Basically, this program provides $4500 in funding to allow students to spend the summer writing open source software. If you or someone you know would be interested in this program, please visit our website at : http://www.freebsd.org/projects/summerofcode.html There you will find a large list of interesting projects in diverse areas of modern Unix operating system development. Some example tasks involve improving the installation tools, adding more automated test suites, improving NFS, adding journalling support to UFS, improving the ACPI power management algorithms, and more. You will also find a list of senior developers who have agreed to act as mentors to interested students. Once you have identified a project and a mentor, you should complete a proposal and submit it to Google before the June 14 deadline. Winning candidates will be announced in late June. Thanks and good luck! - Murray
