Hi Nitika, Yes you are right, GSoC has Apache as an organization, but within apache there are multiple projects and you have a wide variety of projects to choose from. Did you check apache ideas page at - http://s.apache.org/gsoc2012ideas There are 118 project ideas for you to choose from. If you like any project, you should be able to google the appropriate dev mailing list and start engaging in discussions as you work on your proposal. Almost all of the apache project mailing list are easy to find. Even better (and suggested) way will be for you to create a Apache JIRA account and comment on the project idea. That will be automatically cc'ed to the project dev mailing lists.
