<h2>Current Student Projects</h2>
|
||||
|

<p>We've recently <a
|
||||
href="&base;/projects/summerofcode-2008.html">announced</a> the
|
||||
successful student applicants for the Summer of Code 2008 and we are
|
||||
currently working to create accounts for them and help integrate
|
||||
these students into our community. More information about this
|
||||
year's student projects will soon be available on our <a
|
||||

<h2>Example Proposal Ideas</h2>

<p>The following example project ideas are a subset of the general

<a href="&base;/projects/ideas/index.html">FreeBSD Project

Code projects.</p>

interested developers can always find interesting work that needs

<h2>Proposal Guidelines</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>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 <a
|
||||
href="http://www.perlfoundation.org/gc/grants/proposals.html">open
|
||||
source proposal HOWTO</a>. A strong proposal will include:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><strong>Name</strong></li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li><strong>Email</strong></li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li><strong>Project Title</strong></li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li><strong>Possible Mentor</strong> <em>(optional)</em></li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li><strong>Who you have talked to about the project</strong> - if
|
||||
you have communicated with a FreeBSD Developer in the preparation
|
||||
of this proposal, please let us know who it was. This will allow
|
||||
us to consult them regarding your proposal if we have any
|
||||
questions.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li><strong>Benefits to the FreeBSD Community</strong> - a good
|
||||
project will not just be fun to work on, but also generally
|
||||
useful to others.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li><strong>Deliverables</strong> - It is very important to list
|
||||
quantifiable results here e.g.
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>"Improve X modules in ways Y and Z."</li>
|
||||
<li>"Write 3 new man pages for the new interfaces."</li>
|
||||
<li>"Improve test coverage by writing X more unit/regression
|
||||
tests."</li>
|
||||
<li>"Improve performance in FOO by X%."</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li><strong>Project Schedule</strong> - How long will the project
|
||||
take? When can you begin work?</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li><strong>Availability</strong> - How many hours per week can
|
||||
you spend working on this? What other obligations do you have
|
||||
this summer?</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li><strong>Bio</strong> - Who are you? What makes you the best
|
||||
person to work on this project? Do you use FreeBSD already?
|
||||
If your project includes programming in a particular language,
|
||||
such as C, or in a specific environment, such as the kernel or
|
||||
an embedded platform, what experience do you have working in
|
||||
that area? Are you familiar with or a user of revision control
|
||||
systems?</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Please note: in the past, a significant number of proposals have
|
||||
been received that consist solely of copies of ideas from our
|
||||
ideas list. Proposals of this sort are rejected without further
|
||||
consideration. A strong project proposal will consist either of
|
||||
a detailed original proposal or a significantly elaborated
|
||||
proposal from the idea list, and must reflect the necessary
|
||||
background work to understand the problem and possible solutions.
|
||||
Special attention is paid to proposals where the student has
|
||||
identified appropriate members of the community in advance and
|
||||
worked with them to develop their project idea prior to
|
||||
submitting the proposal.</p>
