+	    Code programme</title>
+
+	  <p>The FreeBSD Project is pleased to announce its participation
+	    In Google's 2011 Summer of Code programme, which funds summer
+	    students to participate in open source projects.
+	    This will be the FreeBSD Project's seventh year in the programme,
+	    having mentored over 100 successful students through summer-long
+	    coding projects between 2005 and 2010.
+	    Past succesful projects have included improvements to Linux
+	    ABI emulation, NFSv4 ACLs, TCP regression testing, FUSE file
+	    system support, and countless other projects.
+	    Many students go on to become FreeBSD developers, as well as
+	    participating in FreeBSD developer events around the world
+	    through continuing support from the FreeBSD Foundation.
+	    Prospective participants are invited to apply; more information
+	    is available, including proposal and deadline information, on the
+	    <a href="&enbase;/projects/summerofcode.html">FreeBSD Summer
+	    Projects page</a>.</p>
