OpenOffice.org project day at FOSS.IN

Theme: Building the Indian OpenOffice.org contributor community

Date: 5 December

This project day is meant to give existing developers and contributors a platform to share their knowledge and discuss the roadmap(s) for their work with the aim of teaching new, technically knowledgeable contributors how to contribute to OpenOffice.org. Our goal is to expand the developer base for OpenOffice.org in India.

Presented below is our schedule. It's quite likely to change as circumstances demand, and as this is a day focused on building the local community, we urge you to come with questions and curiosity.
