I'm very interested about Boost.Compute. We started to explore GPU
computations too for Boost.uBLAS. So far, nothing in the main tree but
that's a highly desired feature too.
What do you guys wanna do with that ?

Regarding Audio, I was thinking about another idea: a GFX library in Boost.
OK, Herb Sutter proposed that to Cairo a few days ago and maybe we could do
a joint GSoC project with Boost, Cairo and the ISO C++ Committee.

Regarding uBlas, we've still have plenty of projects again:
- solvers. We need solvers
- matrix factorization: here I'm thinking more about non-negative matrix
factorization approximations, Bayesian factorizations, etc...
- more specific support of ARM and/or Power architecture
