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.
Great! Welcome to LibreOffice!
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.
We don't use GitHub at all for the LibreOffice project. What you see on
our GitHub repo is just a read-only mirror.
The answer you got on the dev mailing list still stands mostly:

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 Additions - Tight integration of extensions like
GHNS! and 100 paper cuts under the guidance of yours. and I want to
ask you if you have a particular long-standing idea on which I can work.
Both sound good.
For the 100-paper-cuts idea, you will need to go thorough the list of
the paper-cuts,[0] and select 15-20 of them, preferably related to the
same or similar part(s) of the code-base. Write a draft with them, and
ask for input/opinion from me or Samuel Mehrbrodt.
For the "Additions - Tight integration of extensions like GHNS!" idea,
you will need to investigate the current situation of the extensions
website,[1] and the extension manager, go through the initial idea and
the blog post[2] by Heiko Tietze, try to refine the idea, and come up
with a final design. Attending design meetings[3], and also discussing
the idea with Heiko Tietze and me would help a lot. Beware that this is
a very nice project idea, but might need some preliminary work to give
it a final shape, preferably before submitting your final proposal.
Otherwise, it might cause you to lose some time at the beginning of the
GSoC timeline.
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.
If you are going to go with the 100-paper-cuts idea, here is a nice
easyhack of 'interesting' level:

Any other 'interesting' easyhack, that you feel interested, would also
be good.
Thank you!
Best,
Muhammet
