Please welcome our Summer of Code Students

2008-04-22 Thread Murray Stokely
Google announced today that they are funding 21 of our Summer of Code applicants (out of over 100 applications). We had at least 10 highly competitive applications that were not funded by Google, and we've encouraged some of those students to work on FreeBSD this summer anyway. We are very much

Not sure where to address this, so starting here. As you might know some post-CVS VCS-es use a convention where a first line of commit message serves as a kind of commit subject and the rest is a body that further describes the commit. Could we please start thinking about thinking of possible
