Hello,
This is a reminder that the Google Summer of Code 2006 has now

officially opened up and students' applications are accepted.  The

NetBSD Project is proud to be a participating mentoring organization

once again and has compiled a list of possible projects at

http://www.NetBSD.org/contrib/projects.html.  This website has been

updated frequently in the last couple of days, but it remains

non-exhaustive.
If you are interested in applying for one of these projects -- or if you

have an idea for another project altogether -- please take your time to

discuss your idea with the NetBSD community on the relevant mailing

list.  Remember, applications are *not* accepted on a first-come,

first-serve basis, so the more feedback you get on your project

proposal, the better your application will be, increasing your chances

of being accepted!
When you do prepare your application, please take a look at

http://www.NetBSD.org/contrib/soc-application.html, where we have listed

a few of the questions you should be able to answer in your application.

Some example applications that were accepted during the 2005 SoC (from

all kinds of projects) are available at

http://summerofcode.xwiki.com/xwiki/bin/view/Main/ExampleApplications;

proposals for NetBSD's accepted projects from last year are available

from http://netbsd-soc.sourceforge.net/.
When you have finalized your application, please submit it via the

Google web frontend at http://code.google.com/soc/student.html.  It will

then automatically be made available to the NetBSD mentors for review.
Good luck with your application!
