Hello Milinda, and welcome!
For participating to a GSoC, each projects have their own way but for SIS I
suggest the following:
* Take inspiration from a SIS task of your choice (SIS-212, SIS-351, SIS-350 or
other). You can also make your own proposal if you wish.
* Start drafting your proposal in the format of your choice (it may be
GoogleDoc, GitHub readme file, ASCII doc, an OpenOffice document, etc.). I
suggest to organize the proposal as described here:
http://write.flossmanuals.net/gsocstudentguide/writing-a-proposal/
* Share the link to your proposal, get feedback from potential mentor, modify
your proposal, _etc._ Many iterations may be necessary. You can ask questions
on the SIS developer mailing list.
* Once ready, submit the proposal to Google.
Before to start the project, it is important that the mentor can see from the
proposal that the student has a good idea of the technical steps required for
doing this task. I also recommend to submit more than one proposal since we do
not know in advance which projects will be accepted. Each student can submit up
to 5 proposals to different projects.

Hi,
I am Milinda Kasun. I am a Final Year undergraduate of Computer Science
Engineering of University of Moratuwa. I have good knowledge about Java and I
would like to participate for this project for GSoC 2017. It would be greatly
appreciated if you could help me get started.
Thank You

Hi Martin,
My name is Ndangoh Joseph S, a third year undergraduate in the
university of Buea Cameroon, studying computer software engineering. I found
this project interesting and i will like to participate in gsoc 2016 to
contribute to this project.
I have good programming skills in java, java spring framework, javascript and
c. I am currently working in an emerging startup, Skylabase
Enterprize(http://www.skylabase.com), as a software developer.
I have read the project idea and have seen the open issues and also the
appreciable work you have done. I am going through the documentation here
http://www.epsg.org/GuidanceNotes, inorder to understand the project better.
Please guide me on what to do next.
Thanks
Ndangoh Joseph.
