QEMU participated in Google's Summer of Code 2011 program.

Some reports on the processed topics (partially or fully) from 2010 can be found here:

• QMP - about syncing QEMU monitor and QEMU Machine Protocol (QMP) features
• VNC - about improvements in speed and features of QEMU supported VNC protocols

For more information on GSoC-2011 and especially lots more of probably still open topics for improvement please see this page.
