Dear Hossein,
I hope you are doing well. My name is Adarsh Gupta, and I am submitting
my proposal for Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 2025 with LibreOffice. My
project focuses on *Re-designing the Notebookbar using Native Toolkit
Widgets*, with the goal of improving UI consistency, maintainability,
and toolkit compatibility by replacing custom widgets with the VCL weld
mechanism.
*About Me*
I am currently pursuing my M.Tech in Computer Science at IIT Bombay,
with a strong interest in open-source development, UI frameworks, and
software engineering. I have experience in C++, GTK, and UI design, and
I have actively contributed to open-source projects like IfcOpenShell,
Organic Maps, and ScummVM. My technical background, combined with my
passion for clean and maintainable UI frameworks, makes me excited about
contributing to LibreOffice through this project.
*My Contributions & Interests*
I have explored the LibreOffice codebase, set up the development
environment, and studied the VCL weld mechanism. I am eager to start
contributing, and I would appreciate any guidance on how I can begin
working on relevant issues related to the Notebookbar or UI redesign.
*Seeking Feedback & Guidance*
I have attached my GSoC proposal for your review. I would love to get
your feedback on how I can improve my approach and implementation plan.
Additionally, if you could suggest any *tasks or issues* that I can
start working on right away, I would be happy to contribute before the
official coding period begins.
The requirement for applying is to solve at least one
difficultyInteresting easy hack:

It does not have to be related to your proposal(s).
It should be done early enough that mentors have a reasonable amount of
time to evaluate it before the 29 April project selection deadline.
