Submitted by “The FreeBSD Project is proud to have taken part in the Google Summer of Code 2007. We received more high quality applications this year than ever before. In the end it was a very tough decision to narrow it down to the 25 students selected for funding by Google. These student projects included security research, improved installation tools, 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 report that all students made some progress towards their goals for the summer, and the 22 students listed below completed the program successfully.”
Advancing towards 7.0…
Hopefully the Intel 3945 A/B/G driver will be merged into FreeBSD 7.0 soon.
It’s code freeze at the moment and the driver is far from ready for prime time.

I see some of the projects are aimed at the desktop and lately freebsd has advanced in the desktop arena a lot, I hope they continue this way, everything is looking great. A graphical installer and a freebsd-update front-end for GNOME to name a few are great to know projects.
