GSOC 2016

[Prashant Kumar <pr...@gmail.com>]

Sir/Mam,
     My name is Prashant Kumar and I am 3rd year b.tech student of Netaji
Subhash Engineering College, Kolkata.
I am interested in GSOC 2016 and would like to contribute to your projects
using C, C++ languages. I love coding and have participated in competetions
like Codevita.
It would be very helpful if I could be guided on how to get started and
 what kind of projects are to be started this year.
Looking forward to your reply. Thank you

The GSoC application process for students doesn't start until 14 March.
While mentoring organizations haven't formally been announced, we expect
the ASF and a number of our Apache projects to be participating -
however we don't have that list ready yet.

The best thing to do now is review the GSoC site for the process:

https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/

If you want to start looking at what different projects are at the ASF,
you can browse our projects directory - but note, only some projects
will be participating in the formal GSoC program:

https://projects.apache.org/

Thanks for your interest and good luck!
