Hi Deborah, Deborah Digges schrieb: Hi Regina, I looked through the documentation you sent me, but I wasn't able to figure out where exactly to start. Could you please help me out? The code is indeed huge. But you can mimic the solutions you see for rectangles and ellipses. And therefore you should look how it is done for them. You get an overview of the code in https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Source_code_directories. It is not up-to-date, but in most parts are still valid. The sister project LibreOffice has some similar information in http://docs.libreoffice.org/ Although they made some changes in the structure most parts are still the same as in Apache OpenOffice. Besides searching in your local copy of the code you can use OpenGrok http://opengrok.adfinis-sygroup.org Very useful is the 'File Path' field to restrict the search. You can enter a part of a path or you can exclude some paths from the search with a NOT before it. === Such new feature has several aspects, some are necessary, some are not needed in the beginning. Necessary: Read it from file. Keep the information. Write the information back to file. Next step would be to show the shape on screen. I'm not sure whether parts of the API are needed in the beginning. Not necessary in the beginning: - Making an UI to generate the shape. For example OpenOffice has no UI to generate a custom shape. To test a new shape you can always easily write it into the file manually, using an editor. - Having an import and export filter to foreign formats like pptx. - Implementing the API for using the shape in macros (not sure, see above). === Reading and writing to file is done in code part 'xmloff'. Most methods there are generic and will do the right things automatically. You will find some specific parts in e.g. classes SdXML..ShapeContext. Shapes are implemented as Primitive. Such primitive can decompose itself into polylines, which can be drawn directly. Please look, how it is done for rectangle and ellipse in modul svx, e.g in main/svx/inc/svx/sdr/primitive2d and main/svx/source/sdr/primitive2d/. The lower parts of this decomposition is done in module basegfx, e.g. in b2dpolygontools.cxx Shapes are defined as Unitshapes and scaled to the desired size by using a transformation. There you will actually define the outline of the shape. Do you know the involved mathematics? The shape related classes are organized hierarchical. This hierarchy determines, where an attribute is introduced. Find a diagram in http://docs.libreoffice.org/svx/html/classSdrObject.html Or look at http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/openoffice/branches/alg/aw080/main/svx/inc/svx/svdobj.hxx?view=markup around line 285. [The branch aw080 contains ongoing improvement work in Draw, for example change from integer to double and change to always use transformation matrices. The owner of this branch is Armin, our Draw expert.] I hope this will help you to find relevant parts.

Also, the course emphasizes on making code contributions. I am familiar with C,C++ and python, and I am eager to pick up additional skills that are required. Please could you help me in this task, as I am quite new to open source. For this period of time, and due to the complexity of the code base, you might be interested in something more self-contained, like a Content Provider or a data base driver; for example, you can take the idea of a CMIS Content Provider that was part of a Google Summer of Code that wasn't completed; searching the mailing list for the subject CMIS you can find several mails http://markmail.org/search/?q=list%3Aorg.apache.incubator-ooo.dev+subject%3Acmis and the extension skeleton at http://people.apache.org/~arielch/extensions/CMISContentProvider.zip As you'll see, a Content Provider can be developed as an extension, there is no need for you to learn nor modify OpenOffice source code.

Two easy issues that I just filed are here: https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=125583 https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=125584 If you wish to take care of those, just assign them to you (you will need to register for Bugzilla if you haven't already). Feel free to ask here for any clarifications. I have completed the build and install, and have also taken a look at the architecture. To fix the above, it will be handy for you to configure with --with-package-format=installed ; so you will save the time that would be spent in creating DEB packages (assuming your build was done with the default options applying to Ubuntu). If you do come across a project that has the needed mix of mentors, I'd be glad to be a part of it. We could find something nice. Just a clarification: in your first mail, you mentioned you are three students. Shall we find a task (or a collection of tasks) for a team of three people working 8 hours/week for ~3 months or for you only?

Re: proposed student project? freedesktop.org desktop integration for debian
Alexandro said,I am not sure how hard would that be but you can easily setup an environment using a virtualbox with whatever os you need (debian, suse, fedora, or... gulp... windows) and just compile there. what I think is, creating a virtual machine with Ubuntu OS, downloading the source are easier tasks; but compiling is not, depending upon the number of issues you face with while building for KDE, and on the experience of the developer.I too agree with you as to how hard would that be thanks, Amali.

proposed student project? freedesktop.org desktop integration for debian
OpenOffice has been approached by students for a one semester project (approximately 96 hours) involving an open source project, see the following thread-- http://markmail.org/message/2uxfdm2tjh7ei2zl They are using Ubuntu. Recently, we had a post regarding broken desktop integration for debian. See this thread at: http://markmail.org/message/t5i57kr4z4bfffyp After reading this one, I started some research on why/how to integrate freedesktop.org into debian (a system I personally do not use). Not using a debian-based Linux distro, it never occurred to me that only one desktop integration was provided for debian. Would it be beneficial to have the students work on freedesktop integration for our debian builds? I would prepare an issue with pertinent details as far as I am able , but would rely on some of our debian-based developers to fill in some pieces.

I am not sure how hard would that be but you can easily setup an environment using a virtualbox with whatever os you need (debian, suse, fedora, or... gulp... windows) and just compile there. Sure virtual environments are not the best location to do your compilation, however it will get you the basic toolkit set and version that you need. Another more sofisticated option is to use vagrant. Vagrant is aimed for developers that want to have an encapsulating environment, and portable (able to move it between different distros). It does uses virtualization but in a different fashion. http://www.vagrantup.com/ On 9/1/14, Kay Schenk kay.sch...@gmail.com wrote: OpenOffice has been approached by students for a one semester project (approximately 96 hours) involving an open source project, see the following thread-- http://markmail.org/message/2uxfdm2tjh7ei2zl They are using Ubuntu.
