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. http://www.FreeBSD.org/news/newsflash.html#event20080422:01 http://www.FreeBSD.org/news/newsflash.html#event20080422:01 Tue, 22 Apr 2008 00:00:00 PST http://www.FreeBSD.org/news/newsflash.html#event20080422:02 http://www.FreeBSD.org/news/newsflash.html#event20080422:02 Tue, 22 Apr 2008 00:00:00 PST The deadline for student applications to participate in the Google Summer of Code has been extended by one week. The new deadline is Monday, April 7, 2008. If you haven't already, please visit our FreeBSD Summer of Code page and look at the example project ideas we've listed there, or propose your own. There are many new ideas listed since the first announcements went out. http://www.FreeBSD.org/news/newsflash.html#event20080331:01 http://www.FreeBSD.org/news/newsflash.html#event20080331:01 Mon, 31 Mar 2008 00:00:00 PST The student application period for the Google Summer of Code 2008 program has begun. Please peruse our list of FreeBSD specific projects and potential mentors and prepare your application before the March 31 deadline. Earlier applications are encouraged as this provides an opportunity for potential mentors to work on improving the applications with students before the deadline. http://www.FreeBSD.org/news/newsflash.html#event20080326:01 http://www.FreeBSD.org/news/newsflash.html#event20080326:01 Wed, 26 Mar 2008 00:00:00 PST The FreeBSD Project will soon be accepting applications for the Google Summer of Code 2008 program. This program will provide funding for students to spend the summer contributing to open source software projects.
