There's lots of room for original work proposals for students interested in getting paid to to TrustedBSD work this summer (or winter, if you're in the Southern Hemisphere :-). Robert N M Watson ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 1 May 2006 13:22:52 -0700 From: Murray Stokely To: announce@FreeBSD.org Subject: [FreeBSD-Announce] Summer of Code Application Deadline in 1 week The Summer of Code application process has officially begun. This is an excellent opportunity for students to get involved with improving FreeBSD. Successful student applicants will receive $4,500 in funding from Google, will be granted an account on the FreeBSD.org Perforce revision control system, and will receive an @freebsd.org mail forward to help interact with other FreeBSD developers this summer. We have identified a number of senior developers to serve as mentors to introduce students to contributing to FreeBSD. We have also identified some example project ideas and guidelines for writing a good proposal on our Summer of Code web page : http://www.freebsd.org/projects/summerofcode.html There you will find a partial list of example proposal ideas in all areas of operating system design, including networking, filesystems, installation tools, parallel programming, security research and more. Once a suitable project and mentor have been identified, interested students should complete a proposal and submit it to Google. Proposals are now being accepted and the final deadline is May 8, 2006 at 17:00 Pacific Daylight Time (midnight May 9, 2006 0:00 UTC). Winning candidates will be announced in late May. Interacting with a global team of open source developers in a centralized revision control system is excellent preparation for a future career as a software engineer. Many of the students that participated last year are still contributing code to FreeBSD. For additional information about this program, please see the student frequently asked questions page: http://code.google.com/soc/studentfaq.html Thanks and good luck! - Murray Stokely _______________________________________________ freebsd-announce@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-announce To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-announce-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
