You are really late and would need to solve an easy hack and write a
proposal.

Our instructions for GSoC can be found at
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/GSoC/Ideas and the
instructions for getting involved which you need for an easy hack can be
found at https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/GetInvolved

But have a look at the 2018 GSoC page in our wiki

application requirements, which
will very likely be the same for 2019.

Hi Nick,

welcome to LibreOffice and great to see your interest in this topic. Please 
submit a proposal at the official GSoC page. I suggest to use a certain number 
of solved paper cuts for the milestones. In particular we want to check the 
progress at the first evaluation.

Cheers,
Heiko

First note that GSoC organization selection has not been completed and that
organization announcement is only in mid of February. However this should
not stop you getting involved as starting early usually leads to better
proposals and better chances of showing your skills through Easy Hacks.

Our project ideas list can be found at
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/GSoC/Ideas and some general
information about GSoC at LibreOffice at
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/GSoC. (Note that only the
organization application info have been updated for 2018 yet).

You should start by cloning LibreOffice and building the first time. After
that start with an Easy Hack in an area that looks interesting to you.

Markus

So, I would expect that the actual dialog won't need to be changed at
all. We have a PrinterInfoManager for unix which I think is the best
place to start and try to integrate this. There is one class
CUPSManager that inherits from this for "cups" I suggest adding another
for whatever this is called and there the implementation to get the
list of printers and printer properties can be added following the
existing cups implementation.

I don't think we do, its just fire and forget I think, i.e. we call
cupsPrintFile and hope for the best.

One thing that might turn into a problem is getting the list of
available printers. IIRC for cups we start a thread to collect the list
of printers fairly early in the process and it can get a little
complicated. Nothing too serious to worry about at the start, just keep
it simple and collect freshly the list of printers when requested to
get up and running, but maybe something to consider once basic
functionality is working.

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/gerrit Aveek should
follow the setup there to get registered in gerrit and patches can be
submitted there. gerrit builds the patches and typically the various
clang plugins active will flag code policy gotchas. Should really only
need to get libreoffice built fully once, at that point there's
probably no need to keep up to date with head, so once the full thing
is built and modifications are made in vcl, incremental builds of make
vcl.build will be sufficient and the in-tree ./instdir/program/soffice
will "just work"

I won't commit to being a full time mentor, but I can help and be the
LibreOffice contact. So you can put me on CC on anything submitted to
gerrit and I'll help get things bootstrapped and working. I'm on
freenode irc most work days for anything that may arise.

I've outlined the relevant classes above, so I'd suggest, get
libreoffice built once, copy the CUPSManager class and add trying this
new backend before falling back to the cups one, stub out the new
implementations methods and make sure its getting called and fill out
the stubs with the new backend.

The dialog will have to look up the available backends and then do

show the list of all printers found via ll backends.


2. If the user chooses a printer to display its options (or get any 
detailed properties of it) call the function to query properties and 
options of the backend the printer comes from.


3. If the user sends off the job for printing, call the send-job

4. If LO provides some kind of job monitoring, use the backend's list

The main question for me is what format/mechanism is provided by the
user of the backend as the print transport format/mechanism, e.g. if
it's simply (like cups) "give me the pdf to print" then it's relatively
easy. If it's (like GtkPrintOperation) "here's a cairo context, render

So IIRC we did a review in 2009 of the gtk print dialog, and then
another review in 2012 and its now 2017 and apparently there will be a
new dialog in around two years :-)

Well, I'd *like* to use the gtk print dialog personally. The
reoccurring  problem is typically spreadsheet printing. You can see in
our own dialog in calc that when printing the "range" is "range and
sheets" with selection of what sheets to print and the range from those
sheets. The gtk print dialog just offers what pages to print. Gnumeric
works around this in the standard gtk print dialog with putting a
custom "gnumeric print range tab" which is distant from the page range
to print. It's not a good fit.

Multiple pages per sheet is another problem, the gtk one is more
limited than the offerings of the LibreOffice one.

Providing a preview which updates as you change the selection or
options is another problem.

What it means to change the paper size/orientation in the printer
dialog when the application supports multiple paper sizes and
orientation in the document is an open question I suppose.

If anyone has good ideas about how to make the existing gtk dialog not
a miserable experience for spreadsheet printing that'd be cool.
Otherwise I guess defaulting to the current GTK dialog is probably not
going to fly. Maybe the next one will solve all these problems.

Welcome, have a look at our GSoC page 
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/GSoC 


In order to qualify for GSoC in LibreOffice, you need to have solved at least 
one non-trivial easyhack (so we know how you program). You can find our guide 
to build libre office and solve easyhack here:

Hi,

Please make sure that you read
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/GSoC/2015#How_to_apply.

Completing a non-trivial easy hack is a hard requirement. Also, if you
would like to came up with your own project idea, you need to make sure
that someone is willing to mentor that. If you choose an idea from the
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Gsoc/Ideas page, then
mentors are already available for those tasks.

 Hi

 I am Pratyush Nalam, an undergraduate sophomore from IIT Bombay, India. I
 want to participate in Google Summer of Code with LibreOffice and I was
 going through the FAQs and the wiki. Stupid as this may sound, I didn’t
 find anywhere how to get a copy of the code so that I can start on one of
 the Easy Hacks tasks. I will be glad if someone can help me out in this
 regard.

 You should find all the important steps how to build at
 https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Native_Build

 If you still have problems building feel free to ask for more details

 Regards,
 Markus

Great to meet you :-)

 I want to participate in Google Summer of Code and I would like some
 help to get me started.

Sure - so, I would get a Linux machine installed, and get your first
build going - I'd start with an Easy Hack - in previous GSOC's a
requirement for getting considered was having submitted a patch to the
project first: so we can be sure people are familiar with and able to go
around the development loop. eg. removing an unused method from
unusedcode.easy and submitting a patch.

Getting start is fairly easy, you need to read:

http://www.libreoffice.org/developers-2/

And reading Julien's nice links would be a good tip too.

Hope that helps :-)

Michael.

Hi,

You must know that most of code is in C++. Some parts are in C, Python,
others in Java and there's even a few assembly. There's also some Perl.
LO project uses Git to manage sources so if you don't know it at all, you
can take a look here :
http://book.git-scm.com/

A good start would be to retrieve and compile sources. You'll find more
information here :
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Native_Build
Then you can dive into the code with this : http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/

Finally you should tell what would interest you : Calc, Writer, Impress,
Base ..., UI, extension, etc.

Julien
