<div><div style><br class="Apple-interchange-newline">I am writing about the LibreOffice Base project in GSoC 2012. I am interested in open source development particularly in all ex-Sun Micro systems open source products. I am from Pakistan, currently in my junior year of undergraduate studies in computer sciences at FAST-NU Lahore. I have extensive experience of working on open source systems at Software Engineering Research Centre (SERC) at FAST-NU Lahore under the guidance of Dr. Fakhar Lodhi.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>At Software Engineering Research Centre in FAST-NU Lahore I have worked inside the source code of MySQL. My team and I have worked on the solution to various bugs in MySQL namely Bug # 20093, Bug #50675, Bug 54034 and Bug# 50507. We have studied the code base of MySQL extensively. Our next project due in SERC is embedding MySQL/SQLite as a default in LibreOffice Base which happens to be the same thing you want to be implemented in GSoC 2012. We have already started scratch work on it (building LibreOffice and SQLite and then embedding SQLite under Base).</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>There are a few queries regarding GSoC 2012. First, my understanding about your GSoC requirement is that you want SQLite working as a default in place of HSQL database in Base of LibreOffice. The pre requisite written on LibreOffice GSoC profile says that you need to solve one of the Easy Hack Programming Tasks but one of the easy hack programming task matches up with the GSoC 2012 idea of Base. Second, I cannot find out the development mailing list for this project. Please clarify these issues to me.</div>
