OpenBSD Participating in Google Summer of Code 2014

Contributed by pitrh on from the all tomorrow's hackathons dept.

In an email to the OpenBSD community, Bob Beck (beck@) has announced that The OpenBSD Foundation will represent OpenBSD in the Google Summer of Code 2014:

The OpenBSD Foundation is pleased to announce that we have been accepted as a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code 2014. As such if you are a student who qualifies to apply for GSOC, you will be able to find us in Google's Summer of Code Application process.

We have an ideas page which is located at http://www.openbsdfoundation.org/gsoc2014.html

I will repeat my usual disclaimer here on behalf of the foundation - doing anything with GSOC does *not* guarantee the result will end up in OpenBSD or any related project. That having been said we hope to be able to put some mentors together with students to accomplish things that may become useful to the community at large.

This will be our first year doing this, so we hope to learn from the experience and see if it will work out in future years.

-Bob Beck - The OpenBSD Foundation.

The list of project ideas is varied, long, and, most importantly, interesting. Anyone who meets the criteria for participation should take a peek and put their name in the hat for anything that strikes their fancy.

    Summer of Code?! Don't know what I should think about that...
    I hope that no shit gets its way into OpenBSD.
    Like lua in ther kernel or other crap.

      You must have missed the project to write the kernel in LUA.

      It must be hard to walk with all that sand in your bagina.

      Applications don't give any kind of commiter's rights.
      stuff produced by summer of code projects will obviously be subject to the same exacting rules as the rest of the project.
