  Summer of Code - Get Paid to Work on Open Source This Summer

 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, from Cisco anti-spam
 appliances to Isilon's cluster storage hardware, 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.

 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!

 There are many dozens of example project ideas listed on the FreeBSD web site
 here:

  http://www.freebsd.org/projects/summerofcode.html

 and for many other open source organizations as well:

  http://code.google.com/soc

 Some of the example projects include working on embedded operating systems,
 unix filesystems, network performance and implementing new network protocols,
 and more.  Most sample project ideas include developers you can contact to
 discuss a proposal, and we recommend doing so in advance of submitting a
 proposal.  Strong C language skills are recommended for most projects.
