Hi Damika,

It is nice to hear from you. I worked in Google Summer of Code 2010 for Open Source Project OpenMRS. 
Following are some of the steps you can follow in order to apply for Google Summer of Code 2022.

1. You need to find an Open Source project that interests you and you are passionate about (2021 Organizations https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/archive/2021/organizations/).
2. You need to find a Tech Stack you are comfortable with or are willing to learn (C++, Python, Java, etc.).
3. Once you do the above two you can join that Open Source project's developer mailing list, introduce yourself and start communicating which is key (Join IRC channels, Slack, etc. as well).
4. Checkout the Open Source code base and go through their coding conventions/standards page and familiarize yourself.
5. Look for that Open source project's Introductory Tickets or Small issues/enhancements which you can do and submit for review. This will familiarize yourself with project members, the tech stack and domain.
6. Basically you need to start contributing to Open source projects even before you get into GSoC which is one of the goals of this.
7. Once the Open source projects announce their projects and mentors for GSoC 2022, you need to go through the requirements and find one that interests you.
8. Then you need to build your project proposal which should contain an Abstract, Problem Statement, Project Plan, Wireframes, Detailed Changes (better if you can go down to the class, method level changes you will be doing), etc. which you are expecting to do. You can refer to my proposal as a baseline and work on it and improve https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/RES/Refine+Module+Administration+Project. You can contact mentors via developer mailing list or any other means and ask questions to further clarify things to refine your project proposal.
9. Stay in touch with the team members of the Open source project throughout, do work for them etc. throughout the timeline of the GSoC.
10. Most importantly make friends, learn and continue contributing to Open source whether you get selected or not for GSoC. This will help you in the long run.

This is not a totally exhaustive set of instructions and can be modified/updated by other people's views and opinions. 

Regards,

Shazin
