Past successful projects have included improvements to Linux ABI emulation, NFSv4 ACLs, TCP regression testing, FUSE file system support, and countless other projects. Many students go on to become FreeBSD developers, as well as participating in FreeBSD developer events around the world through continuing support from the FreeBSD Foundation.
Prospective participants are invited to apply; more information is available, including proposal and deadline information, on the FreeBSD Summer Projects page.

FreeBSD Project to participate in Google Summer of Code 2016
The FreeBSD Project is pleased to announce its participation in Google's 2016 Summer of Code program, which funds summer students to participate in open source projects. This will be the FreeBSD Project's twelfth year in the program, having mentored over 180 successful students through summer-long coding projects between 2005 and 2015.Past successful projects have included improvements to Linux ABI emulation, NFSv4 ACLs, TCP regression testing, FUSE file system support, and countless other projects. Many students go on to become FreeBSD developers, as well as participating in FreeBSD developer events around the world through continuing support from the FreeBSD Foundation.

LibreSSL not affected by DROWN attack
As noted by Bernard Spil, the OpenSSL bugs
disclosed on 2016-03-01 have very little impact on LibreSSL, especially
on OpenBSD. However, we will briefly mention the two high-profile
issues:
LibreSSL (on any platform) is not affected by DROWN. Support for SSLv2 was flensed out quite a while ago.
Cachebleed
is local-only, and requires a lot effort to get. This is thought to be
very difficult to exploit on OpenBSD due to many of the normal
mitigations on an OpenBSD system. Other systems without such mitigations
may not be so lucky.
Edit: Update from Bob Beck (beck@):
So of 8 #openssl things forthcoming, all but two low severity ones were already fixed in #libressl - You won't need to patch #libressl today— Bob Beck (@bob_beck) March 1, 2016
OpenBSD 5.9 network improvements
There are no doubt many eyes on OpenBSD's continuing network SMP
renovation. Hrvoje Popovski writes in to tell us about some performance
testing he's been doing:
My name is Hrvoje Popovski, I'm a husband, a father of 3 little kids and network engineer at University of Zagreb University Computing Centre – SRCE. Somewhere around the beginning of 2015, I got one server to play with that luckily had four em(4) (Intel I350) and two ix(4) (Intel 82599) onboard NICs. Around that time, developers started to throw out some interesting MP diffs, and I couldn't resist trying them. So I started to beg my boss and people around me to buy or lend me some PCs or servers to generate traffic with the MP diffs. I don't know how, but two Dell servers came to my lab...Read more...
Stable pkgsrc-2015Q4 branch released
The pkgsrc developers are proud to announce the pkgsrc-2015Q3 branch. There are 16846 possible packages in pkgsrc-2015Q4, up from 16764 last quarter. Notable new packages this quarter include kodi (home media center software previously known as xbmc), php-baikal (a CardDAV/CalDAV server), freecol (a Colonization clone), unicorn (a CPU emulator framework), and clang-static-analyzer.BSD Behind The Chalkboard | BSD Now 131
This week on the show, we have an interview with Jamie McParland
of the Newburg public school district in Oregon. We are going to get an
inside look at how they use BSD in various aspects operations across
their network, as well as bringing you the latest news and questions.
Keep it tuned to BSDNow, the place to B...SD!
