Hello, I want to participate in gsoc-2014 forwhich I want to know how to prepare myself so that I can do a project in the event. I am new to open source, I have read the tutorials in which I found out that to start on, I can do bugfixes, read source code of projects etc. Can anyone tell me which are the easiest projects for which I can do bugfixes and what is a good approach to this. I have an intermediate knowledge of C, C++. Which new things I should learn apart from C ?
Most important thing in order to get ready for GSoC is to get to know the community you want to apply for, and to get it to know you by getting involved early. So I'd recommend that you pick a GNOME project/application written in C/C++ that you like using, then learn how to build it, and finally, find some very small/easy bugs in it, either by using it, or in bugzilla, and write patches for this. Hope that helps, feel free to ask questions if you want more details! Christophe
