Becoming an OpenOffice.org developer
Your first build
You are at the start of a long, but very exciting journey! There are many ways to get started, but the easiest one is to:
- Get the source code and build you own OpenOffice.org so that you are able to modify things
- Pick up your favorite bug/annoyance, and try to fix that
- When you see that hacking OOo pleases you, it's time to look for bigger tasks, get in contact on IRC
