We have applied for a working group meeting on "LibreOffice Development and Extensification Works in Turkey" and our application was accepted. I think people need encourage to start contributing major project like LibreOffice. We were there to show that someones working on LibreOffice in Turkey. We talk about our contribution stories. At the end of the session we talked with attendees why people don't contribute the LibreOffice in our country. Our meeting was attended by about 30 people. The results are following:
- Free softwares are not promoted enough.
- No time to contributing the free softwares (workers in other jobs)
- Do not dare (students)
- Don't know how to start
Our time was not enough for what we want to talk at all. I think people who never contribute the major free sofwares, don't know how nice feeling to be in LibreOffice community. I know that we need organize more workshop for people to experience this feeling.
The contributing LibreOffice is a war of libertation. We have to spare time to win our freedom.
