OpenOffice.org meets Seneca College
If you look at the list of potential projects proposed to Seneca College ( Toronto, Canada) students, you'll see there is a link ( will be updated soon) to the OpenOffice.org Education Project Effort.
This is just a link at the moment, because we'll have to adapt and do some cleanup the proposed projects to the need.
From our side, we propose , with an -as precise as possible- frame, and well defined goals, little Projects for one or two students working as a binom. If you want to compare, Seneca introduces the projects to students the potential projects way.
How things happened ?
Seneca College has students, and has so close relationship with Mozilla. Recently, it was decided to join other Communities, to make the Seneca College participation in it grow.
From our side the OpenOffice.org needs volunteers, and developers
The idea is to propose the students, e.g. fixing a little bug, or writing a little feature for OpenOffice.org. At the end, if everything is successfull, validate the content.
The actors now :
Fardad Souleimanloo, Chris Tyler, and David Humphrey, all Professors at Seneca College, were presented to me.
Louis Suarez Potts, the OOo Community manager was invited too, and during an IRC meeting, where , we completed the presentations, discussed and explained more about our respective expectations.
Fardad will join our Team, and we'll work together.
To continue the Effort, I am preparing new subjects ( ~10 ) for students, and I'll add them to the existing list.
Waiting, volunteers are welcome to help us to prepare as much as possible of projects, and have Fun writing code (this is what I prefer to be honest :))
I expect great news soon. Stay tuned :)
