Re: Regarding G-SoC 2020

Hello Akhil,

It is nice to see that you are interested in GSoC & LibreOffice. 
However, please be informed that although LibreOffice has been 
participating for a number of years at GSoC, the mentoring organizations 
for GSoC 2020 have not been announced yet.

Anyway, to contribute to LibreOffice code-base, you can start by 
following the steps described here: 
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/GetInvolved

As you will also see on the page linked above, we have a number of 
easyHacks (bug reports suitable for new developers). Starting by solving 
a number of 'Beginner' easyHacks, and then switching to 'Interesting' 
easyHacks seems like a proper course to follow.

For GSoC applications, you are required to solve at least one 
'Interesting' easyHack. (Preferrably an easyHack related to your GSoC 
proposal.)

List of Easy Hacks by required Skill: 
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/EasyHacks/by_Required_Skill

The GSoC Ideas page: 
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/GSoC/Ideas

Welcome aboard, and may it be easy! :)

Best,
Muhammet
