Last night I gave my presentation "Is Boost Broken?". I just wanted to add a few observations now that I've had an opportunity to sleep on it. Those who are interested, can download the powerpoint presentation at http://www.rrsd.com/software_development/boost/BoostCon2010/index.htm . A large part of the content was really contained in the response from the participants which is not available. Someday there maybe a video in which you'll be able to appreciate my bombastic personal delivery. I was surprised at how positively the proposals presented were received. I had feared the worst but hoped that some of the ideas presented might worm their way into Boost. It seems that there was more interest than that. I had crafted my proposal after having spent a lot of time following the mailing lists and I believe that proposal reflects a lot of the concerns that others have raised in piecemeal fashion. So in retrospect maybe I should have been more optimistic. I was careful to keep the focus on what facilities I think Boost needs and not get too involved in what it would take to implement these ideas or the specific form they might take. But given the interest, I'm now thinking more seriously of what it would take to make the ideas in this proposal reality. I'm here at Boost Con 2010 if you want to help in some way with this. Also, tonight, Dave Abrahams is scheduled to present his project "ryppl". I'm not privy to any of the details, but I suspect that this might dovetail with my own presentation. It will very likely bring out more discussion on the future of Boost. Robert Ramey BoostCon 2010 Aspen, Colorado
