Google just announced the seven proposals which were accepted for Boost. The (entire) list can be found here: http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/projects/list/google/gsoc2013 Congratulations to the successful students! Good luck and much fun in this summer's Boost C++ projects! :) For those students who were not selected: Feel free to contact me for the details! We actually asked Google for more than seven slots because we got more than seven amazing proposals. Unfortunately the number of slots is just limited. And so we had to make some tough decisions. :/ I also thank everyone who had volunteered to mentor a project! I know that not everyone could get the project they wanted. But maybe there is still enough motivation to move forward with some projects outside of the Google Summer of Code program. :) Boris

It works for me, eventually. I'm assuming that it's some slow JavaScript at work. (So presumably you need JS enabled, and the ability to do XMLHttpRequest etc.) Best Regards, Anthony Foiani

Double check that you are allowing JavaScript on that page? As I said, it's a bit slow here, but it does eventually complete. I took a look at the requests, but I didn't see an obvious way to have it filter before trying to load everything. :( If you like, you can look at the "key" given in this view: http://foiani.home.dyndns.org/~tony/boost/gsoc-2013.png Prefix "http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/" and you should have a valid link. There is probably an easier way to do this... Best regards, Anthony Foiani

Me too. Presumably my browser is too old, or something. Can someone just post a list of the 7 accepted project titles? Thanks, Phil.

Someone already did: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/241939 The titles are: Multiple-source shortest paths for planar graphs Boost.uBlas - Parallelized computations with MPI technology Boost.Trie Boost.Math Bernoulli Numbers and Applications to Special Functions POSIX Asynchronous File I/O Support for Boost.ASIO Parallel Backends for odeint uBlas Performance Math Library

I'll send an invoice for the 30 CPU seconds it took for the JavaScript to search the list. :) Daniel Mitchell Multiple-source shortest paths for planar graphs http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/google/gsoc2013/dmitchell/21001 dla Boost.uBlas - Parallelized computations with MPI technology http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/google/gsoc2013/dla/39001 Hardy Boost.Trie http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/google/gsoc2013/ithlony/18001 Nikhar Boost.Math Bernoulli Numbers and Applications to Special Functions http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/google/gsoc2013/nikhar/52001 p_kirth POSIX Asynchronous File I/O Support for Boost.ASIO http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/google/gsoc2013/ilovepi/48001 Pascal Schmitt Parallel Backends for odeint http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/google/gsoc2013/earnocks/18001 Sathyam M Vellal uBlas Performance Math Library http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/google/gsoc2013/sathyamvellal/130... -- Lars Viklund | zao@acc.umu.se

Congratulations to the successful students! Good luck and much fun in this summer's Boost C++ projects! :) <...> I also thank everyone who had volunteered to mentor a project! I know that not everyone could get the project they wanted. But maybe there is still enough motivation to move forward with some projects outside of the Google Summer of Code program. :)

I hope in next year there will be more than 7 slots available for Boost. Congratulations to all who made it! A bunch of questions that will soon arise: * What is the preferred method for communications between student and mentors? Shall it be private mails, or writing to Boost mailing list with "[boost] [gsoc] [`project name`] " header is better? * Is there a "Recommendations" wiki page for students? Something like: recommended structure of the project is /boost/`project name` for header files and boost/libs/`project name` for other files. Write documentation using Quickbook. -- Best regards, Antony Polukhin

* Private email between student and mentors for most things, but post general questions to the Boost list(s) to ask for help as usual. I think all the mentor-student traffic would clutter the already-busy Boost lists. * Past year used the sandbox/soc/2011 but whether we use /SOC now that GITization of Boost is looming I am less clear. I fear getting involved in the changeover, but many people are keen gitters already so ... Paul --- Paul A.

I was so happy to receive the mail saying my proposal had been accepted. During the time waiting for the result, I learned much about C++, STL and Boost. Now that I've known who is my mentor(Darren Garvey), how should I contact with him? Should I just discuss in the mailing list or discuss with him more privately? Thanks very much!

First, congrats. You should contact your mentor first. Ask him about the rules and get acquainted with the procedure. Have fun coding!! On Tue May 28 2013 05:07:14 PM IST, Hardy wrote:

Well done! There was such a good set of proposals this year that a small amount of luck was required to get a place on top of a great proposal. Hopefully we get a few more slots to play with next year. I really hope the lack of a slot doesn't discourage anyone from going any further with their proposals. Hardy, you have a few interested mentors this year actually! I'll send you an email privately to introduce us and we can get ourselves ready for the summer. Cheers, Darren
