NetBSD taking part in Google Summer of Code 2018

[maya%netbsd.org@localhost]

Hi, lists!

If you, or someone you know, wanted to dive deep into NetBSD or pkgsrc,
are currently a student, google's summer of code is a great opportunity.

You can get a stipend (paid for by Google) and spend a few months getting
to know and improving the insides of NetBSD or pkgsrc.

The schedule is:
12-27 March             Applying
23 April                Find out if you were accepted
14 May - 22 August      Do the project!

We have some suggestions for suitable projects:
- ARM EFI bootloader
- Using libFuzzer on base tools
- Refactoring ALTQ (QoS implementation) and integrating with NPF
- Testsuite for libcurses
- Improve pkgin

Other suggestions and details are at:
https://wiki.netbsd.org/projects/gsoc/

These projects are suggestions; you can come up with your own.
Suggestions for other suitable projects are welcome.

Note that NetBSD is not the only project participating, you can see
