Google heeft al een paar jaar een project lopen. Het zogenaamde Summer of Code project. NetBSD is daar één van de sponsors van, met een aantal eigen projecten.

Uit de NetBSD nieuwsberichten:

17 Mar 2008 - NetBSD is part of Google Summer of Code 2008, again (top)

Google is doing another round of their Summer of Code project, where the idea is to attract students to write code for Open Source projects during the summer, instead of having them flip burgers. For the fourth time, the NetBSD project has been selected as mentoring organization in the Summer of Code project!

Prospective students that are interested in pursuing projects for NetBSD are welcome to start thinking about what projects they'd like to do, and discuss things on our public mailing lists. We have lists of suggested GSoC projects and (harder!) general projects which can serve as inspiration. Also, please see our NetBSD Project Application/Proposal HowTo for information that we'd like to see answered in the eventual project proposals sent to Google – this information helps us to rank the project proposals we'll get, and to put your project on the best spot!

Zou het een idee zijn om hier eens met de computergroepen naar te kijken?
