The FreeBSD Project received over 350 applications, amongst which 18 projects have been selected for funding. Unfortunately, due to the limited number of spots available, we were unable to fund many first rate applications. 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. More information about the student projects is available from the FreeBSD Summer of Code Wiki here : http://wikitest.freebsd.org/moin.cgi/SummerOfCode2005 The Wiki will soon be updated with information about downloading the work in progress with CVSup. We'd like to close by thanking Google for their generosity and congratulating the 18 talented students below. - The FreeBSD Summer of Code Mentors -- Student: Anders Persson Summary: FreeBSD userland/kernel interface cleanups Mentor: Brooks Davis Student: Andrew Turner Summary: Integrate BSD Installer Mentor: re@, ru@, jhb@ Student: Brian Wilson Summary: UFS Journalling Mentor: scottl@ Student: Chris Jones Summary: Gvinum 'move', 'rename', etc..
