Hi, all, especially Joaquin... I am planning to submit an application to SoC. I will love to make real the specialized containers you mention and try to include some useful others. I want to get involved in this project as a way to learn a lot and get close to boost. I already been active in some discussion here and I like it very much. I live in Argentina, so we can communicate in spanish if you wish too :) This is my last year in electronic engineering, in my university you are allowed to choose the course of your study... I am specialized in signal processing, algorithms and data structure and math. I am that kind of electronic guy that was seeking to reach the bottom of the silice and when finally get there, realized that he likes a little more abstraction and get back to programming. I love the math that supports electronics (Fourier, theory of operators, functional analysis), the engineering view, etc... but give me a language like C++ to tell the machine what I want to do. Is the list the place to talk this about of? I'm sending some comments on the requirements...

Requirements

* Intermediate-to-high level in C++, with emphasis in generic programming (templates).

high level in C++, love the language, love the standard that is behind it, love the way boost is trying to enhance it.

* Knowledge of the STL framework and design principles. Of course, knowledge of Boost in general and Boost.MultiIndex in particular is a big plus.

I have read a lot and thought a lot about the stl. I am very familiar to the framework. The last 6 months I spend several hours reading boost documentation, because I was fascinating by the clean design and power of each library. After reading the kind of discussion in this list (I have read every mail sent to the list from two weeks ago) I'm starting to understand why this is possible... B.MI was one of my favorites.

* Acquaintaince with at least two different C++ programming evironments.

I usual program in VS2005, but I have a Linux system with g++ to test my designs.

* Some fluency in the English language; subsequent reviews of the documentation can help smooth rough edges here, though.

No problems here (I think, maybe my English is not good enough)

* A mathematical inclination and previous exposure to a formal Algorithms course would help very much.

Love math, love algorithms. I have taken several courses in algorithm and theory of algorithms.

* A craving for extreme quality work.

I'm a lit bit obsessive about quality. :)
