GSoC 2025 Proposal: Loop Modernization in LibreOffice

[Baludu Vamsi]

Dear LibreOffice Developers,

My name is Baludu Vamsi, a first-year B.Tech student in Artificial
Intelligence at SVNIT, and I’m excited to submit my proposal for Google
Summer of Code 2025, titled:

"Incremental Modernization of LibreOffice Core: Converting 500+ Manual
Loops Safely"

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been exploring the LibreOffice codebase with
a focus on modernizing legacy loops by replacing traditional for-loops with
modern range-based loops using clang-tidy. To validate my approach, I’ve
submitted an initial patch to Gerrit (#183604), which gave me valuable
insights into the CI implications of bulk automated changes. Based on these
learnings, my proposal outlines a structured, safe, and CI-friendly
modernization strategy.

I’ve attached the detailed PDF of my proposal for your review:

I’d sincerely appreciate any feedback, suggestions, or guidance—whether
regarding the technical implementation, scope, or collaboration process.
I'm eager to contribute meaningfully and hope to become a long-term
contributor to LibreOffice.

Thank you for your time and support!

Best regards,
Baludu Vamsi
