Calligra/First Contact

Developers interested to join, please read.

Hello and Welcome.

• Recommended skills for Calligra software developers are:
  • C++ advanced knowledge
  • Qt development skills
  • Practice of development for KDE are welcome

Specific knowledge like graphics processing for Krita or database-related knowledge for Kexi is not required but may be a plus for some tasks. Linux/Unix/Mac OS X and MS Windows developers are welcome but please note that x86 Linux is the development environment of most (if not all) Calligra Developers.

Please write to the [email protected] mailing list and answer these generic questions that would help to proceed:

1. what projects have you contributed to (type of projects, provide links if possible)?
2. what are your skills regarding to: C++, Qt Framework, KDE Development Frameworks
3. do you have specific skills like graphics processing or database knowledge?
4. how much time for the project have you got? (examples: 4 hours twice a week, or weekends)

Additional information is welcome:

1. are you student or full time developer?
2. have you got permanent internet connection?
3. do you speak/read/type (at least) "internet" english?

You would need to study quite a bit and look around.

You can study information on how to develop/contribute on Calligra wiki pages, especially the Getting Started section and how to build Calligra from the source code or how to report bug.

And depending on your skills you can in particular look at the Junior Jobs page.

          Have fun!

Should any question arise please ask on the calligra-devel mailing list.
