<p>The FreeBSD Project is pleased to participate as a mentoring organization in the
Google <a href="http://code.google.com/summerofcode.html">Summer of
Code</a> 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 <a
href="&base;/summerofcode-2005.html">2005</a> and <a
href="&base;/summerofcode-2006.html">2006</a>.</p>

<h2>Example Proposal Ideas</h2>
<p>Please see the general <a

Reports</a> are also a good source of information about upcoming
projects.</p>

A Summer of Code-specific addendum may be posted here in
Spring 2007.</p>

<h2>Mentors</h2>
<p>A number of FreeBSD committers are willing to mentor students this

to those specific projects, the following mentors are willing to
work with students in any of the broad areas listed below.</p>

<a name="proposals"></a>
<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>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?</li>
</ul>
<a name="infrastructure"></a>
<h2>Infrastructure Provided to Students</h2>
<p>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.</p>
