    Mission

    To focus, for one weekend, on LibreOffice Impress:

    • get into the code that is on stage with boatloads of presenters each year
    • go bug hunting, and help bug fixing
    • find paper cuts, and look into usability - life on stage is stressful enough without your software acting up
    • have a good time, and get to know new people!

    Taking Part

    We highly welcome new people to join this sprint (such as local students, Ph.D. students etc.). It offers a great opportunity to learn how a big software project works, to improve skills and to get in touch with interesting people.

    We need:

    • people who would work as testers, report bugs, provide presentations which demonstrate bugs, etc.
    • people who know C++ reasonably well to fix bugs.

    If you are interested, please add yourself to the list of participants below (wiki registration required) and/or contact the organizer.

    Of course, spreading this information to potentially interested people, is appreciated as well.

    If you have concrete ideas on what to work on, or concrete questions to ask, please add this to the detailed proposals page - that page is work in progress, please add/amend/fix at will!

    Main Venue

    The Sprint will take place at the Beyer-Building Room 103 on the Dresden Technical University main campus' physics faculty

    Travel and Accomodation

    From Friday to Sunday, TU Dresden will host participants in their guest house (OSM location).

    If you want to stay extra days, please contact them directly, or alternatively use one of the following affordable accomodations:

    A&O Ho(s)tel DD-Hauptbahnhof (Strehlener Str. 10) (OSM location).

    Andor Hotel Europa (Strehlener Str. 20) (OSM location).

    Public Transport

    Exit at Dresden Main Station, then head south, following Fritz-Löffler-Strasse, which turns into Bergstrasse. Once you've left the train station, looking south, you can already spot the observatory atop the red-brick Beyer-Building (where the venue is located). Walking distance is approximately 15 minutes.

    Or take front exit from Main Station, and take tram line 3 or 8 heading south (direction Coschütz or Südvorstadt). Get off the tram after two stops (at Nürnberger Platz), find the red-brick Beyer-Building roughly south-east from you. Or take front exit from Main Station, and take bus line 66 heading south (direction Coschütz or Mockritz). Get off the tram after two stops (at technische Universität), find the red-brick Beyer-Building in front of you.
