Hi, My name is Vardhan Gupta. I am a 2nd year undergraduate student from IIT Kanpur.

I am interested in working on project #3 of Boost.uBLAS on adding multicore and gpu computations to uBLAS. I have created a private repository of it's competency test on gitlab. Now, I am having trouble in sharing the repository with the mentors since I do not have their email address. how do I share it/find their e-mail address?

Hi Vardhan,

I would be interested in mentoring such a project, so please get in touch to let me review what you have done, and to discuss project details and how to prepare a submission.

Regards,

Stefan

Hi, I have been in touch with David through mails only, and I am not sure if other medium(s) for discussion exist. Sounds a good idea to have a dedicated channel for the same. project(s) related to any potential Boost module and then look for the prospective students.

Is there some other place where potential mentors meet to discuss ? I think it would be useful to have such a channel to coordinate a bit. I would like to contribute but so far haven't heard anything (other than getting a formal invitation from David).

Right. When I first reviewed the proposed project page I figured there were already a number of uBlas proposals that it would make more sense for me to help there (in particular as I didn't recognize many names on the mentor list, and thus didn't know what projects they were associated with). If the uBlas project is covered, even better. I could of course propose one or two Boost.Python projects (there is lots to do), though I suppose it's a bit late for that now. However, if any prospective student reads this and is interested to work on Boost.Python, please don't hesitate to get in touch !

Thanks,

Stefan

Students can propose their own projects.

Actually, it's a bit scary (from the student point of view) that in Boost org, you need to convince some mentor to have interest in your project. I mean, this year we have mentors for Boost.uBLAS, Boost.Geometry and Boost.SafeFloat, but what is the student expected to do if he has a good idea for Boost.Spirit or would like to revisit an abandoned proposal from previous years? Here, not only the project/proposal itself must be good (which is expected and okay), but he needs to find a mentor that will have (personal) interest in the subject of the proposal.

I do not think we need to encourage (nor should) students to come up with their own proposals (Inkscape had “bonus points” on the proposal ranking if you did that), but at least it should be know that this is an option for them.

Fair enough. I added Boost.Python to the list, with a (fairly vague) description of things to do. Anyone interested can get in touch so we could flesh out a real project proposal. Regards, Stefan -- ...ich hab' noch einen Koffer in Berlin...

Hi Stefan,

we don't really have a mailing list for GSOC. Would be much easier indeed. Github doesn't provide anything like that as far as I know. Do you know who manages the boost mailing-list ? I could ask him/her.

I don't know either. Yes, I think a mailing list that for each GSoC participation would be populated by participating mentors and administrators, and temporarily used for coordination, would be helpful. (I wouldn't want to be permanently on such a list, however.) But for more technical discussions I think it's best to leave it to the individual projects to figure out what channels to use for communication.

And yes, your input on GPU would be very valuable by the way.

Cool. Do you have established channels where you discuss design and other technical topics specific to the ublas project ? What would be the best way to "meet" and discuss ? Regards, Stefan -- ...ich hab' noch einen Koffer in Berlin...
