Hello everyone, Last year I worked on the new astronomy library[0] and successfully completed GSoC with the help of my mentor *VinÃcius dos Santos Oliveira*. In last GSoC, I completed basic coordinate systems and FITS file reading. *Current State of the Library:* Currently, this library has 7 basic astronomical coordinate systems implemented (Alt-Az, CIRS, ICRS, Galactic, Geocentric, Heliocentric, Supergalactic) which as actually wrappers around Boost::Geometry. IO module provides support for FITS reading. Right now, It can read primary HDU and image extensions. Development during GSoC can be found on the master branch[1] To preserve all the development done during the period of GSoC a separate branch was created after completion of GSoC named "gsoc18"[2]. All the development done after the period of GSoC can be found on develop branch[3]. No changes were merged to master after GSoC 18. *Idea for Boost GSoC19:* After communicating with the Boost::geometry community, integration of Boost::geometry and Boost::units is not supported and without using units scientific calculations are not error proof. As a result current coordinate systems can not be used with large projects as there are high possibilities of error. So this year I would like to implement Boost::unit with Boost::astronomy::coordinate to provide a robust astronomical coordinate system. Apart form this I would also complete the remaining parser for the FITS to read complete file including all types of extensions. I am targeting to complete the first coordinate system and FITS reader at the end of this GSoC and making this library ready for its first release.

I have added my project idea to the idea page[0].

Hello, I studied your work from last year and found this project interesting. There is still a vacancy for a mentor on this project and I would like to mentor this project this year. What is the procedure to become a mentor for GSoC?
Cheers! Ruchika Joshi
