@arhant The topmost post in this discussion has the basic guide and details to get started with Plone, how it works and so on. There are other discussions in the community itself for each of the project proposals for GSoC, you can go through them as well if you've decided what you're interested in!

Thanks to all of you for helping each-other out in my absence. I've been dealing with a personal issue for a bit. I am so gratified to see incoming students for GSoC already acting as members of the Plone community and helping each-other out. You all clearly have the spirit!
So anyway, a delayed welcome from me as well to you who are new to us, @Arhant, @DipakDA, and @santosh2201. We are so glad you've chosen to try us out for your GSoC experience.

Hello everyone, I am Manish, I am in 2nd year at Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra, computer science branch. I have worked with python, java, nodejs and mongodb. I am very much interested in Gsoc'18. I really am very much interested in working with plone and learning from excellent peer group here at plone. I have been reading chats here at forum. I have installed plone 5.0 on ubuntu 16.04 and familiarised myself with plone environment. I am now working on making a website using plone. I will keep updating my progress. Please welcome me in my first endeavour to open source community.

That's great, do let us know if you need help with anything.
And of course, welcome to the community!
Does anybody know how to check the changes I made in the code of the following repository.
https://github.com/plone/Products.CMFPlone
I mean how do I run this repository's code?
Usually you wouldn't modify the code in that repository. Plone is comprised of many packages, so code changes would be made in those. You can find out more how to make core changes to Plone here:
Thank you Sir, I am on it.
