Hi Utpal, thanks for getting in touch. GSoC 2015 will be happening,
but it is not yet time for orgs to even apply, much less be accepted.
So we have no ideas page as yet for 2015 GSoC.

That said, the best way to have your GSoC proposal accepted is to join
a team NOW and work with them on triaging and fixing bugs, and working
on old and new projects. As you work with your team members and the
codebase, you will be able to create a proposal which fits the needs
of the project, and also find willing and able mentors to guide you.

The time to prepare for GSoC is *now* -- but it is not the time for
creating proposals yet. The important part of GSoC is embedding
yourself into your chosen project.Your energy can transform a project
from one lacking a spark into one brimming with enthusiasm. Go for it!

How to join a team:
* find the best list(s) and subscribe, and scan the archives of it.
* Join the relevant IRC channels and hang out there All The Time.
* Scan the forum for areas/posts where you can help out.
* Start searching bugs.kde.org for bugs which you can test, and fix.
* Learn how to propose your code changes to Reviewboard.

All the best,

Valorie
