+      <p>FreeBSD received 39 project proposals this year, many of
+	which were of a very high standard.  After a difficult
+	selection process narrowing these down into the slots we had
+	been allocated, a total of 16 projects were selected to
+	participate in Google Summer of Code 2014 with FreeBSD.</p>
+
+	<p>Projects selected cover a wide range of areas within FreeBSD,
+	covering both the base system and ports infrastructure,
+	userland and kernel.  We have students working on firewall
+	optimisation, ports packaging tools, embedded systems,
+	debugging infrastructure, improved Unicode support, enhancements
+	to the loader and to the installer, and several other areas of
+	work.  We are just over half way through the allocated time this
+	year, and are very much looking forward to integrating code
+	produced by these projects into FreeBSD.</p>
+         
+      <p>This is the tenth time FreeBSD has taken part in Google's
+	Summer of Code, and we are grateful to Google to have accepted
+	us as a participating organisation.</p>
