Re: gsoc2019

Hi Shubham Verma,

Welcome to LibreOffice! It is nice to see you are interested in applying for a GSoC project. Having skill/knowledge/experience in programming, and especially in C++ helps a lot while working on the LibreOffice code-base.

As the student application date for GSoC is approaching, we suggest you to

* Go through the LibreOffice development getting started page [0]
* Start with solving some 'beginner' easyHacks [1]
* Solve at least one 'interesting' easyHack
* Start discussing your ideas with possible mentors, and preparing your proposal
* Don't leave your proposal to the last day. Sooner is better.

Also checking the GSoC ideas page first, and trying to choose the easyHacks related to your probable idea(s) might be a good idea [2], and perhaps also the page for ideas without a mentor yet [3].

If you ever get stuck (after doing the usual leg-work (re(search), try, debug etc.) yourself), please don't hesitate to ask your questions either on the #libreoffice-dev IRC channel, or on this mailing list.

Regards

Hello Dear Sir,

My name is Shubham Verma. I am a B tech 2nd-year I.T. student and I would like to look into working with LibreOffice for the Google Summer of Code 2019.

I have just recently started learning and looking into the contributions that I can make to GitHub issues. As this is my first GSOC  I wanted to know what other things I have to do to be part of an organization.

I mentioned my interest and project on which I want to work on below, have a look at that and tell me what will be good for me. I want to work on the project under the guidance of yours. and I want to ask you if you have a particular long-standing idea on which I can work.

I would be grateful if you can tell me if there's anything else that I could do which would be appreciated. Any further guidance or inputs would certainly be of great help.

Thank you!
