GSOC 2013 Candidate

Greetings,

My name is Ivan Alexandru, I am a second year undergraduate at Politehnica
University of Bucharest, and I am very much interested in working on
LibreOffice during this year's Summer of Code. I have a good understanding
of C/C++ and have used them in the two years at the university but never to
work on such a large project. In addition, I am familiar with Java, and also
have basic to medium understanding of Python and functional languages like
Scheme and Haskell.

I have already cloned the repo and built LO under linux. Moreover, I have
worked on this easyhack https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60700
and submitted a patch. This, being a first for me, I mistakenly submitted it
to the wrong branch https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/3400/  but realized
my error and resubmitted to master https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/3401/
. As you can probably see, it ended up not being much to do, although the
bug is almost fixed, at least for the examples at hand.
I would like to know if this counts towards being eligible, as mentioned in
the application guide, or should I begin working on another easyhack to be
sure?

Also, I have taken a look through the ideas page. Two of them have captured
my interest, namely the one regarding Table Styles in Writer and the one
concerning ODF Formulas.  I have a couple of questions about these:
Which of these do you consider more important? (and if neither are on the
priority list, please point me to one that is) 
Are there any other resources I should be aware of in order to get
accustomed with the project, aside from the given code pointers?

Thank you for your time,
Alex Ivan
