Hey Umang, Thanks for your interest in our project! It is great that you have already have some experience working with Java and Android. The kinds of things we work are:
* Android Java programming * building and managing Java jars * C code and building with Makefiles * how Debian works * how to make Debian packages We do not expect you to have all of these skills, but you'll need to be strong in at least two to be an effective contributor. And of course part of this is about you learning new skills. Next steps for you are to look through the Android Tools team wiki to learn about the project and what needs doing, and to put together your application based on the questions in the project description. https://wiki.debian.org/AndroidTools For putting together your application, you can see the applications from previous years to get an idea of what that should look like: https://wiki.debian.org/SummerOfCode2016/StudentApplications Feel free to ping any of us in IRC when you have questions. Also ,in order to be outstanding among other candidates, it is highly recommended that you make some contributions, no matter how big or small, to our project prior to the selection phase. You can also submit a draft proposal after you've done some reading and we can read that and provide you with feedback.
