Though there are several months before application, you can start

drafting a proposal and collect feedbacks from gentoo-alt@l.g.o or

#gentoo-prefix.  At the same time, you can demonstrate your hacking

skills by fixing some long standing bugs, for example #543744.  Both

will benefit the chance of your application to be selected and admitted.



Cheers,
