Hi, we have many bugs open [1], a good start would be fixing some of them to 
get into the project details before start a possible gsoc, some of them are 
very easy to fix, others not.

If you have any doubts, feel free to ask us on #pyside, also if something is 
hard to explain in english you can talk in portuguese with all PySide devs, 
but please not on this mailing list nor #pyside channel.

After some talk with the PSF gsoc admin, Arc Riley, he told me that he is 
going to use as a good filter for gsoc students the contributions they did to 
the projects they are applying to, I agreed with him, port PySide to py3.2 
isn't a easy task that you do on a weekend, so start trying to fix some bugs 
to understand how Shiboken works, submit some patches if possible, them apply 
yourself to gsoc, the deadline is 18/April, so you have some time :-)

P.S.: About gsoc there is already the channel #gsoc-python, I'm hugopl on 
freenode.
