Getting involved in BeagleBoard community for GSOC 2k16.

Hello all,
I am an undergraduate student currently pursuing BTech from IIIT-Hyderabad. I have found BeagleBoard an awesome organization for GSOC and would like to get involved in the developing community. I am a kind of guy who is equally inclined towards both the electronics as well as computer science, which is also one of the main reason for my interest in BeagleBoard.

I am interested and have worked in the areas including scraping, scripting, Arduino, automation (both on software and hardware level), developing REST apis and IOT and have a good mathematical background with fine algorithmic skills.
Regarding my programming skils, I am good in Python, C/C++, Arduino, JavaScript, Bash. Along with this, I am an open source lover.
Here is my github profile link: https://github.com/ironmaniiith

I am ready to take on the projects related to the topics as mentioned above. Can the concerned mentors guide me how can I get started and what should I do in order to prove my ability to work with beagleBoard.

Looking forward for your responses.

Regards,
Aalekh Jain.
