Hi Regina,
Thanks for the response.
I want to participate in the core development task. I want to start with
bug fixing. (Prefered language C C++ Java)
Bug fixing is greatly appreciated :)
These are the next steps:
* Our communication is done via dev-mailing list. Currently your mail
has bee moderated; that should not be necessary. So please subscribe to
dev@openoffice.apache.org.
* You need to find an issue, in which you are interested. Some issues
have got the value "easy" or "simple" in the field "Developer
difficulty" in Bugzilla. You can search for that values. But there are
other issues which are easy too, but are not tagged as such. Do you have
a favorite module (Draw, Writer,...) or aspect (UI, filter, help, ...)?
You can constrain the search in Bugzilla to that. Do you know how to do
an advanced search in Bugzilla? Or do you want us to point you to an issue?
* You need to get an own build of Apache OpenOffice. You will made your
changes locally, generate a patch, and attach the patch to the issue.
There are descriptions in the Wiki, how to build OpenOffice. We try to
improve the descriptions continually, but you will likely have questions
when building the first time. Please don't hesitate to ask on the
mailing list.

Kind regards

Thanks,

Hi Everyone,
I am Ankit Kumar Tekriwal from Bangalore, India. I am currently working in
Adobe Systems India Pvt. Ltd. as a software engineer( White box tester).
From past a few months I have been thinking to contribute on open source
development. Today I was going through the open source communities and
found that there are 140 projects that ASF currently works on and there is
an enormous amount of opportunity here to work on.
Yes. It depends on your interests, which of the Apache project fits to
you. OpenOffice has an incredibly wide range of possibilities. You can
contribute to Quality Assurance, Documentation, Marketing, User Support,
Extension development and most wished Core development. Even in Core
development the task vary much. Besides bug fixing - an ongoing task -, for
example implement filters, or complete the ODF features, or modernize the
code, or increase the performance. And all that for text documents,
spreadsheets, presentations, database backend, vector graphics, and charts.
I am new to IT industry as I have joined Adobe a year back only. Please
guide me in my initial steps.
Exited to get started.
I'm sure you will find an area in Apache OpenOffice, which interests you.
Tell us what you are interested in and we will find a mentor to guide you
through the first steps.
Kind regards
Regina
