by Niall Douglas 21 Apr '16

Dear Boost, We are very glad to announce that non-Google funding has been found to continue the Summer of Code for the following veteran student projects in Summer 2016: A. Boost Document, mentored by Antony Polukhin. Veteran student: Anurag Ghosh https://anuragxel.github.io/boost-document/ B. Boost.Compute, mentored by Kyle Lutz. Veteran student: Jakub Szuppe https://boostorg.github.io/compute/ C. Boost.Http, mentored by Bjorn Reese. Veteran student: Vinícius dos Santos Oliveira https://boostgsoc14.github.io/boost.http/ All three of these projects shall see a Summer of Code as if it were Google Summer of Code following the same timeline, mentor and student stipends, and progress acceptance criteria. Our thanks to the students and mentors for being so patient during the organisation of this funding. This all happened very quickly and much faster than Boost org processes normally happen - it would not have been possible without the efforts of Jon Kalb and Bryce Adelstein Lelbach, the latter of whom wrote up a great funding request worth reading at https://goo.gl/7v3VMK. Thanks are also due to the Boost Steering Committee for moving so quickly to vote on this, and to Boris Schäling for finding sponsorship for this effort. And finally congratulations to the veteran students! Niall and Bryce --- Boost C++ Libraries Google Summer of Code 2016 admin https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/SoC2016
