You are late, but perhaps not too late.
But you seem to have no idea which Boost library to contribute to
and which Boost GSoC project you want to develop.
So, you need to hurry up!

Dive into this https://lists.boost.org/boost-users/2020/02/90268.php
and read *all* references there, all of it.

Next, read all material here
https://github.com/boostorg/wiki/wiki/Google-Summer-of-Code%3A-Overview

Then, find which Boost library (project) you want to contribute
https://github.com/boostorg/wiki/wiki/Google-Summer-of-Code%3A-2020
Get in touch/discuss with potential mentors. I suggest via the mailing list,
here or library specific (https://lists.boost.org/), instead of privately
as we are an open source project, after all.

Finally, work on your
- project proposal
- competency test solution
- submit both according to the official GSoC guidelines

Good luck!
