[22:06] <Cremlae> Sure!
[22:06] <Cremlae> I am not sure what to say still.
[22:07] <Cremlae> I'll be working on the integration of the Mac OS X Address Book into OpenOffice.org.
[22:07] <Cremlae> I'm a recent graduate of the Colorado College, and I'll be attending UCLA next year, in their PhD program.
[22:08] <Cremlae> I'm very excited because I have never before contributed to an open source project before, and I can't wait for the summer to begin.
[22:09] <Cremlae> How is that?
[22:09] <plipli> OK
[22:10] <plipli> Cremlae: you ll be on rail very wuikcly, don t worry
[22:10] <Cremlae> plipli: Thank you for the encouragement :)
[22:11] <ericb2> Cremlae: excellent. what is your first opinion abotu the Mac port of OpenOffice.org ( I'll ask again at the end of SoC ;) )
[22:13] <Cremlae> ericb2: A good question. I've only been listening on the mailing list briefly, so I can't talk much about the development of it, but as a user, I have been awaiting the release of the native port for a long time. I rarely use the current version (using X11), if only because I have to get used to the different key-bindings of other PCs.
[22:14] <Cremlae> ericb2: As for the community, so far everyone has been extremely nice :)
[22:14] <ericb2> Cremlae: thank you :)
[22:15] <ericb2> Cremlae: I'm sure you'll test the aqua verson soon. Of course, there is a lot of work, but this is the begining
[22:15] <ericb2> s/verson/version/
[22:16] <Cremlae> ericb2: It's exciting to be a part of that "lot of work" :)
[22:18] <ericb2> Cremlae: I remember I fxied some Mozilla adress book bugs, and I have some infos where some relevant code can be. But there is no guarantee :)
[22:18] <ericb2> Cremlae: OpenOffice.org code is .. ocean of code
