I'd like to do many task like development, translations, graphic design,
correcting and making user guides. I can't use C++ but I can use html,
php, css, javascript, vba.

Welcome Mike,
I am Peter aka Petko. I am the first contact on recruiter list and try
to explain how we do work and trying to help among others to get
every one who is interested into the project.
We have a tradition of self driven interest. We help you when you get
stuck, but the desicion of what you and how much you want to do is up
to you. :)
The biggest challenge we have is code development. And we always
appreciate everyone who want to try. If you want to do the
contribution in this area we do offer a first entry challenge:
Building OpenOffice at your home. (Guide: [1]) If you get stuck, the
most valueable advise is to ask on the lists.
The most important list for developers is the dev mailing [2] list,
but you are welcome to ask on this list, too. Kepp in mind to mention
if you are not subscribed. Sometimes we miss this. Also if you have
other questions, or do not understand something ask them openly in the
most direct form.
After a successfull build I suggest we talk what you can do next. I
have a list on wiki with fun topics, plus we have some other fun stuff
in reserve that focus on code enhancing. You pick then the next
challenge to take. Step by step. I hope that sounds fine to you.
We do use SVN for versioning, but we offer a github repo, where you
can pull from, but not push to.
all the best
Peter

Hello and Salutations,
I have gone by many monikers over the years, but introduce myself
here under the one which netted me the most financial and educational
gains, 10-Key.
Backstory:
Introduced to the concept of computing at a very young age with a
Turing Machine on pen and paper, I fell in love with the simplicity
and purity that is programming. From there it has been a rather
spotty history I’m afraid.
Beginning with GW BASIC and that banana chucking gorilla, I
enjoyed sifting through other developers code and making small
modifications to learn how things worked. Stepped up to Web Design
for a small car dealership in my preteen years. Went to a technical
college for a C.E.T., and got sidetracked from pure programming with
the beauty of even more knowledge of how it all works. Went on to
create a database system for a family owned video rental store
-Anyone here remember those?- shortly thereafter, and then got my
first introduction to C++.
Thanks to GameInstitute.com, I wrote a 3D rendering engine during
my time as a robotics specialist in the field. Thanks to the long
hours and massive Red Bull and Coffee marathons on that project, a
mistaken install of Java -The steamy liquid kind, not advisable btw-
and my overall paranoia of integrating with society at large, 5 years
of development were scrapped. Learning from that lesson, I now use
Git and am in the process of setting up a file server for home use
while scrambling to recover -RECREATE- those lessons. Other previous
projects include a Management Reporting Suite that imported flat file
data for easier consumption in MS-Excel via VBA, a real time
touchscreen data acquisition project for manufacturing, and a point
and click MS-Access GUI in VB6, among others. More recent endeavors
include the PHP/MySQL stack, the MEAN stack, p5.js data
visualizations, The classic GoF Design Patterns, Neural Net
exploration, and Game Development in Unity.
Having a family, while amazing, does make my efforts at coding
less concentrated than desired, however, approaching the big Four-Oh
I find a need to dig in again and make a contribution. I am unsure
where my skills will come in the most beneficial to the Apache
OpenOffice project, but do have a sense of excitement to be joining a
community working on a piece of software that I have come to adore.
Thank You All
for such an amazing suite, and for the opportunity for this old
man to feel useful once more.
Mike S. [10-key]
