[gsoc17]Getting started with Project 2 in Boost.Geometry:R-tree serialization
Hi Everyone: My name is Ruoyun Jing, I am an undergraduate student in Northwest University(China) of Software Engineering.Although i am a girl,i really love coding and algorithms!!! I've coded many algorithms problems with C++ and Python,and got Bronze Metal in ACMICPC Asia Shenyang Regional contest. GSoC is really a precious chance for me to get in touch with open source software. After reading all the organizations and their projects, I'm pretty interested in R-tree serialization in Boost.Geometry. Despite my lack of project experience,i will try my best to learn ,code and communicate with mentor!!! Looking forward from you.:) Thank. -- Northwest University of China Software Engineering jingry0321@gmail.com <jingry0321@163.com>

It's great you decided to participate in GSoC. If you pick the R-tree serialization project I'll be your mentor. If you have any questions feel free to ask. Have you developed any open source library in the past that you could show? If not then we've prepared a competency test so you'd have to write some code and attach it to the project proposal. The requirements are listed on the Boost GSoC webpage https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/SoC2017 (it seems to be working now). Adam

Just to be clear, you *would* be the student's mentor IF that student is selected for that project by the Boost community AND Google. Just so no one is confused by English as a foreign language! Niall
Hi Adam, I'm very pleaure for you reply. As you know, i didn't have any opensource library in the past, so i'll prepared a competency test. First of all, i'll read the request and do some preparance. BTW, could you tell me the tome zone of you?I am in UTF-8 in China.And can we talk with each other by gitter, so i can ask you questions more quickly and get answers in time? 2017-03-07 0:39 GMT+08:00 Adam Wulkiewicz via Boost <boost@lists.boost.org>:

I'm in CET (UTC+1) zone but I'd prefer to talk via Boost mailing list because this way we can get feedback from the community, suggestions, corrections, etc. Adam
Hi Adam, Good morning! Talk with with boost mailing list is also good for me.:) Now it is really early today, and I found that i write i am in UTF-8......hahaha....I'm sorry for my bad english....I'm in UTC+8 zone.And for the test of project 3, do i just implement serialization of minimally Point models in arbitrary dimension,or implement many other models in Boost.geometry? And one thing i want to know if it is possible for me to know is how many students do we need for Boost.Geometry in GSoC17? If you don't want to answer, i apologize and you may just forget it,because I hope this question doesn't annoy you, and hope you to have a good day. :) Looking forward from you!

Yes, for PROJECT 2 "R-tree serialization" you have to implement the serialization of models implemented in Boost.Geometry. The minimum is the serialization of model::point in arbitrary dimension and model::point_xy but you may also implement it for other models, e.g. model::box, model::segment, etc. And it should be as generic as possible.
And one thing i want to know if it is possible for me to know is how many students do we need for Boost.Geometry in GSoC17? If you don't want to answer, i apologize and you may just forget it,because I hope this question doesn't annoy you, and hope you to have a good day. :)
I'm not sure if I understand the question correctly. What do you mean by "how many students do we need"? AFAIK there is no predefined number of students that have to prepare proposals. What matters is the knowledge of the student and the quality of the proposal. Adam P.S. Please don't top-post on Boost mailing lists, see: http://www.boost.org/community/policy.html#quoting

Thanks for your answer, now I can do it clearly.:)

Thanks for your answer, you understand correctly, and i clearly know what I want to know. I read the discussion policy at the first time i decided to contribute boost, but i'm really unfamiliar with email, so it's very kind of you to forgive my rudeness, I'll correct it now, and if I also have something wrong, i'm pleased to be pointed out. :) Thanks. -- Northwest University of China Software Engineering jingry0321@gmail.com <jingry0321@163.com>
Hi all, I'm sorry for forget one thing to ask...After i finished configure the development of boost, I begin to pull the develop branch of Boost.geometry and run the tests: ``` cd libs/geometry git checkout develop git branch -vv git pull b2 test ``` The time of testing is too long, yesterday I ran three times for 1.5 hours and today i began at about 7 o'clock and now is 13:03, it still running, is this normal?Or i got something wrong? I used unbuntu 16.04.2 in virtual box for 4 cores, 4GB RAM, Inter Core i7-4712HQ for testing.If it is normal,could you tell the reason of these, so i'll do better develop in the future days. :) Looking forward from you.

Yes, it's because there are many tests in Boost.Geometry. You can find the tests you've run in the libs/geometry/test directory. And it's only a part of all of the tests since the tests for the rtree are located in libs/geometry/index/test. This step in the tutorial is there only to verify if your cloned repository of Boost.Geometry works correctly. For the competency test or writing of the proposal you don't have to run the tests of the library. Btw, it's possible to run only a fraction of tests, e.g.: b2 test/algorithms/area b2 index/test/rtree/exceptions Adam
