Hi Hanwen, It's great to hear from potential GSoC contributors already running FreeBSD. And, It sounds like you're on the right track by starting early and contacting Allan, the proposed mentor. It's important that you two discuss the project early on to ensure everyone's expectations align. You should cover key points, such as required skills, project difficulty, and duration. Allan may also recommend some ways you could explore the project more, such as investigating some related bugs. If you both decide that this is something you want to spend your summer on, this page has some tips for writing a good proposal. https://google.github.io/gsocguides/student/writing-a-proposal You probably found it already, but we also have information about FreeBSD and GSoC at https://www.freebsd.org/projects/summerofcode/. Feel free to post any technical questions about the project here, or contact soc-admins@FreeBSD.org with any other questions about the FreeBSD GSoC application process.
