Hi! Welcome to Boost. You can learn about Boost via http://www.boost.org. You'll want to spend some time following this list to learn about our community. One of the things you'll note, when you do so, is that maintainers are often pressed for time, so bugs can languish. You can help by verifying reported bugs and submitting patches, including documentation patches. (Refer to http://www.boost.org/support/bugs.html for more.) You might also want to host a tester (see http://www.boost.org/development/running_regression_tests.html for more). That should be enough to get you well on your way. Thanks for your willingness to participate. _____ Rob Stewart robert.stewart@sig.com Software Engineer using std::disclaimer; Dev Tools & Components Susquehanna International Group, LLP http://www.sig.com ________________________________ IMPORTANT: The information contained in this email and/or its attachments is confidential.

Good Morning ,

My name is Vijeenrosh P.W . Iam an Computer Science and Engineering student . I have knowledge in c,c++,python and linux , and an mind to extend my areas of knowledge. Recently while passing through the list of GSOC accepted organizations I met with boost libraries . it fits me since I have C++&& programming knowledge and is ready to work .

Hi Vijeenrosh, I found that having a goal in mind, which you want to achieve using a Boost library (or several ones), and a focus on quality (i.e., do not work around inconsistencies in the Boost code or the documentation, or simply accepting them) will result in many opportunities to contribute and make Boost better, if only just a little bit. -- Jens
