Many of the project proposals are significantly more ambitious than a single summer, and take much longer to come to fruition -- often being merged in the winter, the next spring, or even a summer or two later. Not all projects are even intended to lead directly to commitable code: some are effectively R&D projects to understand new areas of work. However, we have a fairly high success rate in getting things committed within a year or so: remember, things need time for testing, review, revision, etc, and this requires a significant effort by the students, their mentors, and the project as a whole over a very extended period of time. Per the recent announcement on the freebsd-announce mailing list and on the web site, you can learn more about the SoC projects by visiting the FreeBSD web page, and also the FreeBSD wiki which contains more detailed information on each project: http://www.freebsd.org/projects/summerofcode-2007.html http://wiki.freebsd.org//SummerOfCode2007 The 2007 SoC season has barely begun, as the official start date is at the end of May. However, many students have started, and already put information about their projects online. Robert N M Watson Computer Laboratory University of Cambridge
