Hi, The process for applying is explained here: https://github.com/boostorg/boost/wiki/Boost-Google-Summer-of-Code-2018 Step 4 has a template for the proposal. Best regards, Damian 2018-03-12 10:12 GMT-04:00 Rajat Miglani via Boost :

Is there any specific template that I should follow for the proposal or I can make it my own way?

Thanks,

Rajat Miglani

Hi, From the top of my head, the big missing pieces are the safefloat literals, some pieves of unit testing (copile and runtime), documentation, implementing some of the policies that are already defined. Maybe a better way to specify policies could be implemented. However, the complete list of things being done is what your proposal is about, you need to define the milestones and goals for the project.

I have read the paper "Goldberg, David. "What every computer scientist should know about floating-point arithmetic." ACM Computing Surveys (CSUR) 23.1 (1991): 5-48."and documentation and now having a little understanding of what this project is about.Presently going through the code and concepts, please guide me of what changes I have to do in the previous code to make it better.

Hi Rajat, For the Boost.SafeFloat project, I suggest you take a look to the following links: - Repository: https://github.com/sdavtaker/safefloat - Documentation: https://sdavtaker.github.io/safefloat/doc/htm l/index.html

Also, try to read this paper if you didn't before: Goldberg, David. "What every computer scientist should know about floating-point arithmetic." ACM Computing Surveys (CSUR) 23.1 (1991): 5-48. From the C++ perspective, key concepts you need to know are: - Templates (a lot of it) - Custom Literals

A good proposal would be to take a read to the documentation and code base and describe what is missing to complete the project. Best regards, Damian Vicino

Dear boost community, I am a GSOC aspirant and I'd like to contribute to your organization. I have read the project ideas and is interested in working on:- 1)Boost.SafeFloat or 2)Enhancing Boost.Intrusive Library Can I get some more info about how to work on these projects and the basic requirements so that I can learn them and be able to contribute to my fullest.

Thank you,
