The idea behind Boost was hatched in March, 1998, and the proposal document https://www.boost.org/users/proposal.pdf was released May 6, 1998. That makes Boost twenty years old, and makes me twenty years older. It is high time I retire from Boost; I haven't been able to contribute for some time now.
Thanks to all of you who made Boost such an overwhelming success in the past and will drive Boost forward into a bright future!
Thank you, Beman. You're one of the fathers of Boost, the project that I chose to contribute for the first time many years ago and still enjoy contributing to and working with. Your input in Boost and C++ is invaluable.
