Would folks willing to mentor students for this years GSOC please step forward and make themselves known? We need both people to assist in assessing the student applications, and experienced Boosters to mentor the students themselves. We really need to get some new blood into this if our SOC participation is to continue - we can't rely on the "usual suspects" taking this on year after year - in short, "Your Boost Needs You!".

I've been talking to Haoyu Bai about mentoring his boost::python port to py3k effort, and I see Niall Douglas has volunteered as well. There is a channel #boostpython on freenode, we're idling in there. I think it is important to get this done, and I'm curious about the implementation details, so count me in. -t

I can menter a student. -Thorsten

Niall Douglas (who is an old hand with Boost.Python, but not necessarily a "Booster") expressed interest in mentoring a boost.python GSoC student: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/cplusplus-sig/2009-March/014320.html Regards, Ravi
I'm willing to assist, but I don't know of any project for which I am well qualified to mentor. I can help someone with setting up files, docs and tests perhaps? Personally I'd like to see the various big integer and big floating-point proposals *finished* to become Boost review-ready. Paul --- Paul A.

Being one of those "usual suspects" I agree. We need new mentors, especially since I have zero time for GSoC this Summer. And a reminder... I know it doesn't get noticed much. But there's a #boost-soc channel on Freenode that mentors & students might want to make use of. Assuming they don't want to use the regular #boost channel. -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org (msn) - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim,yahoo,skype,efnet,gmail

If there's any Fusion/Phoenix/Spirit related projects, I'm still willing to mentor (as always). (There might be one Fusion related GSoC proposal) Regards, -- Joel de Guzman http://www.boostpro.com http://spirit.sf.net
I would be interested in working as a mentor for someone interested in something related to serialization library. In the the library documentation there is a "To Do" list. This has a few suggestions for projects which are much smaller than making a whole library. I'm particularly interested in the development of some performance tests and profiling.

I just replied to another thread concerning potential boost.python tasks for GSoC, which I'd like to help mentor. (In particular, if David is around as backup for the more obscure aspects of the library. ;-) )

I've been a SoC student working Boost for the past two years, and would like to participate as a mentor this year. Andrew Sutton andrew.n.sutton@gmail.com

I have what I think is a pretty good idea for a GSoC project that I would be willing to mentor: adding support for two-level (van Wijngaarden) grammars to Proto. Proto is essentially a compiler construction toolkit for DSELs. It allows you to define the grammar for the DSEL, but currently has no native support for DSEL type systems. Support for two-level grammars would fill that hole. The job would need a student who has experience with type theory and a solid grasp of C++ template metaprogramming. The can read more about the problem in this thread: http://groups.google.com/group/boost-list/browse_frm/thread/df6ecfb0089b28fd -- Eric Niebler BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com

Is there a list of people "approved" to mentor? How does this process work? I ask because I am working with two undergraduates students working on projects that would probably make decent Boost libraries. Andrew Sutton andrew.n.sutton@gmail.com
