Projects selected for LibreOffice in the Google Summer of Code 2026 - TDF Community Blog

The LibreOffice Google Summer of Code projects have been selected for 2026. Aya Jamal – OpenType MATH: this project aims to add support for OpenType fonts that contain a MATH table. Data from the MATH table will be used to layout math formulas. Manish Bera – Improve word processor test coverage: Writer is the most complex application in LibreOffice. The tests written in the scope of this project will make for a better developer experience. One aim is to restart the automated generation of LCOV test coverage reports. Jesus Solis – JPEG XL import support: while JPEG XL has only recently started to be adopted by web browsers, it is already used in fields such as medical imaging, professional photography, PDF & EPUB authoring and handling geospatial and archival data. Having support for it in LibreOffice would therefore make for a smoother experience for the users who rely on the format. Good luck to the contributors – we appreciate their work on these important features and improvements! And thanks to our mentors for assisting them: Khaled Hosny (Alif Type); Jonathan Clark and Xisco Faulí (TDF). Between August 17 and 24, contributors will submit their code, project summaries, and final evaluations
