We are delighted you found contributing to GCC interesting. Please note that apart from C (and C++!) coding skills, most projects require some rudimentary theoretical background in compilers. > One of them > I am thinking to explore is “Rust Front End”.So I will be grateful to > work with all my mentors- Mr.Pierre-Emmaunel Patry, Mr. Philip Herron, > Mr.Arthur Cohen, all being excellent in their works. Please note that Rust-GCC projects are a bit special in the sense that they are often discussed primarily on Zulip of the gcc-rust team: https://gcc-rust.zulipchat.com/ So you may want to reach out to them there as well. > I will be so much > of grateful if I get to know what actual skills do you expect from me > apart from mentioned on website and guide me with what all do I need > to do in my proposal. The skills mentioned on the website (i.e. https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/SummerOfCode ) should be quite sufficient. I can only advise that you look at the "Before you apply" section and take (most of) the steps described there. > I request you to provide me some guidance with my proposal. You need to select a particular project and make at least a few first steps (again, at look at those described at https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/SummerOfCode#Before_you_apply ) yourself. Then we can help you to polish things up. Good luck! Martin Jambor
