<p>The FreeBSD Project is pleased to participate as a mentoring
organization in the <a
href="http://code.google.com/summerofcode.html">Google Summer of
Code</a> 2008. This program funds students to contribute to an open
source project over the summer break. We have had over 70 successful
students working on FreeBSD as part of this program in <a
href="&base;/projects/summerofcode-2005.html">2005</a>, <a
href="&base;/projects/summerofcode-2006.html">2006</a>, <a

<h2>Benefit of Participating</h2>
<p>Google Summer of Code is an exciting opportunity for students to
"intern" with an open source project for a summer. The FreeBSD
Project, as one of the most successful and oldest open source projects,
is an excellent place to do this internship. Founded in 1993, the
project now consists of several hundred "committers" and tens of
thousands of contributors. FreeBSD is the foundation for many
commercial products, including Apple's Mac OS X, NetApp's OnTap/GX,
Juniper's JunOS, as well countless other products, and is widely used
in the Internet Service Provider and corporate IT worlds. Many of
these sponsors participate daily in the FreeBSD community, and students
have the opportunity to develop software ideas in an exciting
environment with many real world applications, and under the mentorship
of experienced developers.</p>
<p>After the summer ends, many of our students are sponsored by Google or
the FreeBSD Foundation to attend operating systems and open source
conferences to present on their work, and a significant number go on to
become FreeBSD developers. It's also a great job networking
opportunity!</p>

<h2>Example Proposal Ideas</h2>
<p>The application period for this year has closed, but students and
interested developers can always find interesting work that needs
to be done on the <a
href="&base;/projects/ideas/index.html">FreeBSD Project Ideas</a>
list.</p>
<p>For additional ideas about upcoming development projects in
FreeBSD, take a look at recent <a
href="&base;/news/status">Developer Status Reports</a>.</p>
<a name="mentors"></a>
<h2>Mentors</h2>
<p>A number of FreeBSD committers are willing to mentor students. 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>.</p>
<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>

<h2>Frequently Asked Questions</h2>
<ul>
<li><p><strong>I wasn't selected for funding by Google as part of the Google Summer of Code, can I still participate?</strong></p>
<p>Yes! By all means. Each year we have many more talented
student applications that there are available places and we are
very happy when students choose to get involved with FreeBSD.
Please mail soc-mentors@FreeBSD.org about how to proceed with
your project.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>What projects were completed successfully by students
last summer?</strong></p>
