I'd say the best strategy is to get already involved with a bost library that 
you find particularly interesting. Play around, maybe find a bug, provide a 
patch, get involved with the authors. With such insights (and connections) you 
will have a clear advantage writing a GSoC proposal next year.

Best,
Mario
