Hi, I want to participate GSOC 2013. I am trying to contributing LO for a while. I was going to try "using svg for icons" for GSOC but the idea is deleted from the Ideas page. And that would be a little bit hard for me. So I find another and much more suitable idea for me, which is Dialog widget conversion.
First of all. Let me introduce myself. :) *TLDR;*"My skill set:Python, C , C++,Java,C#. I can read others code. I have a little knowledge about GUI's.". I am a 2. grade computer engineering student at Ege University. I try to contribute Free Software projects as possible.I already sent 2 patches to LibreOffice(I can use Git and Gerrit. Yaay! :)). I did small projects(Homeworks :) ) in C, C++,Java, C# and Python. I feel comfortable with Python. Because one of this projects is about graphs and I wrote that in Python+GTK. That was a milestone for me. It was my first program with a gui and I learned a lot from it. The code may be a little bit messy (and includes a lot of Strings and comments in Turkish) but you can see the code from here if you want : https://github.com/namcojoulder/DSgraph I don't have a problem in reading and understanding others code.I think I can learn easily a programming language if it is needed because I am taking a course about programming languages(Design and concepts, mostly theoretical). ** I find interesting two ideas. -Dialog Widget Conversion -Implement a "about:config" functionality I don't know what to do about second idea but I tried to draw a very basic road map about the first Idea. I think i can automate some part of this conversion. I don't have too much programming experience but I think I have enough knowledge for this idea. My first idea for implementing this work is : - Investigation about .src files and .ui files(and a little debugging). Caolan McNamara has a great blog post about this conversation already,(Before coding starts) - I will have a homework about writing a parser in a few weeks so I will have some information about how parsing works. I think this homework and reading will make my work easier.(Because I think this idea is mostly on parsing .src files and creating .ui files with these data.), - When I had enough Information about parsing and widget files I can do some work with Python for automating this process. I would like to discuss the possibility of implementing this idea and drawing a more certain road map. Please don't hesitate to comment. :) And lastly this e-mail probably have a lot of grammar mistakes. Sorry about that :) Best Regards, My Nickname on freenode: efegurkan -- Efe Gürkan YALAMAN http://about.me/efegurkan
