Re: [boost] Potential Mentor's Interest in Boost GSoC2020

I agree with the idea of students making the proposal, and we mostly get students taking that path. However, at this stage Google expect us to propose something to show that there is mentoring and org interest when we apply as a organization to get included in the program. So, having some mentor proposed projects helps with the process. El vie., 17 ene. 2020 a las 13:03, Mateusz Loskot via Boost (< boost@lists.boost.org>) escribió:

Do other potential mentors have suitable projects and interest in mentoring?

As last year, I'm interested in mentoring for GIL during this edition. I don't have any specific projects on the plate, but there is still plenty to do as continuation of Miral Shah's project adding image processing algorithms: https://github.com/boostorg/gil/wiki/GSoC-2019

We have a list of wishes and ideas for GIL https://github.com/boostorg/gil/wiki/Boost.GIL-3-Ideas that may serve interested students as an inspiration (e.g. color management is an interesting area).

I personally prefer when a student approaches with a project proposal she/he is very keen to develop or at least approaches with an idea and works out project details with prospect mentor(s).

I consider coming up with an idea or project as an initial homework filtering genuine interest in solving a particular problem rather than piggybacking Boost & GSoC to improve CV.
