Welcome! It is good to see you here! And GSoC is a very good opportunity 
to dive into the FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) world.

Getting in-to/Understanding a project which has a gigantic code-base 
like LibreOffice might seem intimidating at first, but fear not! It will 
become easier and easier as you gain experience.

Nobody understands the whole code in detail, but we have many core 
developers who each know part of the code in detail. This step by step 
guide shows an easy way going from "wanting to contribute" to 
successfully have the first patch merged to master:
