Hi Jitesh,

Welcome to the LibreOffice project!

Please take a look at the 'How to apply' section of our GSoC page for
the basic information you'll need to know about us and the way that we
work with Summer of code students:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/GSoC#How_to_apply

We're a strong proponent of people jumping in and hacking on the code,
so please clone the LibreOffice repo and take a look at the Easy Hacks
page:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Easy_Hacks#Easy_Programming_tasks

The developers' IRC channel is at #libreoffice-dev

Doing some QA work can be a great way to learn more about LibreOffice.
The QA Team is very friendly and always happy to introduce new people
to the project. Please feel free to join us in #libreoffice-qa and let
us know that you're an applicant for GSoC.

On a more personal note, I'm excited that you're interested in the
Firebird database work. Replacing HSQLDB has been a long-standing
request, and we'd all benefit from your work on this task. Good luck
with your application!

Cheers,
