+
+          <p>The FreeBSD Project is now accepting applications for
+	    the previously announced Google <a
+	    href="http://code.google.com/summerofcode.html">Summer
+            of Code 2006</a> program.  This program will provide
+            funding for students to spend the summer contributing to
+            open source software projects.  A list of FreeBSD specific
+            projects and potential mentors is available <a
+            href="$base/projects/summerofcode.html">here</a>.</p>
+
+          <p>Once a suitable project and mentor have been identified,
+	    interested students should complete a proposal and submit
+	    it to Google.  Proposals are now being accepted and the
+	    final deadline is May 8, 2006 at 17:00 Pacific Daylight
+	    Time (midnight May 9, 2006 0:00 UTC).  Winning candidates
+	    will be announced in late May.  Please see the <a
+	    href="http://code.google.com/soc/studentfaq.html">Student
+	    FAQ</a> for more information.</p>
