You will have to wait for Gentoo to be accepted as an organization again
for this year.  Then you will have to prepare a proposal on Google's
melange webapp.  Those details will be available here:

http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/userrel/soc/

when Gentoo has been accepted.

You might also want to join the #gentoo-soc irc channel on the freenode
network.  Also it would be a good idea to subscribe to the gentoo-soc
mail list.


There is lots of information in an FAQ here:
