I am a graduate student who will be finishing up my PhD in Physics in the next month. My field is roughly quantum computing/quantum simulation, and my specialty is writing software that solves problems in the field of quantum error correction. My web page, which gives an overview of my background, is here: http://students.washington.edu/gcross/index.html

Hi Greg, the rule for being a Review Manager is that such person has

already committed a library into boost. That's as I understand it.

Regards, Christian

We have an individual (Greg) willing to manage the review, and this certainly does not happen for every library entering the review queue, so it seems counterproductive to discourage Greg's participation. Since Greg does not (yet?) have a library committed to boost, perhaps he can act as a sort of assistant review manager under the guide of one or more boost contributors. Greg would have usual responsibilities of following the review and aggregating the submitted review emails into a coherent review summary, which the guiding boost contributors would approve or amend. Just a suggestion; I, too, do not have a library committed to boost, so I tend to think my opinion naturally carries less weight. - Jeff

Hi Gregory,

I appreciate a lot the comments you have been done lastly. I'm sure you will play more than correctly the Review Manager role.

If you want to manage a review I suggest you to first choose one library you think has the Boost quality and you are comfortable with the domain. Then contact the author and propose you as review manager.

If you want to help the Boost community you can also write some reviews.

Thank you for the support, Vicente! :-) In fact, on this list I have specifically offered in the past to be a Review Manager for the Boost::Local library, and now that it has made it into the queue Lorenzo has accepted my offer. One caveat I should mention in the interest of full disclosure is that I am also a user of Boost::Local and have been an advocate of getting this library included in Boost in the past so my personal feelings on the matter are not neutral, but as a Review Manager I would of course put these feelings aside to analyze and summarize the consensus opinion dispassionately, even it turned out to be against accepting Boost::Local. Cheers, Greg
