<li><p><strong>Can I submit multiple project proposals to the FreeBSD
Project?</strong></p>
<p>Yes, but do make sure you invest adequate time in each proposal so
that we can evaluate them properly. We will only be able to accept
one proposal from any given student, so you may do better writing just
one or two detailed proposals than submitting lots of less detailed
ones.</p></li>

you might consider doing one with an idea from the list, and another
with an original idea.</p></li>

<li><p><strong>What if my proposal is not selected in the application
process? Can I still participate?</strong></p>
<p>Unfortunately, we always have more good applications than student
places, but that doesn't mean you can't do the project anyway. The
FreeBSD Project always welcomes new volunteers to work on projects, and
