| <p>Many OpenOffice community members will be attending <a href="https://fosdem.org/2013/">FOSDEM</a>, one of the most important Free Software and Open Source events in Europe, in Brussels next weekend.</p> |
| <p>Apache OpenOffice has a dedicated track (devroom) on Saturday 2 February, all day. The <a href="https://fosdem.org/2013/schedule/track/apache_openoffice/">devroom schedule</a> includes talks from experienced full-time developers and new volunteers, spanning all development-related topics around OpenOffice: deep technical previews and live demos of what is coming in version 4.0, tutorials on scripting and programming Apache OpenOffice, development-related use cases and tips and tricks for developers of extensions and writing aids.</p> |
| <p>Hackers who want to test their skills on OpenOffice shouldn't miss the <a href="https://fosdem.org/2013/schedule/event/apache_openoffice_hacking/">Hacking Apache OpenOffice</a> session, where experienced professional and volunteer OpenOffice developers will give advice on the best ways to get started. And the next step will be to tackle one of our <a href="https://issues.apache.org/ooo/buglist.cgi?f1=cf_fix_difficulty&o1=equals&resolution=---&query_format=advanced&v1=easy&list_id=42478">easy</a> or <a href="https://issues.apache.org/ooo/buglist.cgi?f1=cf_fix_difficulty&o1=equals&resolution=---&query_format=advanced&v1=simple&list_id=42478">simple</a> development tasks...</p> |
