FreeBSD Summer of Code 2005

The FreeBSD Project is proud to have taken part in the Google Summer of Code 2005. By all accounts, the FreeBSD participation in this program was an unqualified success. We received over 350 applications for student projects, amongst which 19 were selected for funding. These student projects included improved installation tools, filesystem enhancements, new utilities, and more. Many of the students have continued working on their FreeBSD projects even after the official close of the program. We are happy to see continued development in our source code repository by these talented young programmers and we look forward to working with more students in the future.
