Hi everyone! My name is Gail and I just joined the mailing list. I'm very interested in Google's Summer of Code program and am hoping to participate for the first time this year. I came across Boost when I needed a platform-independent means of threading for my honors project, and realized afterward that there were several Boost projects in last year's SoC! A bit about me: I'm in my last semester of Computer Science at Carleton University in Ottawa, ON, Canada. I have strong interests in computer vision/graphics/computational geometry. In fact, I will be beginning my Masters of Computer Science in this area in September. This will be at Carleton University as well since the school has the largest computational geometry group in North America, or so I'm told :) I have some interesting industry experience at Ross Video (they make live video production switchers) and Corel (I worked on CorelDRAW, software I've known and loved since I was a kid). I hope that I've come to the right place to find out more about Boost and its relation to SoC, and would love to try and find out what kind of development is most desired for SoC. I noticed that last year's project ideas included some computational geometry libraries - anything in this area would be a real treat for me to work on! Looking forward to talking with you, Gail
