title: Google Summer of Code 2012 ## Google Summer of Code 2012 ## 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 [project website](http://google-melange.appspot.com/gsoc/homepage/google/gsoc2012). ## Accepted projects ## ### Libcloud REST ### 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. **Mentor**: Tomaz Muraus **Student**: Ilgiz Islamgulov **Strategic plan**: [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1P9fIxILn-WdgpkXDPydHB_dghGs-BYuoSmkFwh0Y36w/edit](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1P9fIxILn-WdgpkXDPydHB_dghGs-BYuoSmkFwh0Y36w/edit) Project progress can be tracked on [Github](https://github.com/islamgulov/libcloud.rest) and weekly updates are sent to [the mailing list](/devinfo.html).
