Congratulations to the Successful Summer of Code Students!
Many congratulations to the eight successful Google Summer of Code applicants: http://code.google.com/soc/2008/boost/about.html We had a lot of very strong proposals this year, so our commiserations go to all those student's who weren't successful: we really appreciated all of your applications, and some of you lost out by just a hair's breadth, so I hope you'll consider applying again next year if you're able. There are some interesting projects again this year, so I'm sure we'll all look forward to seeing the results! Regards, John Maddock.
Hello, first congratulations to all accepted students. I am not accepted student. One question. There is no accepted student for project 'Safe Integere', can I work on this project during summer? Best, Faik. On Tue, Apr 22, 2008 at 10:45 AM, John Maddock <john@johnmaddock.co.uk> wrote:

You can work on whatever you want. It's your time. ;-) Not being accepted for the Google SoC primarily means that you don't get money or an explicit mentor. However, if you post here, I'm sure the Boost community will give you good advice. Sebastian

Yes absolutely: as I said, competition for places was very fierce this year, and since Boost always needs more volunteers by all means work on the safe integer project! You won't get official mentor support, but the mailing list here is generally pretty helpful :-) John. PS, I only had a quick look through, but I couldn't see an application from you on Boost's list... just checking we're not missing something ?

Great, I'm looking forward to Guatam Sewani's SIMD and multi-core optimized math functions! That will be very use to us at my company. --Johan Råde
Hello. I'm one of the eight lucky students. ;) I am happy and excited for being accepted to Google Summer of Code 2008. I will be working on 'Polynomial Library' mentored by Fernando Cacciola. Congratulations to the others of course and good luck. Regards, Pawel Kieliszczyk.

Federico, I am really interested in your project so I can't wait for updates & more info. I dont really know how the GSOC projects go, will there be a googlecode site for your project? -- John

Hello everyone, Ditto. I'll be working with Douglas Gregor on updating the BGL-Python bindings to 1.35.0, creating a test suite for them, and hopefully integrating them back into the main Boost tree. Cheers, Alex

Congratulations Federico. I'll be really interested to hear how you get on. Here's my spatial index problem of the day: I have a time-ordered series of GPS fixes which I'm inserting into a spatial container. Their locations are highly correlated with time, so I'd like to be able to use a hint to say that each point I insert is adjacent to the previous one (like we can do when inserting into a std::map). If I can find a good way to do this I could improve this code from O(n log n) to O(n), which would be very worthwhile. Just something for you to think about... Cheers, Phil.

I had a very similar problem. I had many thousands of GPS coordinates coming in, with position and time stamp that needed to be spatially indexed so that you could later query for all points within M distance and N hours/minutes/seconds of another spatio-temporal point. I ended up using a Bounding Interval Hierarchy that had a bucket of points at each leaf, rather than a single point at each leaf, and that bucket was sorted temporally (hashed by timestamp). This was because the order I received the points was not necessarily in temporal order. In your case, Phil, it might make sense to reverse the ordering (i.e. hash by time, then use a spatially indexed bucket). A Spatio-Temporal data structure would be a great addition to boost. --Michael Fawcett

Spatial indices are just another ordering criteria for data. I think that it should be possible to use Boost.Bimap or Boost.MultiIndex for this task, having one index ordering the data in time, and the other index is the spatial one. This is just a hunch, though, I didn't think about or investigate this in more detail. Regards Hartmut

So am I! I'll work on YAML archives for Boost.serialization and my mentor is Jose Lorenzo de Guzman. I'm really happy and can't wait to start hacking :-) Cheers.

This might be a good place to mention that there are some rather nice Boost IRC channels on the Freenode network. There is #boost which is the main Boost channel, and there is also #boost-soc which was used for socializing between the SoC students last year. Just point your IRC client at irc.freenode.net and say hi. -- Lars Viklund | zao@acc.umu.se | 070-310 47 07

Hm, not even close to what we indicated earlier... I guess it got reset when Google added the BSL. It's better now.

I vaguely recall it being correct when we applied, so it must had got reset. Anyhow, it's fixed now. :) KTC -- Experience is a good school but the fees are high. - Heinrich Heine

Because of the busy lives that some of us have... This is the one project which will have two mentors. So Vladimir Prus and myself will be mentoring Chitan this Summer. -- -- 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
