Hi all

I am no expert in OpenCL nor GPGPU, but very interested in this topic and would love to learn more about it. 
I volunteer to take care of the maintenance of this library.
Since I have no experience with the Boost way of handling PRs etc., I guess would need some support from an experienced library maintainer in the beginning. 

Until now I was a silent reader here, so let me shortly introduce myself:
My name is René Eng, 57 years old, living in Switzerland. I am working as a C++ developer for more than 20 years, in the high performance/low latency area. I have experience with some other Boost sub-libraries, in the past also used b2 to build Boost when there were no packages available yet. 

If there is no-one else with more experience in this topic, who wants to take over this library, I would. 
This week I am on holiday, so I would actually start to take a closer look into it next week. 

Best regards 
René
