Hi everyone, My name is Shlok Kanani (IRC: shlok7532). I am a student interested in applying for GSoC 2026 with LibreOffice.
I have recently started contributing and have already had several patches merged, focusing on code enhancement and cleanup: - *C++ Modernization:* I replaced std::bind with lambdas in multiple modules (sc,sd) and introduced C++20 contains() usage in ScTable. - *Refactoring:* I worked on cleaning up const_cast in SwCursorShell and updating data types in SdrEdgeObj. Currently, I am working on more complex tasks involving the Writer core and legacy cleanup: - *tdf#162563 (Java Applet Cleanup):* I am removing the legacy Java Applet code across the bean, officecfg, and xmloff modules. - *tdf#168272 (Writer Page Break):* I am implementing backend support to allow the InsertPageBreak command to accept a specific Page Style argument directly via the Dispatcher. I am looking forward to contributing more to the Writer core and learning from the community. Any feedback on my current active patches would be greatly appreciated. Best regards, Shlok Kanani
