[TOS] Apache OpenOffice proposals for GSoC 2012

[eric b]

Hello,

GSoC is a great opportunity for students, and FOSS. One more time,  
Apache Software Foundation is accepted as application. This allows  
Apache OpenOffice (new OpenOffice.org name, since Oracle transfered  
the trademark to the Apache Softare Foundation) participation, and we  
can propose subjects.

Until something is accepted (starting me accepted as mentor on the  
Apache side ;-) ), and to inform everybody, I did some proposals. As  
GSoc mentor since 2006, I know well the thing and can mentor one or  
two (maxi) students, whatever the choosen subject, but any help, or  
even someone taking over one subject is possible and welcome.

Here are the subjects I proposed for GSoC2012 :

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMDEV-69 : Implement online  
SVG Gallery in Apache OpenOffice
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMDEV-70 : Open and manage  
Maxima sessions in Writer documents
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMDEV-71 : Implement the Image  
rotation in Apache OpenOffice Writer, using Draw/Impress objects
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMDEV-72 : Implement Impress   
OpenGL 3D transitions on Mac OS X and improve them (implement reverse  
transition, according to backward / forward sense)

list prefered**), or discuss with us directly on IRC***


Thanks in advance,
Eric
