-In the lead-up to SummerOfCode, it is recommended that you contact potential project mentors about your project idea.  If you do not know who would make a good potential mentor, please either email freebsd-hackers@%%FreeBSD%%.org or ask in our IRC channel, #freebsd-soc on EFnet. As a last resort you can also email soc-admins@%%FreeBSD%%.org, which is generally for administrative purposes but will assist special cases.
