  Hi,

thanks for your interest in the QEMU project! However, I think the 
application period for 2021 is already over, see the timeline here:

  https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/how-it-works/

But if you'd like to prepare for the next time, most of the projects 
provided by QEMU require a solid knowledge of the C language (some also use 
Python or Rust), so that's certainly something you could try to learn in 
advance (if you don't have that knowledge yet).

To check whether QEMU is the right project for you, I'd recommend to pick 
one of the small task from our list here:

  https://wiki.qemu.org/Contribute/BiteSizedTasks

and then try to come up with a patch that fixes the issue and try to get it 
accepted via the mailing list (see 
https://wiki.qemu.org/Contribute/SubmitAPatch for details).

  HTH,
   Thomas
