Pick a project that interests you and start reading their code, help
with documentation and bug triaging.   Get a feel for the community
around that application and the developers.  If you have ideas for SoC
talk with the devs and maintainers and see if they're excited about
your idea.  If they are, congrats you may have found a mentor.

Cheers,
