<!-- Simple schema for FreeBSD Project news.
Divide time in to <year>, <month>, and <day> elements, each of which
has a <name>.
each <day> element contains one or more <event> elements.
Each <event> contains an optional <title>, and then a <p>. <p> elements
can contain <a> anchors. Within the "href" attribute of the anchor
$base or $enbase will be replaced with the base URI necessary to reach
the FreeBSD document root, and should always be used to start URLs at
www.FreeBSD.org or one of the mirrors.
Use the <title> element if the <p> content is lengthy. When generating
synopses of this information (e.g., for syndication using RDF files),
the contents of <title> will be preferred over <p>.

<title>New website section: Projects and ideas for volunteers</title>
<p>The FreeBSD project has hundreds of active developers spread all
over the world, and many of them have their own parts of the
source-tree that they work on. However, there are always a lot of
new interesting projects and ideas that needs to be investigated
and evaluated, and this is where the FreeBSD project relies on
heroic efforts from volunteers. A new section on the FreeBSD
website has been created with the purpose of listing such
projects. The list is in no way complete, but it should serve as
a nice starting point for volunteers who would like to become
committers in the future. You can <a
href="$base/projects/ideas/">view the projects list here</a>.</p>

cluster. This 20-node HP BladeSystem cluster triples
the speed of the build process for i386 packages. You can <a

<title>New article: Building Products with FreeBSD</title>
<p>A new article, <a
href="$base/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/building-products/">
Building Products with FreeBSD</a> describes the benefits of
collaborating with the FreeBSD project when developing
products. Much of the engineering cost of software product
development for a successful product comes from the need to
evolve to keep pace with the market. By working with a mature,
reuse-friendly source base like that of the FreeBSD
project, and by following the best-practices listed in this article,
organizations can reap the benefits of reduced engineering costs
and improved market adaptability.</p>

<title>New Article: Choosing a FreeBSD Version</title>
<p>A new article, <a
href="$base/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/version-guide/">
Choosing the FreeBSD Version That Is Right For You</a>,
discusses considerations that should go into the selection
of the most suitable version of FreeBSD for individual needs.
Included are such concepts as the differences between a
Release and a Branch, and between FreeBSD-STABLE and
FreeBSD-CURRENT. Also covered is how FreeBSD development
is moving towards a goal of more frequent major releases,
each of which introduces smaller feature sets, as compared
to how releases were done in the past. The target audience
is both the user who is considering installing FreeBSD, and
also existing users who wish to plan their future upgrades.</p>

<title>Funded Student Projects Announced</title>
<p>The FreeBSD Project received over 350 applications for <a
href="http://code.google.com/summerofcode.html">Google's
Summer of Code</a> program, amongst which 18 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>More information about the funded student projects is
available from the <a

<p>The FreeBSD Release Engineering Team is proud to
announce the availability of FreeBSD 5.3-RC2. Two
critical issues came up during RC1 testing and it is

widespread testing. If no more show-stopper problems
are found this will be the last test release done before
5.3-RELEASE. Please see the full announcement on

<title>Removal of Gallery</title>
<p>Because of the hard maintenance and low benefit the
<a href="../gallery/">gallery</a>
pages bring to the Project and the listed websites,
it has been decided to spend the time working on other
stuff related to FreeBSD than these pages. The gallery
will be removed in two weeks, no further submissions will
be processed. However, this has no influence on the
