+	    Code 2018</title>
+
+	  <p>The FreeBSD Project is pleased to announce its
+	    participation in Google's 2018 Summer of Code program,
+	    which funds summer students to participate in open source
+	    projects.  This will be the FreeBSD Project's fourteenth year
+	    in the program, having mentored over 210 successful
+	    students through summer-long coding projects between 2005
+	    and 2017.</p>
+
+	  <p>Past successful projects have included improvements to
+	    Linux ABI emulation, NFSv4 ACLs, TCP regression testing,
+	    FUSE file system support, and countless other projects.
+	    Many students go on to become FreeBSD developers, as well
+	    as participating in FreeBSD developer events around the
+	    world through continuing support from the FreeBSD
+	    Foundation.</p>
+
+	  <p>Prospective participants are invited to apply; more
+	    information is available, including proposal and deadline
+	    information, on the <a
+	      href="&enbase;/projects/summerofcode.html">FreeBSD
+	      Summer Projects page</a>.</p>
