Summer of Code

Dear Mentors,
I am an undergrad student who is totally new to open source, and would
like to begin my open source journey through GSoC. Could you please
give me your valuable opinion on what I should do in order to
strengthen my chances of getting selected?
Thank you,
Yours sincerely,
