For openSUSE there are several roles in this program and for each of these roles there are different things to do. You can take over any of these roles and make openSUSE's GSoC participation a success. Here is what you can do:
- See which of the ideas you find interesting on our GSoC Project list
- Introduce yourself to the mentor via the comments and talk about the idea. More info about this process can be found here.
- Write an awesome proposal. You can find all about writing proposals on our openSUSE:GSoC_proposal_template
- Follow our the contributor guidance page for helpful hints regarding your proposal.

- Add interesting projects to our GSoC list
- Once a mentee contacts you, help them to understand what your idea is about
