Looks like this was originally sent to MIT App Inventor, so I guess you 
will pick from multiple projects.


I am Harshal S .I am a freshman, currently pursuing a B.Tech degree at 
NIT Karnataka. I have a fair knowledge of C/C++ and Java , which I 
learned during my high school. I am also learning app development, 
Python, Javascript/CSS and Ruby on Rails with my college peers and 
seniors as a part of my ongoing projects with the technical clubs in 
college .I am a student member at IEEE Compsoc and a part of App 
Development team at IRIS-NITK , a student led organisation that manages 
and has further developed IRIS - an online student- faculty and 
administration database portal.


I came across this organisation and I would like to be part of the 
vision under the mentorship of experienced professionals. I have 
recently started Open source contribution and I am highly motivated to 
contribute further in future projects and learn more, as I look forward 
to start contributing to this organisation. I would really like to be a 
part of this initiative through GSOC 2020. I was wondering if any mentor 
can please guide me in my dedicated attempt to be a part of the 
community and assign me some tasks/bug fixes or projects and check out 
my submission later.


GSoC orgs will only be announced next week, so there is no guarantee 
LibreOffice will participate.


In the case LibreOffice will be accepted, students will be required to 
complete at least one task known as an "easy hack" to qualify.


Please start by building LibreOffice on your computer:

Hello Calvin,

welcome aboard! :-D

First off all, I am not a developer but a contributer of the LibreOffice 
project, but I want to try to help you.

Sir,
2nd: You failed with the first word. Colonial times are happily gone and 
hopefully never come back.
We are a very diverse community, scattered around the globe with all 
kinds of people.
I am Om Pandey , a college student from India , I got to know about 
Gsoc and open source contribution in December 2017 , Since then i have 
been trying to contribute to the open source community
I am in my freshmen year of college and i have been trying to look out 
for ways of contribution to the open source community with all failed 
attempts i am completely lost as what i should do or where i should 
start please guide me so that i can learn to contribute .

Which kind of guidance do you need? In which field do you want to work?
As a first starting point: 
https://www.libreoffice.org/community/get-involved/
I chose to message this organisation as I myself am a vry avid user of 
LibreOffice and use it to document all my files and work and would 
hence like to contribute .
Please guide me as to what is to be done , i know most of the 
technologies which have been listed in your Gsoc page inculding

c++,java,javascript,php,python and many more
Our code base is very complex, legacy, convoluted and needs a lot of 
love and work. Nobody understands it its whole.
So you often need a "specialist" as mentor in the area you want to work. 
But we are all helpful.
But I am not understanding as to what is to be done , where and how to 
start and what to do , I wanted to be a part in Gsoc 2018 , but failed 
due to lack of guidance , please tell me as to what is to be done.
Unhappily, too late for GSoC 2018 for sure, for all projects involved. 
But you can dive in our team, beginning with building the source, 
finding interesting pieces. Also lurking around and asking in our IRC 
dev channel #libreoffice-dev @ freenode.net is not the worst idea. Your 
advantage is then to be more familiar with the code for the next GSoC 
2019 and knowing better yourself what you want and intend to do and what 
not.
I have an entire year to go ,please guide me and I promise that to the 
best of my efforts I shall perform.

Regards,
Yours Truly,
Om Pandey

Great to hear from you =) So - we have a series of easy hacks with
mentors ready to start to get you through the first contribution:

Good to start early, having solved at least one non-trivial easy hack
is really a pre-requisite here.

Hopefully that helps =) great to have you working on the project.

All the best,

Hi Armen,

Welcome! You can start from here: 
http://www.libreoffice.org/community/get-involved/


Regarding GSoC:

AFAIK the participating organizations have not been announced yet, but 
if LibreOffice gets accepted as an organization, then you will need to 
follow the path described here:

I look forward to speaking with you about open source opportunities.
