Student Projects Introduction

This page describes several potential Student projects that could be undertaken to learn about Cloud Computing, engage with the CloudStack community and learn Open Source software development practices. While this is a page meant for Students, anyone is welcome to participate, enter new projects, take them on and mentor. This is specific to the Google Summer of Code program, however any students not sponsored by GSoC could take on a project on its own time.
