RTEMS is pleased to announce that we received eight (8) student slots this year. In addition, we are pleased that three of the projects involve cooperation with other open source software projects (Go, Parrot, and Milkymist). We had a record number of submissions and we really wanted to accept more. Unfortunately, there has to be a limit. If your project was not accepted this year but you still want to work on it, please do so. We will be happy to mentor you.
