freebsd announce - Apr 2006 - Summer of Code / Student Programming Opportunities

The FreeBSD Project is happy to once again have the opportunity to
participate in Google's Summer of Code program.  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 partial list of example proposal ideas in all
areas of operating system design, including networking, filesystems,
installation tools, parallel programming, security research and more.
You will also find a list of senior developers who have agreed to act
as mentors to interested students.

Once a suitable project and mentor have been identified, interested
students should complete a proposal and submit it to Google.
Proposals will be accepted starting May 1st and the deadline is May
8th.  Winning candidates will be announced in late May.

Thanks and good luck!
