Google Summer of Code (GSoC) is a global programme focused on bringing more student developers into open source software development. LibreOffice took part last year, which led to some great new features including a QR code generator and NotebookBar improvements.
And in 2020, we’re in GSoC again! Six projects have been selected, which are due to be implemented over the summer:
- Add Impress shape animations that use a real physics engine (Sarper Akdemir)
- Extending the UITest framework (Ahmed ElShreif)
- Blurry Shadows (Ahmad Ganzouri)
- Styles Inspector (Shivam Kumar Singh)
- Move the gallery code to use ZIP files (Aditya Sahu)
- Additions – Tight integration of extensions (Yusuf Keten)
Good luck to all of the students, and we look forward to seeing the results at the end of summer.…
