Greetings from the community of programmers of IIT Guwahati and IIT Patna!
This is Gautam Sharma, pursuing a BTech in the Department of Computer
Science and Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati.
I am also Competitive Programming Head at Coding Club, IIT Guwahati. We
at Coding Club, IIT Guwahati were truly awe-inspired by your project
LibreOffice <https://www.libreoffice.org/>! Apart from the wonderful
open-source community that constantly improves and develops LibreOffice,
we would like to invite you to put LibreOffice at CodePeak-2023
<https://www.codepeak.tech/> for contributions!
Every year, the Coding Club, IITG organizes CodePeak, which is a
month-long open-source event organized in collaboration with NJACK, IIT
Patna. The event invites participants to contribute to various projects,
aiming to lay a foundation for future involvement in larger programs
like GSoC and Outreachy. The event targets first-timers who wish to
participate in Free and Open Source(FOSS) Contributions and the
experienced developers who want to show their skills by contributing to
real-world projects.
CodePeak 2023, now in it's third iteration is one of the *biggest
open-source events for Indian college students*, serving as a pre-cursor
for many prestigious events like GSoC and Outreachy. We have had *over
6000 participants*, with *over 150 projects*, and *3800 pull requests*
in the past iterations of CodePeak! The contributors and mentors are
also rewarded handsomely for their efforts towards open source by the
organizers and our respected sponsors! This year, the winners will get a
chance to visit Oxford!
Mentoring LibreOffice at CodePeak 2023 can go a long way, making it
mainstream/known to the untapped talent pool of open-source enthusiasts
who would definitely enjoy contributing to LibreOffice during and after
CodePeak 2023.
Kindly refer to the mentor guide of CodePeak 2023 here

Have GSoC organisers confirmed that participating in CodePeak does not
void eligibility for GSoC?
