The past four months have been some of the most instructive times I've ever had. I wasn't supposed to be part of GSoC24 but somewhere in the past, it was gone.
The first PR of mine which got merged was for the Phoenix Framework <https://github.com/phoenixframework/phoenix> last year and a couple of other projects, and I realize that my thoughts aren't organized. What I also experienced is not all the communities are supportive of beginners, so I kept looking and ended with LibreOffice. At first, Ilmari guided, me so much, and he suggested applying, and now I am writing this Final report mail. The initial support that the community showed is what I didn't find in other projects. >From the project proposal onwards, my mentor Tomaž helped me to maneuver through how should I approach it. He let me do things by myself. The Histogram is there but the bigger milestone which is OOXML and ODF support is still not in place. With OOXML what MSO has done is they have laid out an entirely different structure for the newly added charts from the MSO2016. Hence, we first have to add support for the parsing and writing of these new chart types, which will make it possible for other new chart types to work with LO easily. Saving and opening of files are remaining, and the Pareto and other newly added charts have to be completed. *Report -* https://devanshvarshney.com/libreoffice-google-summer-of-code-final-report -- *Regards,* *Devansh*
