Colin already answered this well. GSoC is right now not active. If you
have some minor contributions before the GSoC applications open,
you'll have a better chance of getting chosen, so I recommend browsing
the issue trackers and take on something that looks easy and you feel
comfortable to start with.

>From the Debian issues, I think this would be a good one to start
with: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=809022

If you are more interested in programming (and less about packaging
and systems engineering) take a look at the links Colin sent about
MaraiDB tasks.
