After you have found a project
- Fork it, clone it, and setup project on local
- Go through the documentation
- Deep dive into the code, start from where program starts and slowly navigate through code Checkout the test cases of the project, if any
- Join the mailing list/ chat channel

For GSoC, start contributing early, if you have already contributed to project your chances of getting selected will be high (Proposal pay less role)
Twitter - good for networking, developers are active on it
Don't put yourself into a box, like "beginner coder", intermediate coder"
