+	  <title>Funded Student Projects Announced</title>
+
+	  <p>The FreeBSD Project received over 120 applications for <a
+	    href="http://code.google.com/summerofcode.html">Google's
+	    Summer of Code</a> program, amongst which 14 were selected
+	    for funding. Unfortunately, there were far more first rate
+	    applications than available spots for students.  However,
+	    we encourage students to work together with us all year
+	    round.  The FreeBSD Project is always willing to help
+	    mentor 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.</p>
+
+	  <p>A complete list of the winning students and projects is
+	    available <a
+href="http://www.freebsd.org/projects/summerofcode.html">here</a>.  A <a
+href="http://wikitest.freebsd.org/moin.cgi/SummerOfCode2006">Summer of Code wiki</a> is also available with additional information.</p>
