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 soc-admins@FreeBSD.org or ask in our IRC channel, #freebsd-soc on EFnet.

Once SummerOfCode commences, your first point of call should usually be your mentor. If your mentor knows in advance he will be unavailable for any length of time, he will assign somebody to act as a backup mentor for that time. Should your mentor become unresponsive or you wish to discuss something with the SummerOfCode administrators that you feel you cannot discuss with your mentor, you should contact soc-admins@FreeBSD.org.
