The task entails that you pick up an GL extension (or a few) that are used by GL 4.0+, read through the spec test and write small piglit programs [1] which test the applicable functionality. One is expected to confirm their tests against another GL/GLSL implementation - i.e. run the programs on a GL 4.0+ capable hardware using the Nvida/AMD binary drivers. Note that there is a bit of a hurdle here on the patch review front. So you would be expected interact with the community and find a person interested in mentoring/reviewing your work. > I have worked on projects using C and OpenGL as a part of coursework in > college.

Regardless I would encourage that you try and get a better feel about the projects listed [3] and observe the direction of the current X development. Chilling out in #dri-devel (at FreeNode) and skimming through the dri-devel and mesa-dev mailing lists will help you out. Once you have a better feel on the projects (or idea for another one) just follow the guidelines [4] and submit a proposal. I believe this information is enough to get you in the right direction.
