NetBSD and the Google "Summer of Code" Projects 2009
This year's projects for NetBSD and the Google "Summer of Code" have been selected, and we were able go get sponsoring for eleven projects! Working areas include all areas from the NetBSD operating system, including system install and bootstrap, userland, file systems, networking, and embedded environments. Here is a list of the students and projects, in no particular order:

Christopher Berardi: Improve and Extend resize_ffs [Proposal / Project page]
Jed Davis: Improving RAIDframe parity handling [Proposal / Project page]
Arnaud Degroote: A tool to dump / restore pf state table [Proposal / Project page]
Adam Hamsik: The NetBSD ZFS port [Proposal / Project page]
Nhat Minh Lê: XML command-line utilities for NetBSD [Proposal / Project page]
Jeremy Morse: Minimalistic X Server - NetBSD port [Proposal / Project page]
Matthias-Christian Ott: Implementing efficient wide character regular expressions [Proposal / Project page]
Lloyd Parkes: Miniaturise NetBSD [Proposal / Project page]
Mike Volokhov: GPT aware boot loader support [Proposal / Project page]
Maxwell Winderbaum: PXE Bulk Install [Proposal / Project page]
Arnaud Ysmal: Generic file system mounting [Proposal / Project page]

Note that the project pages are fresh from the press, and will get more and more data over the course of the summer. Be sure to get back and check every now and then! Also, see the NetBSD press release for more information.

Good luck to all the students, and may your project be a success!
