    The FreeBSD Project is pleased to participate as a mentoring organization in the + Google Summer of + Code 2007. This program funds students to contribute to an open + source project over the summer break. We had dozens of successful + students working on FreeBSD as part of this program in 2005 and 2006.

    + + + + +

    Past Student Projects

    + +

    For a complete list of student projects from previous years, +visit:

    See also our FreeBSD +SoC2006 Wiki and the Google +FreeBSD SoC 2006 pages.

    + + +

    Example Proposal Ideas

    + +

    The following example project ideas are a subset of the general + FreeBSD Project Ideas + list that we think are the most suitable for Summer of Code + projects.

    + + +

    + +
      + +
    • + + ./ideas/index.html#p- + + + +
      • +       +

    For additional ideas about upcoming development projects in + FreeBSD, take a look at recent Developer Status Reports.

    + + +

    Mentors

    + +

    A number of FreeBSD committers are willing to mentor students this + year. A good place to start is the 'Technical contacts' listed with + the example projects on the Ideas page. In addition + to those specific projects, the following mentors are willing to + work with students in any of the broad areas listed below.

    Proposal Guidelines

    + +

    Students are responsible for writing a proposal and submitting it + to Google before the application deadline. The following outline + was adapted from the Perl Foundation open + source proposal HOWTO. A strong proposal will include:

    + + +
      +
    • Name
      • + +
    • Email
      • + +
    • Project Title
      • + +
    • Possible Mentor (optional)
      • + +
    • Benefits to the FreeBSD Community - a good + project will not just be fun to work on, but also generally + useful to others.
      • + +
    • Deliverables - It is very important to list + quantifiable results here e.g. +
        +
      • "Improve X modules in ways Y and Z."
        • +
      • "Write 3 new man pages for the new interfaces."
        • +
      • "Improve test coverage by writing X more unit/regression + tests."
        • +
      • "Improve performance in FOO by X%."
        • +
      +
      • + +
    • Project Schedule - How long will the project + take? When can you begin work?
      • + +
    • Availability - How many hours per week can + you spend working on this? What other obligations do you have + this summer?
      • + +
    • Bio - Who are you? What makes you the best + person to work on this project?
      • +
    + + +

    Infrastructure Provided to Students

    + +

    In 2005 and 2006, the FreeBSD Project provided access to the FreeBSD +Perforce revision control infrastructure in order to facilitate +student collaboration, provide public access and archiving for the +on-going student projects, and to help mentors and the community +monitor on-going work. It is expected that students participating in +future programs will be offered the same facilities. +Students will also be asked to maintain wiki +pages on their on-going projects. In the past, e-mail, IRC, and +instant messaging have proven popular among students and mentors, and +students participating in the FreeBSD summer program are encouraged to +use these and other electronic communication mechanisms to become +active in the community.

    + + +
