I'm currently finishing up my first year in Maths and Computer Science. I would like to participate in this year's GSoC by contributing to FreeBSD. I've been using Debian for a long time and I recently switched to FreeBSD. I've always wanted to become an active member of a large open source project, and I feel like GSoC is the right place to start. I have about 5 years of experience using Python, Lua, C and C++, mostly for creating games and applications. I am interested in the KDE front-end to the freebsd-update utility; I am currently in the process of writing my proposal. In the idea description on the wiki, it says that a GTK frontend was developed as part of GSoC 2007 and that design ideas could be shared, but the link given is broken. I didn't manage to find any link to the project elsewhere. Could anyone tell me where I can find it? I am also looking for a possible mentor, since the project has no available mentor. I've already used Qt a lot before and I am fairly autonomous in my work. Thanks. Robin
