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.
