It's the key point, to find interested and competent potential "young" (or not ;-) ) members. It seems to me pretty clear that the most motivated candidates are to be found at the boostcon. I will happily take that project on if my idea is viable, and it would be: Authors (and I offer myself as testperson) prepare a talk or a paper where they show the inside of their library, as detailed as possible.
- Participants get to learn some of the advanced techniques used in boost libraries - Boost gains an extended circle of possible contributors - Authors prepare a succession if needed later, or the possibility of having more people able to implement changes / fixes. They also get an in-depth review by very clever guys (honestly, I am every year impressed). Preparing others is especially important for people like me who are developing a library alone.
Looks to me like a win/win scenario :)
This can be coupled with GSOC projects. After learning the inside of a library, these participants could extend it.
Alternatively, we can organize this with participants of this list, but it would require a greater deal of work for authors who would have to write down a lot.
Some thoughts about it? Potential candidates (as speaker or attendee)?
I'm currently a participant in GSoC and I was wondering what would be the best way to "throw my hat into the ring" for something like this? I personally was looking for a way for me to actively continue working on boost after my GSoC project is completed.
