We received over 120 high quality applications, amongst which 25 projects have been selected for funding. The full list of accepted student proposals is available here : http://www.FreeBSD.org/projects/summerofcode-2007.html Unfortunately, due to the limited number of spots available, we were unable to fund many first rate applications. However, we encourage students to work together with us all year round. The FreeBSD Project is always willing to help students learn more about operating system development through our normal community mailing lists and development forums. Contributing to an open source software project is a valuable component of a computer science education and great preparation for a career in software development. More information about the student projects will be available throughout the summer from the FreeBSD Summer of Code Wiki : http://wiki.FreeBSD.org/SummerOfCode2007 We'd like to close by thanking Google for their generosity and congratulating the 25 talented students below. - Murray & the FreeBSD Summer of Code Organizers and Mentors Accepted student projects : * Project: GNOME front-end to freebsd-update(8) Student: Andrew Turner Mentor: Joe Marcus Clarke * Project: Multicast DNS responder (BSD-licensed) Student: Fredrik Lindberg Mentor: Bruce M.
