You would have to propose which libraries...

This is interesting; especially since you say that you have a background
in this area.

But a Common Lisp binding to libvirt already exists [1], and I would expect
that it does not take long to make this binding actually run in clisp. (Maybe
just 1 week?)

So, to make this a valuable GSoC project, you would need to add significant
functionality on top of it. Just "basic functionality of a cloud orchestrator"
sounds like too little for me.

Can you think about an *interesting* functionality you could build on top
of the libvirt binding? Something that uses the dynamicity of Lisp, or where
a domain-specific language is created? Something that cannot so easily be
done with the Python binding to libvirt, nor with the 'virsh' command?
