Welcome to the community @jayamal. Good to see your interest. I would recommend you to go through the [issue tracker](https://issues.openmrs.org) and watch out for some introductory tickets and try to solve them. Check out [expectations from the students](https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/RES/Summer+Of+Code+2018#SummerOfCode2018-ExpectationsforStudents) , this will surely help you. Be in touch with the community in all the ways possible. Read the documentation regarding the [project which you are interested in](https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/projects/Merge+Patient+data+from+Multiple+Installations) and get familiar with the project. Once you are familiar with the project and have queries and ideas(which you surely will have! 🙂 ) , open up a thread regarding all of the stuff related to that project. Keep discussing and keep contributing. 🙂 --- _[View the full topic](https://talk.openmrs.org/t/contributing-a-gsoc-2018-project/16515)._
