Well, LibreOffice can use your help in improving the Qt bridge. The code is
mainly here:

http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/vcl/unx/kde4/

Patches can be easily submitted here:

 https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/

(only Open-ID required).

Here are bugs to get started:

LibreOffice building kickstart guide is here:

If you send patches to gerrit or bugzilla, best CC me and Luboš Luňák <l.lunak at suse.cz>.

Best,
