<div dir="ltr">Hi, I'm an engineering student from India. I'm
interested in participating in GSoC by contributing in

Welcome! It is good to see you here! And GSoC is a very good
opportunity to dive into the FOSS (Free and Open Source Software)
world.<br>
<br>
Getting in-to/Understanding a project which has a gigantic code-base
like LibreOffice might seem intimidating at first, but fear not! It
will become easier and easier as you gain experience.<br>
<br>
Nobody understands the whole code in detail, but we have many core
developers who each know part of the code in detail. This step by
step guide shows an easy way going from "wanting to contribute" to
successfully have the first patch merged to master:
