Hi Tomaz,
I have built LibreOffice from the Source on my Linux machine. I have documented the progress of easy Hacks and steps for building LibreOffice in [1] with attachments. I am not able to push the code on Gerrit because I don't have access, hence I created a patch for "Use hypot function for Pythagorean addition" [2]. I used "hypot" function in place of a ⊕ b = sqrt(a^2+b^2). As, For large values of a or b, there is a possibility of overflow. Please review the patch, and suggest some enhancements to it.
Also can you please suggest, some other tasks which I can work on further? I have already prepared a timeline/planner, great if you could have a look at it and suggest any enhancements.

Hey!
I have completed the tasks you mentioned. And documented everything in this[1] paper. Please suggest changes if required. I picked this bug[2], I was creating a patch for the same, but it seems I don't have access to do so. Can you provide access? I have attached the screenshot of the error.

This project is very exciting to me, thus I have created a timeline for the project, can you provide enhancements and suggestions to it?

Yes, I will work on it. And will give you an update about my work and documentation by the end of the day.

I'm interested in working on the project `Histogram (and other missing) Chart Type` in LibreOffice organization through GSoC'2023.
I am Madhu Patel, a fourth-year B.Tech. student in Computer Science at IGDTUW, with a CGPA of 8.7/10. I have previously interned at Adobe India, Rabvik Innovations, and FM solutions, and I am currently a research intern at IIT Roorkee. I am also working on a research paper on Linux Kernel Evolution for the USENIX publication. Moreover, my research paper on Stock Price Prediction was recently accepted at the IEEE Conference. You can find more information about my work on my LinkedIn and GitHub profiles.Please suggest a few initial tasks I can work on during the application period and attach them to my application. I have already prepared a timeline/planner, great if you could have a look at it and suggest any enhancements. Additionally, I have signed in to the mailing lists, and IRCs and done the initial tasks as described on the project page [1]I'm not suggesting any initial tasks - GSoC students in the application period should work on easy hacks (at least one with the difficulty "Interesting"). Start by building the LibreOffice from the source, check some trivial easy hacks and start working on the more "interesting" easy hacks. The easy hack is probably the most important as it will show to us that you have the skills to complete the project. After you have completed that, then we can talk about the details of the project and what should be written in the proposal.Regards, Tomaž
