I'm not the guy to ask for help with building issues and easy hacks - you
need to contact the LibreOffice community, which has dedicated persons for
such help - best to go on #libreoffice-dev on IRC (which is all documented
in the links you sent me) and ask them for help with build issues gerrit
issues, easy hack issues. As a criteria I only am interested in merged or
pre-merged issues on gerrit.

As I said in the first reply ... choose an easy hack with the difficulty
"interesting". You've solved an easy hack with the difficulty "beginner"
which is too trivial, which doesn't tell me anything about your skills.
Those are fine for warming up only (to learn the process of development
with LibreOffice and how to use git and gerrit in the project), but the
real deal starts after this one. One would certainly take you more than 1
day to solve. Solving more until the application period will also increase
your chances to be accepted.
