Re: [boost] [compute] Maintenance status
Hi all I am no expert in OpenCL nor GPGPU, but very interested in this topic and would love to learn more about it. I volunteer to take care of the maintenance of this library. Since I have no experience with the Boost way of handling PRs etc., I guess would need some support from an experienced library maintainer in the beginning. Until now I was a silent reader here, so let me shortly introduce myself: My name is René Eng, 57 years old, living in Switzerland. I am working as a C++ developer for more than 20 years, in the high performance/low latency area. I have experience with some other Boost sub-libraries, in the past also used b2 to build Boost when there were no packages available yet. If there is no-one else with more experience in this topic, who wants to take over this library, I would. This week I am on holiday, so I would actually start to take a closer look into it next week.

: It was brought to my attention that Boost.Compute seems to be all but abandoned: no updates in three years, more than 100 issues filed, 27 unattended PRs. This is a shame given that the library looks pretty popular based on GH stars and references on Internet. Are there volunteers to take on maintenance of the library? Best,
Joaquin M Lopez Munoz

That's great news! I notice that you are registered in the Official C++ Language Slack Workspace (https://cpplang.slack.com). I have invited you to the #boost channel, which could be a good starting point for you to connect with other volunteers and learn the ropes of maintaining a library. We're glad to help! Regards
Hello Vinnie I was quiet for some time because I had trouble getting the test programs of Boost.Compute to run on my development machine (Asus ZenBook 😉). But today I made another attempt and finally found the description, which packages I have to install. Now I can finally execute the test programs. I hope to be able to give more good news soon.
