The FreeBSD Project is proud to be taking part in the Google Summer of Code + 2007. We received more high quality applications this year than + ever before. In the end it was a very tough decision to narrow it + down to the 25 students selected for funding by Google. The student + projects are listed below. For more detailed information about the + plans for each project, please see the FreeBSD + Summer of Code 2007 wiki.

The FreeBSD Project is pleased to participate as a mentoring organization in the Google Summer of Code 2007. This program funds students to contribute to an open source project over the summer break. We had dozens of successful students working on FreeBSD as part of this program in 2005 and 2006.

Proposal Guidelines

- -

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 open - source proposal HOWTO. A strong proposal will include:

- - -
    -
  • Name
    • - -
  • Email
    • - -
  • Project Title
    • - -
  • Possible Mentor (optional)
    • - -
  • Benefits to the FreeBSD Community - a good - project will not just be fun to work on, but also generally - useful to others.
    • - -
  • Deliverables - It is very important to list - quantifiable results here e.g. -
      -
    • "Improve X modules in ways Y and Z."
      • -
    • "Write 3 new man pages for the new interfaces."
      • -
    • "Improve test coverage by writing X more unit/regression - tests."
      • -
    • "Improve performance in FOO by X%."
      • -
    -
    • - -
  • Project Schedule - How long will the project - take? When can you begin work?
    • - -
  • Availability - How many hours per week can - you spend working on this? What other obligations do you have - this summer?
    • - -
  • Bio - Who are you? What makes you the best - person to work on this project?
    • -

Infrastructure Provided to Students

- -

In 2005 and 2006, 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.
