If you look through the competency tests for past years you'll get a 
very good idea of what is required.

You probably don't need to start worrying until December. Between now 
and then, finding a Boost library you would like to contribute to and 
finding a mentor who would be willing to mentor you would be a good 
idea.

Note that this year Boost did not receive Google approval. We hope 
this will be remedied next year.
