Hi there are working professionals now allowed to take part in GSOC? 

GSoC is open to students and beginner developers to open source software development.

A beginner in open source software includes people with minimal open source experience. You would still be considered a beginner if your experience only includes:

• Personal or class projects, including boot camp projects.
• Open source projects that are only used at a single institution. (example: a club website or research that happened to be published as open source at your old university)
• Opening a small number (<10) of issues or pull requests against various open source packages.
• Continued involvement in an open source project that you joined as part of GSoC.

If you are otherwise a regular contributor to an open source project, you're not a beginner.

Hi there the term beginner is still vague to me.

If I am a working professional with 6 months experience and no experience in open source, Meeting the requirements for beginner as you mentioned, am I eligible?

If you have no experience in open source software development then you would be a beginner.

But keep in mind time management can be very challenging if you plan to try and do GSoC while also having a full time job as a working professional.
