Re: Greetings LibreOffice Community : GSOC Queries

Hi

Please have a look at:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/GetInvolved
As I cannot see any patches from you.

As stated on the wiki pages, you need to have completed easyHacks to be qualified.

I am the mentor of the GSoC idea, and I invite you to take a look at
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=96020
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=96021

and of course try to run the make.

The first step, is to make a proposal (according to the GSoC guidelines). Once we agree on the 
proposal, it needs to be submitted and then it will be evaluated together with other proposals. An 
Organization gets in general, allowance to accept X students, and if there are more proposals the 
org. decides which ones to select.

Your experience looks like a good fit for the job, there is another student also interested, but it 
might be possible to share the work.
