Google Code Offers Midterm Reports

The Summer of Code continues at Google, which presented a midterm report on the state of the project during the recently-held OSCON 2006. "As part of the GSoC mid-term evaluations, we asked our mentors to give us a review of everything from their students' progress to date to their favorite color," Leslie Hawthorn of Google wrote at the crafting fixes for Ipv6 stack vulnerabilities in FreeBSD. Only five percent of those accepted into the program dropped out by the midterm. The remainder will hang on to collect the full stipend of $4500 Google pays to participating students.
