram : 2) where is the code 3) I got the code ... now where do I start in the code ? 4) What do I need to know in advance 5) How good is the documentation documentation Part 2: Questions from the attendees Part 3: Round table with students, and developers, + define the agenda for the next ClassRooms, including other questions to be prepared in advance Suggestions ? Opinions ? Last but not least, please note carefully: - we have choosen the IRC way, because unfortunaly, not everybody has a nice Internet connexion, with good bandwidth, and so on. - if you have a proposal for a better way of communication, please propose, and organize it !! - Everything about the content (the log), and _after_ the presentation (comments, additional links ..etc) will be on the wiki - ALL contributions are WELCOME : means such thing will work if and only if _several_ people join the effort and contribute, because we have to do everything from scratch. Action Item: can someone take over to announce the thing on the Education Project Blog ?
