[gsoc19] late application for Boost.SafeFloat
by Thomas Ferrand 03 Apr '19

03 Apr '19

Hello, I am a student and I am interested in taking part of GSoC this summer. But I am a little late as the application are due to next week so I was wondering if I could still take part. The project I am interested in is Boost.SafeFloat, mentored by Damian Vicino. As for the competency test, it has already been taken care of as I believe it is the same that last year and I completed it then https://github.com/aTom3333/boost_competency_test/ Thomas Ferrand

Boost.Python does not have any added projects as of yet. I have completed my competency test and have a couple of ideas of my own.Need a potential mentor to discuss them with and review my proposal. Thanks.

[gsoc][gsoc19] Communication between students and mentors
by Mateusz Loskot 02 Apr '19

02 Apr '19

Hi, Are there any guidelines related to communication between students and mentors during GSoC? Many participating organisations and projects do explicitly recommend that student/mentor communication is conducted via public channels. e.g. https://docs.moodle.org/dev/GSOC """ Note: With regards to the communication culture in the Moodle project: We always prefer transparent communication in public forums and tracker comments over private messages and emails. Please respect this and avoid contacting GSOC admins and mentors directly unless you really need to talk about something sensitive or personal. """ or at least regular/weekly reports to dedicated and project-specific list https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_Recommendations_for_Stude… Would it be possible to ask for similar transparent mode during Boost GSoC? I do realise one challenge is that Boost mailing list traffic could increase a lot, too much for some subscribers. Perhaps a solution to that could be setting up dedicated lists: gsoc(a)lists.boost.org or even <library>@lists.boost.org Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net

[gsoc19] Seeking a mentor for Boost.GIL project
by Igor Antropov 02 Apr '19

02 Apr '19

DearSir/Madam, My name isIgor Antropov and I would like to participate in GSoC 2019.I amfirst-year undergraduate master majoring in Software Engineering at ITMOUniversity (Saint Petersburg National Research University of Information Technologies,Mechanics and Optics).I aminterested in computer vision and C++. I have made AR-application using Unityand OpenCVForUnity at my third-year of bachelor degree. Unfortunately, thatOpenCVForUnity was based on OpenCV version 2.1 or smaller and was the only onefree to use. There was no algorithm for markers detection, so I had to codeit. At the fourth-year, I have implementobject tracking algorithm with C++ and OpenCV using HOG features and colornames features. Additionally, I havebeen working as programmer with Qt for 1 year. I aminterested in implementation of different algorithms using GIL, so I propose toimplement some image feature detection and matching algorithms. For example,ORB keypoints detector(http://www.willowgarage.com/sites/default/files/orb_final.pdf) and brute-forcematching. Besides, I think Boost.GIL numeric algorithms can have some improvements (add 2D convolution, add convolve_option_extend_reflect as convolve_boundary_options). If Boost.GIL users need some other algorithms to be implemented,please contact me. As my competencytest, I have implement a simple Canny edge detection algorithm using GIL. https://github.com/boostorg/gil/pull/258 Sincerely, IgorAntropov

[gsoc19] Seeking a mentor for Boost.Geometry project related to triangulation and random sampling
by Tinko Bartels 01 Apr '19

01 Apr '19

Hi, I am interested in participating in this year's Google Summer of Code with a contribution to Boost.Geometry. I am looking for mentors and I understand that potential mentors for Boost.Geometry-related projects are Vissarion Fysikopoulos and Adam Wulkiewicz. My proposal is a project that is based on project 3 and 4 for Boost.Geometry in the Wiki. I propose to add concepts for triangles, triangulation, and point-generators for random sampling, as well as corresponding models and an algorithm for Delaunay-triangulation with parametrizable geometric predicates. The first draft of my proposal can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/17M44Hpn0KMuECztCbkvTYIeN2EiXbMAUsVni22K… My implementation of the tasks in the competency tests can be found here: https://tinko92.github.io/boost_geometry_GSoC_2019_project_3_4_test/ I'd be thankful for any feedback. Kind regards, Tinko Bartels -- Sent from: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/Boost-Dev-f2600599.html
