But unfortunately, we were unable to find a project which consists of enough research work which meets our expectations and interest areas in DragonFly BSD project idea lists . However, we are still in the process of finding a project idea for us. So we will keep in touch with your project ideas and if we grow an interesting on one of already existing project ideas in DragonFly BSD or come up with a new project idea related to DragonFly BSD, we’d definitely contact you back.</span></b><br>

Samuel's links are exactly what I would have posted. In addition to that:<div><br></div><div>- There's a #dragonflybsd channel on EFNet, where you can talk to developers. There's no guarantee that someone will be there to talk about your projects at the time you're there, but it may work out.</div>
<div><br></div><div>- Based on my experiences with the last few years of Google Summer of Code, if you want to take a DragonFly project, make a detailed schedule. The first sign of trouble for a project is when it falls behind schedule, and you want to be able to tell when that's happening as soon as possible, so that you can correct for it.</div>
<div><br></div><div>- As part of your schedule, plan for some way of publicly updating people on the status of your project. Explain what it does, what decisions you are making, what challenges you face, and so on. Specifically for DragonFly, it means I can link to news about work on the Digest (<a href="http://shiningsilence.com/dbsdlog/" target="_blank">http://shiningsilence.com/dbsdlog/</a>) and it keeps a conversation going for when you need help, or just the simple encouragement of having other people interested in your work.</div>
<div><br></div><div>- Those last two can apply to any project for any organization, not just something with DragonFly. Plan out what you're going to do, and talk about it while you do it. It makes a huge difference for project success.</div>
