In addition to all the things you would normally consider when preparing a boost submission (e.g., whether there is interest) and all the things you would normally consider when writing a bachelor's thesis (e.g., whether you can complete it on time), you should think about some of the possible interactions between boost and thesis:
Yes. I am currently working with my college to find out if there are any such issues that might come up. I have to turn in a project description in a week or so, and in the following review process, these matters should surface.
1. Is the boost license compatible with copyright and intellectual property requirements of your school? (It's best not to assume; most schools have a specific policy about this.)
Though I haven't checked personally (And I will do that.), I know several open-source projects have been run as bachelors thesis(es?) at my college before, so I would imagine a boost project should be possible.
2. If the boost review process begins after you graduate, which of the three of you will be responsible for interacting with boost? It's clear from your message you have interest in boost, but you should to be prepared to take on the participation in the review process in case your collaborators decide they want to do something else after they graduate.
I don't want to sound discouraging, but I do want to point out that the completion of your thesis and the submission to boost should be decoupled so that you don't make your life more stressful than necessary.>
Good point. I have not yet decided if I should make a connection between the actual review process and the thesis itself. I will probably end up with the thesis being a paper and library that could then be submitted to boost (but not required to) when it is completed. I would like to do the the development within the boost community though, so a total decoupling from boost would probably not be such a good idea either.
Besides that point, my only question right now is when we can see the preliminary proposal :-)
Patience. ;)
