Hi Niall, I did went through the past year projects . Actually i had been looking through them for more than a week. Honestly, the projects are very interesting though challenging.What i deduce from my observations is that certainly very good coding skills are required but the fun fact is the requirement of the mathematical and algorithmic skills. Most of the projects are based on mathematics.Mathematics and code mean too much fun. Though every project is worth working upon following are few that really attract my interest: (2013) -Boost.uBLAS This project is can be very useful for an end user . There can easily be a large amount users that could use this library. -Boost.odeint It's a great idea to devote a library completely for solving ODEs which in my view can be extended to other areas of calculus. Specially the idea of parallelized computation is very good. The other project on this topic(Implicit Routines) though interests me more just because i know my way around ODEs. I also learned the fact that this project has not been accepted in GSOC till this year. -Boost.ASIO This is challenging but it's rewarding just because it makes you co-author of a library.This will certainly be a good experience as it can be great learning experience. (2014) -Boost.Math Generalized Hypergeometric Functions -Boost.odient -Boost.xml (2015) -Concurrent Hash Tables This project looks exciting and will be very interesting to work on. Hey i would also like to like what are the necessary skills(some other particulars except c,c++ etc) that are required so that i am prepared for organization and i can prove myself to you.I am really interested in this organization so if you could just brief me out bit on what direction i (or even other applicants) must follow.

Hello guys. I came to know about your organization from the melange page.Your projects really got me interested. I am a very proficient in c & c++. I have been doing a lot of competitive programming for more than a year so , i can certainly code.I wish to apply to GSOC this year and would love the opportunity if it comes from your organization. Thus, i am looking for a way to contribute and work for you.
Can you look through the past GSoC project ideas at:
https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/SoC2015
https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/SoC2014
https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/SoC2013
And tell us which might interest you.
