[GSoC] Getting started

Hello GSoC students and mentors, Students, if you haven't contacted your mentor, now would be the time do so. Mentors, if you haven't heard from your students, you need to try to get in touch with them. If anybody is having trouble getting a hold of their student or mentor, please let me know. During the "Getting to Know You Phase", you should be doing two things: 1. Defining goals and expectations for the summer and 2. Starting to get up to speed with Boost's development environment Remember, that there is a midterm review. It is usually a good idea to set concrete midterm goals in order to ensure that your project is moving forward. Also, the source code of your project MUST be available for review by both your mentor and the community at large. Basically, this means you need to have it publicly hosted. The obvious solution is to house the project in the Boost Sandbox (http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/SOC/2011/). You will probably need to request write access from the Boost owners (boost-owner@lists.boost.org). Send them an email. If your project is already hosted online (independently or as part of another project), then we need to know where it is. Please send an email to the list describing how we can check out the source code of your work. I will add the addresses of these projects to the Boost-GSoC wiki page so other interested parties can find them. That's it for now. Good luck! Andrew

My code is already housed in the sandbox, it can be found at http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/coerce/.
That's it for now. Good luck!
Thank you!

After discussion with my mentor we decided that the repo for the boost.simd project will be hosted at github as nt2 is already hosted there. It is accessible (though empty at the moment) at this url : https://github.com/Mathieu-/boost-simd Regards, Mathieu Masson
