Thanks for your interest!

Nice, so you already have some experience with "systems programming".

Well, obviously first get some experience with the a Hurd system's
structure,
<http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/open_issues/anatomy_of_a_hurd_system.html>,
and generally <http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/documentation.html>, and
get some user experience -- install a GNU/Hurd system,
<http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd/running/debian.html>, maybe start
with a KVM/QEMU/VirtualBox image.

Of course, we're happy to help and answer specific questions.

Then, of course, prepare your student application form,
<http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/community/gsoc/student_application_form.html>,
and send it to Google site, in time before this Friday.
