Boost Selected for Google Summer of Code 2008
For the third year in a row Boost has been selected as a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code. If you're a student this is a great opportunity to contribute to Boost and make a few dollars over the summer. If you're interested here's some links to get you started. http://code.google.com/opensource/gsoc/2008/faqs.html http://code.google.com/soc/2008/boost/about.html We have a few project ideas at: http://www.crystalclearsoftware.com/cgi-bin/boost_wiki/wiki.pl?Google_Summer... but, if you've got your own idea that's fine too. Best to put your ideas out on the development list for writing an application -- that's the best way to be sure the mentors think your project has merit. Here's some important dates to keep in mind: March 24: ~12 noon PDT / 19:00 UTC Student application period opens. March 31: 5:00 PM PDT / 00:00 UTC April 1, 2008 Student application deadline. Full timeline is here: http://code.google.com/opensource/gsoc/2008/faqs.html#0.1_timeline Jeff
Hello, my name is Faik Catibusic. I have post one thread on this mailing list about joining a Boost project. In that thread Stjepan Rajko told me about Google Summer of Code and I make little investigation and found that he was one of students last year. For this year I have two ideas, one is developing library for fuzzy logic. And other one is developing socket library for Linux and Windows based systems. Are this ideas, OK? If so, and also if You interested in my work. I will make detailed plan for three months during summer. Best, Faik Catibusic.

Yes, he was.
For this year I have two ideas, one is developing library for fuzzy logic.
Boost doesn't have such a library -- the closest thing is tribool. http://www.boost.org/doc/html/tribool.html The question you want to ask before you propose this is can these be done in 3 months -- most 'from the ground up' libraries for Boost take 6 months or more. If you plan on going this route I highly recommend you read: http://boost.org/more/submission_process.htm and follow the instructions under 'Determine Interest".
And other one is developing socket library for Linux and Windows based systems.
Well, this one clearly isn't doable in 3 months and we also have this functionality asio, in the soon to be released 1.35 version of boost. For now you can see docs here: http://asio.sourceforge.net/boost_asio_0_3_9/libs/asio/doc/html/index.html

Detailed plans are good -- they will be part of what's needed for your Google application. Jeff

Yes, like in a text. My question about fuzzy and socket was for that purpose. I understand that my form was not valid. :-)

OK, thanks on Your feedback. I have three more questions. When someone start developing library, is he works 6 hours per day or it is less/more time? Can I make plan for six months and after Google Summer of Code 2008 continue to work on that library? Can I send two applications, because if you decide that it's too much job for me I can lose chances to work on any project for GSOC 2008.(I am also interested in developing project about Safe integer project).

I would suggest against planning spending time outside of GSoC. It's like we don't like it :-) But that it's historically not worked out and it's easier to measure progress, which we report to Google, on the state of the project. Although splitting a larger project into parts, and only doing the first that fit within the time line is fine way to approach the limitations of a Summer program.

Multiple applications are fine. But historically we go for the "better" applications. So if you are sure you can make two quality applications, go for it. If not, you probably want to stick to making one of them the best it can be. -- -- 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
