20 Student Projects Funded by GSoC

[FreeBSD SoC Admin Team]

The FreeBSD Project is happy to announce the funding of 20
student projects this summer as part of the Google Summer of
Code 2009.  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.
