<!-- Simple schema for FreeBSD Project news.

     Divide time in to <year>, <month>, and <day> elements, each of which

     each <day> element contains one or more <event> elements.

     Each <event> contains an optional <title>, and then a <p>.  <p> elements
     can contain <a> anchors.

     Use the <title> element if the <p> content is lengthy.  When generating

	  <title>Funded Summer of Code Projects Announced</title>

	  <p>The FreeBSD Project received over 120 applications for <a
	    href="http://code.google.com/soc">Google's
	    Summer of Code</a> program, amongst which 25 were selected
	    for funding. Unfortunately, there were far more first rate
	    applications than available spots for students.  However,
	    we encourage students to work together with us all year
	    round.  The FreeBSD Project is always willing to help
	    mentor students learn more about operating system
	    development through our normal community mailing lists and
	    development forums.  Contributing to an open source
	    software project is a valuable component of a computer
	    science education and great preparation for a career in
	    software development.</p>

	  <p>A complete list of the winning students and projects is
	    available <a
href="http://www.freebsd.org/projects/summerofcode-2007.html">here</a>.
A <a href="http://wiki.freebsd.org/moin.cgi/SummerOfCode2007">Summer
