Here's a list of last summer's mentoring organizations: http://socghop.appspot.com/gsoc/program/accepted_orgs/google...

I haven't done it myself, so I don't know if my advice is any good, but I'd suggest picking one that interests you and getting started fixing bugs as soon as possible. And when you have a chance, double-check that they intend to take part this summer, too.

A friend of mine did GSoC a few summers ago. If you like, send me an email and I'll put you in touch.

Browsing through that list now... I'm not sure but I think someone from my uni did GSoC last year, I'll try finding out about that first. Thanks anyway!
