 * Summer of Code applications period started

For the fourth consecutive time in a row, the NetBSD Project is proud to
be one of the mentoring organizations in Google's Summer of Code
program.  The student applications period has started, and we would like
to encourage interested students to submit their applications to
participate and help make NetBSD even better!

Working with our mentoring NetBSD developers on a complex project offers
an exciting opportunity for all students to not only get paid to gain
valuable software engineering experience, to network with a large
community of professionals or to lay the foundation for future research,
but it's also a fun way to contribute to and even become part of a large
Open Source project.

A number of concrete suggestions for Summer of Code projects within
NetBSD is available at

  http://www.netbsd.org/contrib/soc-projects.html

All projects there are rated with an estimated level of difficulty and
appropriate contacts.  We encourage all students to discuss their
proposal prior to submission on our public mailing lists, with the
primary contact listed on that page or on #netbsd-code on IRC.

Note that we also invite students to submit proposals for projects that
are not explicitly listed on that page.

Some of the questions to which we would like to see the answers in your
application are listed at

  http://www.netbsd.org/contrib/soc-application.html

Good luck to all students - we are looking forward to working with you
this summer!
