This is our fifth year participating in GSoC. In the Summer of Code, open source projects such as FreeBSD invite students to propose summer projects. Over the summer students work with mentors to complete their projects. Students who successfully complete the program receive $4500(US) and the project receives $500. For more information about the summer of code, please visit: http://code.google.com/soc/. Students will work on a wide array of projects in the kernel, userspace, and the ports collection. We are excited to see many new participants as well as several returning students. We thank Google for this opportunity to improve FreeBSD and expand our developer community. The full list of projects and descriptions can be found at http://socghop.appspot.com/org/home/google/gsoc2009/freebsd and a list of projects can be found below. For more information on these projects see student posts to hackers@, check out the wiki project list (http://wiki.freebsd.org/SummerOfCode2009Projects) or join the soc-status mailing list were students will be posting periodic status reports. Please make our our students fell welcome. We encourage interested parties to keep up with student progress and to feel free to offer appropriate assistance through out the summer.
