 <p>Google Summer of Code is a program where Google sponsors students from around
 the world to spend their summer working on open-source projects. Student is
 paid 5000$ if they successfully complete all of their evaluations. More
 information about the program can be found on the <a href="http://google-melange.appspot.com/gsoc/homepage/google/gsoc2012">project website</a>.</p>

 <h3 id="libcloud-rest">Libcloud REST</h3>

 <p>HTTP interface for Libcloud (http://libcloud.apache.org/) which exposes
 all the Libcloud functionality through a RESTful API. Currently Libcloud
 has a big limitation - you can only use it with Python. Adding a REST
 interface would allow users to leverage Libcloud functionality through an
 arbitrary language which knows how to talk HTTP.</p>
