My journey into programming began with QBASIC in school, sparking a love for coding. Since then, I’ve explored everything from game development to operating system internals, embedded systems to mobile apps – anything that catches my interest. My hobbies include learning random science-y things, binge-watching sitcoms, and working late nights only to fall asleep in the middle of the next day 😛 Before the Google Summer of Code (GSoC), my open-source experience was mostly limited to personal projects. Now, I’m much more comfortable filing bug reports, submitting patches, and engaging in code reviews. I also feel more confident in discussing problems and solutions with people I consider far more knowledgeable than me. What are you working on in the LibreOffice project right now? I recently completed upgrading the .NET Bindings for UNO as part of GSoC 2024. Currently, I’m on a short hiatus for exams and personal projects, but I’ve been chipping away at the next item on my future work checklist: adding support for in-process

In parallel, LU-CIX and its partners build LuxChat, the public version of LuxChat4Gov to offer the same level of security and digital autonomy. By adopting this platform, Luxembourg sets a precedent for achieving digital autonomy while fostering an interconnected and secure communication environment across government entities, and the national Luxchat ecosystem. This is just the first effort to assert Luxembourg’s Digital Sovereignty, through using open-source software which has been tailored to fit the country’s specific needs and that is now operating under Luxembourgish jurisdiction.
