Re: Open Source Hackathon Mentorship Invitation
Hello Misha, First I would like to thank you for taking the time to reach out to the community here. The work you are doing seems quite exciting and certainly appears to fit well with the goals of The Document Foundation. I suspect the biggest hurdle at the moment is time, or lack thereof, with regards to this years HackIllinios event. What I would like to propose is to set about working towards having a mentor at the 2021 event, giving time to both recruit a developer and to look at what coding projects would fit well with both your students and the LibreOffice code base. On the subject of coding projects I noted in reviewing the previous work done at the HackIllinios events there seems to be strong use of Python for projects. LibreOffice is predominantly written in C++ but also supports the ability to integrate extensions to the application using python as the development language and perhaps that is something which could fit well here. Of course someone may yet jump in here regarding this years event, but should that not happen, what I would like to do is to add your event to the community calendar so that next year the effort on our side can begin earlier. Best wishes for the success of this years event.

Open Source Hackathon Mentorship Invitation
Hello, My name is Misha Patel and I’m reaching out on behalf of the HackIllinois Outreach team. HackIllinois is a 36-hour collegiate Open Source hackathon that takes place annually at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. This year, it will be from February 28th-March 1st, 2020. Our mission is to introduce college students to Open Source, while giving back to the community. We strive to create a collaborative environment in which our attendees can learn from and work with developers to make their own contributions. In past years, we’ve had developers from prominent projects such as npm, Rust, and Apache come to mentor students from our pool of 900+ attendees. We’d love it if you could pass along this message to the LibreOffice community or any individuals you believe would be interested. We will provide meals throughout the event and can reimburse for travel and lodging up to a certain amount depending on where in the US people are coming from. More information on mentorship can be found at hackillinois.org/mentor. You can also visit opensource.hackillinois.org to see what kinds of projects were represented at our event last year. We'd be more than happy to discuss this further. Please have any interested individuals contact us at opensou...@hackillinois.org. Looking forward to hearing back! Best, Misha Patel HackIllinois 2020 Outreach Director misha.pa...@hackillinois.org ___ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
Regarding Open Source Hackathon
Hello, I am Sunveer, high school student from India, Open Source Developer. Google Code-in 2017 Grand Prize Winner. In India there are very few hackathons and especially for High School students, due to this issue high school students are lagging behind the skills they want to learn and the interest they have in this field. So, I am planning to host an Open Source Hackathon for high school students named Hack High ( https://hackhigh.github.io/ ), this hackathon's main motive is to make high school students to get to know about programming and this event will be help these young developers to enhance their skills. And especially, this hackathon will focus on Open Source, and workshops on Programming, geospatial data, OSGeo umbrella organizations and many other Open Source orgs and much more! And it is understandable that hackathon cannot run without sponsors and I alone cannot afford to host that. So if you are interested in Sponsoring us, to help Indian high school students, that will be really helpful. Or instead of money swag and a workshop in the event can be helpful! -- Thank You Sunveer Singh http://sunveersingh.me/ ___ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice

Here are the beginner UI EasyHacks: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Easy_Hacks/lists/by_Topic#Skill_Level:_Beginner They are supposed to be reasonably easy and user visible. If they are not, please let us know, as EasyHacks that are not easy are not how it should be and we should fix that then ;) Best, Bjoern ___ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
Hackathon
Hi, We (Turkish contributors) are going to attend an hackathon on 23rd Jan at İstanbul. The hackathon is going to take one day. We have an idea and want to ask your opinion. We want to make bug submission easy for the end users. There was a project "Bug Submission asistant" (http://dachary.org/?p=886). I think that project no longer developed. We think a button or menu entry would be better to submit a bug instantly. For the first usage it should want to bugzilla username and password. after, when the button clicked, a function should pick system informations( OS name, version and LibreOffice version) and show a dialog to defination bug to user. After, the function should forward the bug to bugzilla. What do you think about it? And we have two team and need one or two idea more. Do you have a suggestion can be done in one day?

[Libreoffice-qa] BSA conversations at Hackathon
Hi all, Reporting-in from the hackathon in Milan regarding some discussions we've had about the BSA. --- Passed-in Variables: Right now the BSA doesn't receive any variables passed-in from LO due to the way that it's embedding in an iframe, but Cloph and Rob think that we can solve that problem by taking most of the BSA out of the iframe, and just using the (invisible) iframe for our communication with Bugzilla. Rob is pretty busy right now, but is hoping to get that implemented soon (Rob: Any guess on timeframe?) --- Version Removal: Rob suggested that we remove the non-release versions from the Version Picker. Given the makeup of our BSA users, that seemed roughly reasonable to me. Cor mentioned that we sometimes have special events where we ask end users to download and test an 'rc, so in those particular cases we might want to re-enable those versions in the BSA *temporarily*. Thoughts? (Joel -- I know you'll want to chime-in here) --- Simplify/de-clutter user interface elements: After a user selects a Component, we could collapse the grid of icons (perhaps fade them down and move them to one side?) and then enlarge the icon of the selected component. This would make that interface element less busy and keep the page cleaner when we start to add more fields in the next steps. [Side note: There are still multiple components for whom there is no unique icon; I think that if we're going to have a grid of icons for components, we need to have a unique icon for each one, otherwise the inconsistency gets confusing] --- That's all for now.
