students working on FreeBSD as part of this program in <a

|
<h2>Mentors</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>A number of FreeBSD committers are willing to mentor students this
|
|
year. A good place to start is the 'Technical contacts' listed with
|
|
the example projects on the <a
|
|
href="&base;/projects/ideas/index.html">Ideas page</a>. In addition
|
|
to those specific projects, the following mentors are willing to
|
|
work with students in any of the broad areas listed below.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><em>Coming soon.</em></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 previous years, 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>
