Hi,
Thanks for your interest in the syslog-ng Google Summer of Code projects. Any contributions you can make would be greatly appreciated by the syslog-ng user community.
To start, please try to grab the source code from github, prepare the required build environment, and try to familiarize yourself with the codebase.
Check out github issues, try to find one that you feel you could fix, submit a PR, engage with the community.
You could also look into the project you are focusing on. What pieces of syslog-ng you need to understand to carry out your project. Find the appropriate module, try to find which code are would need to be changed in order to achieve the project's objectives.
You can also find help on our
gitter.im channel.
Hope this helps,
Bazsi
