Dear Boost, A generic reminder that org applications GSoC 2020has reached me in another forum yesterday. I'm not the organizer of this, but a potential mentor.Do other potential mentors have suitable projectsand interest in mentoring? Based on previous years,interest this year seems less strong. But the timeto get involved is upon us. I posted one of my potential projects here: https://github.com/boostorg/boost/wiki/Google-Summer-of-Code:-2020 ...And it has remained alone for almost 1 week. Best regards, Chris

I am interested too in mentoring this season. I will add my ideas(one for boost GIL and one for Astronomy) on the idea page with the required test by the end of tomorrow. Thank you, Pranam Lashkari On Fri, Jan 17, 2020 at 3:52 AM Christopher Kormanyos via Boost < boost@lists.boost.org> wrote:

As last year, I'm interested in mentoring for GIL during this edition. I don't have any specific projects on the plate, but there is still plenty to do as continuation of Miral Shah's project adding image processing algorithms: https://github.com/boostorg/gil/wiki/GSoC-2019 We have a list of wishes and ideas for GIL https://github.com/boostorg/gil/wiki/Boost.GIL-3-Ideas that may serve interested students as an inspiration (e.g. color management is an interesting area). I personally prefer when a student approaches with a project proposal she/he is very keen to develop or at least approaches with an idea and works out project details with prospect mentor(s). I consider coming up with an idea or project as an initial homework filtering genuine interest in solving a particular problem rather than piggybacking Boost & GSoC to improve CV.

I agree with the idea of students making the proposal, and we mostly get students taking that path. However, at this stage Google expect us to propose something to show that there is mentoring and org interest when we apply as a organization to get included in the program. So, having some mentor proposed projects helps with the process. El vie., 17 ene. 2020 a las 13:03, Mateusz Loskot via Boost (< boost@lists.boost.org>) escribió:

This is a good point indeed. I've added proposal GIL to the wiki https://github.com/boostorg/boost/wiki/Google-Summer-of-Code:-2020 -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net p.s. Top-posting reminder https://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2020/01/247994.php
