<title>End-of-Year Fund Raising Drive</title>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <a href="http://www.freebsdfoundation.org">FreeBSD
|
|
Foundation</a> has announced an End-of-Year Fund Raising
|
|
Drive. The goal this year is to raise over $250,000.
|
|
This money is used for sponsoring FreeBSD related conferences,
|
|
providing travel grants to developers to attend these conferences,
|
|
providing grants for projects that improve FreeBSD, and
|
|
providing legal support on issues like understanding
|
|
the GPLv3 impact on FreeBSD, trademarks, and other legal
|
|
issues that come up.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Donations can be made online from <a

<title>Funded Summer of Code Projects Announced</title>
|
|
|
|
<p>The FreeBSD Project received over 120 applications for <a
|
|
href="http://code.google.com/soc">Google's
|
|
Summer of Code</a> program, amongst which 25 were selected
|
|
for funding. Unfortunately, there were far more first rate
|
|
applications than available spots for students. However,
|
|
we encourage students to work together with us all year
|
|
round. The FreeBSD Project is always willing to help
|
|
mentor students learn more about operating system
|
|
development through our normal community mailing lists and
|
|
development forums. Contributing to an open source
|
|
software project is a valuable component of a computer
|
|
science education and great preparation for a career in
|
|
software development.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>A complete list of the winning students and projects is
|
|
available <a
|
|
href="http://www.freebsd.org/projects/summerofcode-2007.html">here</a>.
|
|
A <a href="http://wiki.freebsd.org/moin.cgi/SummerOfCode2007">Summer
|
|
of Code wiki</a> is also available with additional information.</p>
