Projects for GSoC 2020
Hi Boost community, so far we received a few good contributions for projects for GSoC 2020. The proposals are from our usual mentors but I'm surprised we don't have more projects in data structures and algorithms. Most of what we have concern numerical problems. It's great but I wish to see more diversity in the type of projects we propose. We want to attract the best students around the world and push toward new C++ standards and improvements of what we already have. Being a mentor is a great experience and on top of it, without too much effort, you will get someone of quality working for you during all the summer. The wiki page for projects is here: https://github.com/boostorg/wiki/wiki/Google-Summer-of-Code%3A-2020 Please come, edit and contribute. Cheers, David

Maybe the suggestions put forward do solicit few 'other' proposals. For containers, f.e. there are many 'entertaining' and useful things to consider, segment tree, spaghetti stack, trie, binary index tree, beap, kd-tree, bkd-tree, disjoint-set, n-ary tree, etc etc, etc. https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/advanced-data-structures/ presents many different data structures, there also a section on algos. degski -- @realdegski https://brave.com/google-gdpr-workaround/ "We value your privacy, click here!"

It sounds a good idea to me. Would you like to propose a project and be a
mentor?
It would be great!
David
