Sounds like you have a great skill set :-) welcome to LibreOffice. > I am really interested in Android Application Development.

In general though we're trying to significantly reduce LibreOffice's dependence on Java - since we can't rely on it being there on Windows, and of course the first use pays a very heavy JVM bootstrap penalty. > My skill set includes: C/C++, Java, basic Python, Android Application > Development. It's a good set; have you considered this project: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Gsoc/Ideas#Package_and_improving_LibreOffice_Viewer_for_Android It might match your skills well. > Currently, I am going through the pointers provided.

Failing that - there was a task to do some work on pluggable python UI that Matus might be able to specify / mentor you for: to allow arbitrary python scripts / extensions to render arbitrary UI elements in place of our current toolbars / menus. That might fit your skill set well if you're interested in UI hacking. Matus - when you've done your setup / heavy-lifting there it would be great to get a GSOC task specced up here.
