Dear Sir/Madame,
My name is Sarah Arrey. I am a student in the University of Buea, Cameroon. I have written professional programs in C++. As a result of my Anglo-Saxon culture, and currently in the faculty of science, I have good knowledge in mathematics beyond that of the high school; my country is Bilingual (English and French). I am interested in applying for the following two projects:
PROJECT 3: Implementation of Algorithms for Computing the Delaunay Triangulation
PROJECT 4: Implementation of Algorithms for Random Point Generation
I am willing to forward code for the Programming Competency Test, when applying.
How do I get started?
This is the same message as I've already sent Indira before. In all cases the general guidelines are the same. Just in case I'm sending it to you too. If you have questions about something specific just ask. Thanks for your interest in Boost.Geometry. Since you're asking a question here you already started well. You've most definietly read Boost's GSoC wiki, but just to be sure here are the links: https://github.com/boostorg/boost/wiki/Google-Summer-of-Code%3A-Overview https://github.com/boostorg/boost/wiki/Google-Summer-of-Code:-2019 The next thing would be to get familiar with the literature on the subject/subjects you've choosen. We put some links on the wiki for you to guide you but you should also do research, find and decide which algorithm performing computation you'd like to implement. If you'd like to propose new algorithm or extend the proposal feel free to do it. At the same time you should write a program for competency test if you don't have an existing library to share. Ideally the code you write should show that you can understand techniques used in Boost.Geometry and can use them to solve problems. So you should also get familiar with the documentation of Boost.Geometry and the code of the library: https://www.boost.org/libs/geometry https://github.com/boostorg/geometry and have an idea how the development workflow looks like: https://github.com/boostorg/geometry/wiki/Contribution-Tutorial https://github.com/boostorg/geometry/wiki/Guidelines-for-Developers Last but not least I advise you to focus on the quality of the proposal and competency test code rather than quantity.
