"Google Summer of Code 2007 is on! Last year, Google funded over 600 students in 93 countries to work with 100 open source groups. We're extremely happy to announce that we'll be holding Google Summer of Code again this year. We look forward to helping new contributors join the community and write more code."

Most of the projects that get selected are either too big to be completed, such as the FreeBSD attempt at reworking launchd as a replacement startup system, or so small they should not have been accepted, such as FreeBSD's update to it's website.
Most of the attempts at creating filesystems progressed, but didn't get halfway there. The BSD SNMPD implementation got most of the way there when it was a SoC, but never completed, same with CSup, the C reimplementation of CVSup (and CSup had already existed prior to the SoC).
While a final report would have been nice, if you cared about any one project, the mentoring organizations almost all kept status pages, so it was not needed. A report of all the projects' results would have been big.
