Announcing NetBSD and the Google Summer of Code Projects 2017

We are very happy to announce that the selection process in this year's Summer of Code with its bargaining of slots and what student gets assigned to which project is over. As a result, the following students will take on their projects:

• Leonardo Taccari will work add multi-packages support to pkgsrc.
• Maya Rashish will work on the LFS cleanup.
• Utkarsh Anand will make Anita support multiple virtual machine systems and more architectures within them to improve testing coverage.

What follows now is a community bonding period until May 30th, followed by a coding period over the summer (it's Summer of Code, after all ) until August 21st, evaluations, code submission and an announcement of the results on September 6th 2017.

Good luck to all our students and their mentors - we look forward to your work results, and welcome you to The NetBSD Project!
