Hello everyone, myself Siddharth Pandey, a sophomore at Indian Institute of Information Technology Sri City, India. I love to do Competitive Programming and have a keen interest in Open Source Contribution. I have a strong foundation on C,C++ and some about Python & Java. Also I am trying to explore the field of Data Science & Machine learning. For more information do visit my Portfolio website https://siddharth25pandey.github.io/ I want to contribute to the Boost Organisation but I am quite confused how to start with. It will be really helpful if any mentor can guide me how to start Contributing to get a great learning from such a highly reputed organization. Thanks & Regards Siddharth Pandey

Well, the first thing you should do is STAR this repository: https://github.com/CPPAlliance/json/ And then you might consider participating in the Formal Review of Boost.JSON (repo link above) Thanks

No, you shouldn't. That is, you are not required to star, subscribe, repost, retweet or do any other kind of social advertisement of any Boost (let alone candidate) libraries. (Vinnie, Boost ML is not your marketing outlet. By posting requests like the above you misguide newcomers and do a disservice to Boost.) In order to start participating I would recommend to first read our posting guidelines: https://www.boost.org/community/policy.html Read and participate in discussions, pick a library of your interest, see if you can help with bug fixes and improvements, start making pull requests on GitHub, etc. In case if you have an idea for a new library, make a proposal on this list. Here are the guidelines for new libraries: https://www.boost.org/development/submissions.html
https://github.com/CPPAlliance/json/
And then you might consider participating in the Formal Review of Boost.JSON (repo link above)
With this I agree - if you have experteese and interest in the domain of the proposed libraries, we always welcome reviews. Here are the guidelines for making a review (and the review process in general): https://www.boost.org/community/reviews.html

Answer to this recurring question is given in the FAQ on the boost.org It also has been answered here in the past, for example, here is mine: https://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2019/11/247468.php Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net
