A Debian GSoC project proposal, that needs 'non-free' and 'non free' services to work are a very bad idea in my opinion. Debian Social contract says at ยง4: 'Our priorities are our users and free software' I hearby ask the Debian GSoC Coordination team to reject project applications, that need Amazon's (or any other commercial or non-free) cloud service to function properly.
