Hi everyone!

My name is Gail and I just joined the mailing list.  I'm very interested 
in Google's Summer of Code program and am hoping to participate for the 
first time this year.  I came across Boost when I needed a 
platform-independent means of threading for my honors project, and 
realized afterward that there were several Boost projects in last year's 
SoC!

A bit about me:
I'm in my last semester of Computer Science at Carleton University in 
Ottawa, ON, Canada.  I have strong interests in computer 
vision/graphics/computational geometry.  In fact, I will be beginning my 
Masters of Computer Science in this area in September.  This will be at 
Carleton University as well since the school has the largest 
computational geometry group in North America, or so I'm told :)  I have 
some interesting industry experience at Ross Video (they make live video 
production switchers) and Corel (I worked on CorelDRAW, software I've 
known and loved since I was a kid).

I hope that I've come to the right place to find out more about Boost 
and its relation to SoC, and would love to try and find out what kind of 
development is most desired for SoC.  I noticed that last year's project 
ideas included some computational geometry libraries - anything in this 
area would be a real treat for me to work on!

Looking forward to talking with you,
Gail
