<DIV>
<DIV>你好 Vincent,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Welcome in the LibreOffice hacking world! Note that you can use your</DIV>
<DIV>chinese name here: we are an international community ;) It would even</DIV>
<DIV>help us to know your chinese name for some important reasons:</DIV>
<DIV> * How could we handle the credits properly for your contributions?</DIV>
<DIV> * To list you on the wiki when you will have sent your license blanket</DIV>
<DIV>statement https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Developers </DIV>
<DIV> * To contact you in case we need it during GSoC.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In the same vein, we would much prefer you to use a more permanent email</DIV>
<DIV>address that this one. GSoC is about helping students to contribute</DIV>
<DIV>during the summer, but also after. Using this email address for commits</DIV>
<DIV>wouldn't be really wise.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

<DIV>> I am Vincent, I am glad to join libreoffice. Following are some information about Me.</DIV>
<DIV>> 1. I am a student from Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, China, major at Computer</DIV>
<DIV>> science. this year is my third-year on university.</DIV>
<DIV>> 2. I am good at C++ programming, and I love open source.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Great! 听说这个大学很好的。More that your university, is there any other</DIV>
<DIV>open source projets you have contributed to, to show your love for Free</DIV>
<DIV>Software?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>> I would like to join libreoffice project on Google Summer of Code.</DIV>
<DIV>> I read some idea listed on</DIV>
<DIV>> https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Gsoc/Ideas.</DIV>
<DIV>> I am quite interested on the idea: </DIV>
<DIV>> Implement a "about:config" functionality</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Nice choice!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>> With this aim, I have took some steps:</DIV>
<DIV>> 1. Read the developer guide on</DIV>
<DIV>> http://www.libreoffice.org/developers-2/ </DIV>
<DIV>> 2. I spent some time on reading the API of libreoffice, which will be a</DIV>
<DIV>> great help to dig into libreoffice code.</DIV>
<DIV>> 3. Follow build guide, I will carry out to build LibreOffice</DIV>
<DIV>> myselves.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Getting the sources and building them is of course mandatory... but</DIV>
<DIV>reading the API is not useful now. The best things to do to start are:</DIV>
<DIV> * Pick an EasyHack and complete it (note that this is required to be</DIV>
<DIV>selected for GSoC):</DIV>
<DIV>https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Easy_Hacks</DIV>
<DIV> * Start hacking on the idea. For this one, you can start playing with</DIV>
<DIV>glade to create the dialog and integrate it in LibreOffice. Read</DIV>
<DIV>caolan's post on that:</DIV>
<DIV>http://blogs.linux.ie/caolan/2013/01/24/converting-libreoffice-dialogs-to-ui-format-100-conversions-milestone/</DIV>
<DIV>Of course starting to have a look at the code you want to hack on will</DIV>
<DIV>help you prepare a realistict application for GSoC.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>> Are there more thing that I need to do before the application? This is</DIV>
<DIV>> my first time to join GSOC, so I am not quite sure about it. can</DIV>
<DIV>> someone give me some tips and help, many thanks!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The more you feel at ease hacking on LibreOffice before the application,</DIV>
<DIV>the best it is.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Best regards,</DIV>
