-The FreeBSD Project is looking forward to participating as a mentoring organization in https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/[Google Summer of Code] 2021. This program offers students a stipend of https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/help/student-stipends[up to $6,600 USD] to contribute to an open source project over the summer break. We have had over 200 successful students working on FreeBSD as part of this program since 2005.

 [[benefits]]
 == Benefit of Participating
 
-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, 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, students can be 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!

 [[ideas]]
 == Example Proposal Ideas
 
-The FreeBSD Project maintains a https://wiki.FreeBSD.org/SummerOfCodeIdeas[list of possible ideas] on our wiki. All projects listed are believed to be sized for a useful summer hacking, and have technical contacts who can help answer questions as you write your proposal. We also maintain a more generic https://wiki.FreeBSD.org/IdeasPage[Ideas Page]. These projects are less suitable as Summer of Code projects as they may be scoped larger or smaller than a summer, or might not have such a clear mentor - we suggest e-mailing our soc-admins alias for help if you do decide to propose one of them. These pages exist to help provide inspiration. Students are also welcome, and are indeed encouraged to propose your own ideas, and if the proposal is strong, we'll try to match you with a mentor!

 * You are qualified to do this project. This means both having the necessary background and demonstrating a general understanding of the problem.
 * You have the resources (especially time!) needed to complete the project within the working period of the Summer of Code.

-We expect project work to be done in GitHub repositories in order to facilitate student collaboration, provide public access and archiving for the on-going student projects, and to help mentors and the community monitor on-going work. Students will also be asked to maintain wiki pages on their on-going projects. In the past, e-mail, IRC, and instant messaging have proven popular among students and mentors, and students participating in the FreeBSD summer program are encouraged to use these and other electronic communication mechanisms to become active in the community.

+* *What advice do you have for a contributor who might want to submit a proposal?*
 +
-Experience suggests that the strongest proposals come from students who contact FreeBSD developers and potential mentors well in advance of submitting their proposal, seek feedback on their proposal ideas, and write proposals that reflect time spent exploring and understanding the problem area to be addressed. Even if the FreeBSD developer(s) you contact aren't the eventual mentor of the project, their feedback can be invaluable.

Even if the FreeBSD developer(s) you contact aren't the eventual mentor of the project, their feedback can be invaluable.
 * *Can I submit multiple project proposals to the FreeBSD Project?*
 +
-Yes, but do make sure you invest adequate time in each proposal. We are not able to accept more than one project per student, so you may do better spending more time on one or two detailed proposals than by submitting lots of less-detailed ones.
-* *Will the FreeBSD Project accept more than one student for the same idea?*
+Yes, but do make sure you invest adequate time in each proposal. We are not able to accept more than one project per contributor, so you may do better spending more time on one or two detailed proposals than by submitting lots of less-detailed ones.
+* *Will the FreeBSD Project accept more than one contributor for the same idea?*
 +
-In general, we will accept only one student for any given proposal idea, as most proposal ideas in our ideas list are sized with a single student summer project in mind. This is a good reason to consider coming up with your own idea, or at least, making sure that your proposal for one of our project ideas reflects your unique contribution and viewpoint. If you plan to submit multiple proposals, you might consider doing one with an idea from the list, and another with an original idea.

 * *What if my proposal is not selected in the application process? Can I still participate?*
 +
-We always have more good applications than student places, but that doesn't mean you can't do the project anyway. The FreeBSD Project always welcomes new volunteers to work on projects, and is generally happy to provide mentoring and support for students whose proposals could not be selected in order to allow them to work on their project anyway. You will need to work with the FreeBSD Project GSoC administrators to identify a possible mentor. However, Google will not fund that participation.

If you have questions about specific project ideas, e-mail the technical contacts for those ideas.
