FreeBSD is a full POSIX operating system being developed as a single integrated project---including kernel, userland, and documentation---that can trace its history back over 30 years to the BSD project initiated at UC Berkeley in the late 1970s.

This summer, the FreeBSD Project is mentoring 20 student projects. The current status of these projects is tracked on the FreeBSD Wiki at http://wiki.freebsd.org/SummerOfCode2009Projects.  Student code can be found in the FreeBSD Perforce repository at http://p4db.freebsd.org/depotTreeBrowser.cgi?FSPC=//depot/projects/soc2009&HIDEDEL=NO.

These projects have been accepted into The FreeBSD Project. You can learn more about each project by visiting the links below.
