| <p>OpenOffice is currently looking for people with the following:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Are you a software developer with C++ skills?</li> |
| <li>Do you have expertise with build systems for different platforms?</li> |
| <li>Are you proficient in English?</li> |
| <li>Do you like contributing to open source projects?</li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>Come and join us in helping OpenOffice to thrive. Subscribe to the |
| <a href="/mailing-lists.html#recruitment-mailing-list-public">recruitment mailing list</a> |
| and introduce yourself. We'll help you get started.</p> |
| <h2 id="why-get-involved-with-the-openoffice-project">Why get involved with the OpenOffice project?<a class="headerlink" href="#why-get-involved-with-the-openoffice-project" title="Permalink">¶</a></h2> |
| <p>Although many want to <a href="https://www.openoffice.org/donations.html">make a small donation</a> |
| to support Apache OpenOffice and the Apache Software Foundation (we appreciate every |
| contribution), some users want to do more and volunteer their time and expertise with |
| the project. There are many motivations for why volunteers participate in an open source |
| project like OpenOffice. Some of the more common ones include:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>To help reduce the "digital divide" by ensuring continued access to free |
| high-quality free productivity applications world-wide.</li> |
| <li>To help bring the benefits of OpenOffice to your country or region</li> |
| <li>To "give back" to open source</li> |
| <li>To learn or practice a new skill</li> |
| <li>To enhance a résumé or portfolio, showcasing the work you've done in this project</li> |
| <li>To support a customer or other commercial venture that relies on OpenOffice</li> |
| <li>To develop credentials for consulting work related to OpenOffice</li> |
| <li>To bring something to OpenOffice that you've always wanted to see done</li> |
| <li>To have fun, working with a close-knit international team of volunteers working on |
| one of the oldest and most famous open source projects around.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h2 id="a-multidisciplinary-open-source-project">A multidisciplinary open source project<a class="headerlink" href="#a-multidisciplinary-open-source-project" title="Permalink">¶</a></h2> |
| <p>You are not a programmer? Don't worry. Our project involves a large range of different |
| skills, levels of involvement and degrees of technical expertise. So, if you want to get |
| involved in OpenOffice, there is almost certainly a role for you.</p> |
| <p>We are looking for people to:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Work on bug reports and try to reproduce them</li> |
| <li>Write new or improve existing documentation and about technical topics</li> |
| <li>Help support new users</li> |
| <li>Test the program and report problems</li> |
| <li>Fix bugs</li> |
| <li>Code new features</li> |
| <li>Design artwork and other marketing materials</li> |
| <li>Translate the UI and help topics to different languages</li> |
| <li>Maintain the website and develop new materials</li> |
| <li>Promote OpenOffice and help explain its benefits</li> |
| <li>Anything you can see that needs doing</li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>All of these contributions help to keep a project active and strengthen the community. |
| We welcome and encourage participation, and try to make it as easy as possible for |
| people to get involved.</p> |
| <h2 id="how-to-get-started">How to get started<a class="headerlink" href="#how-to-get-started" title="Permalink">¶</a></h2> |
| <p>OpenOffice is a large, complex open source project, with a culture developed over many |
| years as an independent project, combined with our experience at Apache.</p> |
| <p>If you are familiar with Apache-style open source development then you might just jump |
| in. Subscribe to the |
| <a href="/mailing-lists.html#recruitment-mailing-list-public">recruitment mailing list</a> |
| and introduce yourself. We'll help you get started.</p> |
| <p>If, however, you are new to Apache, or want a more methodical approach to getting started, |
| then we have a set of graduated |
| <a href="/orientation/index.html">New Volunteer Orientation Modules</a> |
| designed for new volunteers that takes you through a number of background topics related |
| to OpenOffice and how we do things.</p> |
| <p>Which path you take is up to you and is a matter of personal preference. You can even do both.</p> |
| <p>We also maintain a list of specific areas where we need volunteers on our |
| <a href="https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Help+Wanted">Help Wanted</a> |
| page of the wiki.</p> |
| <p>If you are a student, looking to contribute to the project as part of your school work, |
| please also see our <a href="/students.html">Advice for Students</a> |
| page.</p> |
