[gsoc18] Seeking a mentor for Boost.Geometry project 2: Nearly antipodal points distance accuracy improvement
by Adeel Ahmad 21 Mar '18

21 Mar '18

Greetings, Congratulations to the Boost community on being selected for GSoC 2018! I recently read through the project ideas listed on the Wiki page, I'm particularly interested in "Boost.Geometry Project 2: Nearly antipodal points distance accuracy improvement". I wanted to know if I should implement a particular algorithm for finding the shortest distance between two points? There are many options, such as the Haversine formula, Equirectangular approximation, and Rhumb line. Or, would any of these be fine? Additionally, could the mentor please let me know on how to share the code? I was thinking of creating a GitHub repository, this would make it easier for the mentor to provide feedback. Would that be alright? I was also a participant in GSoC 2017 with the OpenAstronomy organization. My project was to design and create a Python client for Hierarchical Progressive Surveys. It enabled users to view astronomical figures in an interactive environment. More details of the software package can be found here (https://hips.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started.html) I look forward to your reply. Kind regards, Adeel

[gsoc18] Mentor Search
by Jimmy Beckett 21 Mar '18

21 Mar '18

Hello all, I'm a high school senior out of Texas (I've been accepted into an accredited 4-year college and am therefore eligible for GSOC.) I'm most interested in the uBLAS proposal, but any of the other proposals would be amazing to work on, along with any additional ideas any prospective mentors might have. I've completed the competency test for uBLAS ( https://github.com/jimmybeckett/gsoc18CodeSample) and I also have a lightweight big integer library that I've been working on recently available at https://github.com/jimmybeckett/BigInteger. It doesn't meet the 1000 loc requirement, but it should supplement my competency test. Of course, code reviews are always welcome! If any prospective mentors have project ideas to discuss or any comments to make, I would love to hear them! Thank you, Jimmy Beckett

[CircleCI] boostorg's plan has 8 days left on its trial
by Mateusz Loskot 19 Mar '18

19 Mar '18

Hi, I've been working on CircleCI configuration for Boost.GIL, temporarily, in my GitHub fork (mloskot/gil). When I go to https://circleci.com/gh/mloskot/gil/edit#parallel-builds, I see this message: "boostorg's plan has 8 days left on its trial. You may want to try increasing parallelism below to get the most value out of your containers." Could anyone help me to understand why I see this message even if I added the project to CircleCI from my fork and not from boostorg/gil? Does it mean, all boostorg repositories and all their forks share the CircleCI allowances? There is also second message saying "These settings are only for 1.0 builds. To define parallelism for 2.0 jobs" and since I'm developing CircleCI 2.0 setup for Boost.GIL, I assume I can ignore this secong message. Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net

[gsoc2018]boost.safefloat and boost.real
by Sagar Tewari 19 Mar '18

19 Mar '18

Hi, I'm interested in working on the Boost.SafeFloat or Boost.Real as a gsoc project. Currently I'm in the process of completing the selection criteria(reading the linked matrial, solving competency test) . I've good experience with coding in C++. I went through the safefloat codebase and documentation and it looks quite interesting. But I'm not sure how I'm supposed to submit the competency test solutions. Do I have to include that with the Gsoc proposal? Can someone inform me about that? Also, the Boost.Real project is under the catagory "GSoC Projects which have been prearranged by students with mentors for 2018". Is this project still open for participent submission? -- Sent from: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/Boost-Dev-f2600599.html

[GSoC 2018] A Few Questions about Boost.uBLAS
by philectron 19 Mar '18

19 Mar '18

Hello, I'm interested in working on *Boost.uBLAS* library. *I've fundamentally finished the Programming Competency Test for this project. I'm currently improving it.* I need more information on the following: *1.* Can multiple people who also apply for GSoC work on this same project? *2.* How will I submit my Programming Competency Test? *3.* Has anyone taken this project already? *4.* If 3 = yes, do you allow multiple people working on the same project for GSoC 2018? *5.* If 5 = no, what project should I work on? I have never used or worked with Boost Library before, so I don't know what in Boost Library needs to be improved. What project do you think would be feasible for Thank you! -- Sent from: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/Boost-Dev-f2600599.html

[gsoc18] Mentor Search for Boost.Geometry idea
by Tinko Bartels 16 Mar '18

16 Mar '18

Hi, my name is Tinko Bartels, I'm studying to get a Master's degree in Mathematics at TU Berlin. I'm interested to work on Boost Geometry. I'm working at the university for a couple of years on C++ projects that rely on Boost libraries, most notably Boost.Geometry. Our work involves the computation of exact covers of spaces with boxes. This motivated my idea to add support to void union_(Geometry1 const & geometry1, Geometry2 const & geometry2, Collection & output_collection) void sym_difference(Geometry1 const & geometry1, Geometry2 const & geometry2, Collection & output_collection) void difference(Geometry1 const & geometry1, Geometry2 const & geometry2, Collection & output_collection) for Geometry1=Geometry2=box and Collection is a collection of boxes. Since I have no merged contributions to open source projects to refer to, I could, for example, provide an implementation of the difference method for types adhering to the box concept and a collection of boxes as output_collection. Since the results of those operations in terms of exact covers of the resulting space with boxes are not uniquely defined and the implementation should take less than 3 months, additional strategies for these specializations of the above algorithms could be added as future milestones. If this endeavor is considered worthwhile by potential mentors, I would get started on writing a proposal right away. Kind regards, Tinko Bartels -- Sent from: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/Boost-Dev-f2600599.html

Clang on Windows
by Egor Pugin 16 Mar '18

16 Mar '18

Hi, Based on recent news: Clang 6.0.0 is out with very decent support of the latest MSVC STL (15.6). Chrome is built with clang on Windows. So, maybe it is good time to include clang+windows into list of supported configs, setup a CI worker with clang (clang-cl) on Windows? Currently many boost libs already work fine, but some of them require small tweaks like explicit BOOST_USE_WINDOWS_H etc. -- Egor Pugin

[gsoc18] Student proposal reviewing (Internal process)
by madhur4127 14 Mar '18

14 Mar '18

Hi Boost Community, As per Submission template <https://svn.boost.org/trac10/wiki/SoCSubmissionTemplate> a candidate is required to show competency in C++ and must be "genuinely" interested in the project and also in open-source community. Judging of competency is straight forward, but how can interest be judged? Considering myself as example who had just got in serious open source projects(Sophomore Undergraduate). My coding ablilities <https://github.com/madhur4127/Programming-Competency-Test> are not at expert level but I am improving and learning myself while my university teaches knapsack greedy and automaton. Doesn't this gives an idea of interest in open source of a candidate or am I being a sophomore is a disadvantage with respect to other post graduate candidates? I know boost requires serious level work and it has world's most craftiest libraries but does Boost prefer experienced candidates or take chances with candidates genuinely interested in development and are moderately skilled? As per the division rules "A student must be able to write in C++". Regards, Madhur gsoc18 aspirant [Boost.Intrusive] -- Sent from: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/Boost-Dev-f2600599.html
