Valid point. I understand that may be the case indeed. OTOH, I think, the CMake has become a delicate topic in Boost. Every time I want to ask about any kind of use of CMake in Boost, I fear that will make the snowball rolling down the hill, again :) For instance, I wish Boost offered CMake support library, review eg. BCM and let it in. I'm not speaking of building Boost with CMake, no! I mean joint development of support scripts for Modern CMake which are useful for those Boost library developers who wish to add CMake configuration (along the official BB2), for convenience. I think such bunch of Boost for CMake scripts would foster better common practices. Currently, there is bunch of CMake-enabled libraries, each developed in isolation, each using different conventions, techniques, custom macros, modules. Lately, I was adding CMake setup for Boost.GIL. It made me wondering why the BCM thing is not in boost/tools/bcm. Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net

Hello, My name is Abhinav and I am currently a Btech second-year student of IIT Patna, India. Recently, I was going through the project ideas listed on the Wiki page of Boost and I am very interested to work on the project idea- "Similarity between geometries". I am very keen to share my ideas on the project and I would give a detailed description of this very idea in my proposal shortly. I sincerely look forward to your reply. Thanks.

Re: [boost] [GSoC 2018] A Few Questions about Boost.uBLAS

Hello Stefan, Here is my Programming Competency Test repo: https://github.com/philectron/gsoc2018-boost-ublas-competency What are the next steps I need to take to get involved in Boost.uBLAS? Thank you! <quote author='Boost - Dev mailing list'> On 19.03.2018 00:11, philectron via Boost wrote: > Hello, > > I'm interested in working on *Boost.uBLAS* library. *I've fundamentally > finished the Programming Competency Test for this project.

Note that you are only referring to "Boost.uBLAS" as a whole. As you'll see on https://github.com/boostorg/boost/wiki/Boost-Google-Summer-of-Code-2018, there are actually multiple project proposals for this library. Also, note that these are mere proposals. There is no reason to restrict yourself to those. Feel free to suggest your own. (In fact, taking the initiative to reframe things according to your own expertise and interest demonstrates your ability to work autonomously, which is very valuable.) > > *2.* How will I submit my Programming Competency Test? I suggest you create a (temporary) github repo for it and then us (the potential mentors) the link to it. > > *3.* Has anyone taken this project already? There are a few submissions for the Boost.uBLAS library, yes. None are formally "taken" though. They are all in development, and will further evolve till the deadline. > > *4.* If 3 = yes, do you allow multiple people working on the same project > for GSoC 2018? See my answer to 1). I have no idea how many slots Google will give to Boost, and accordingly, how many slots an individual library (such as Boost.uBLAS) will get. > > *5.* If 5 = no, what project should I work on?

That's very hard to say without knowing a bit more about your programming experience and your interests. I suggest you put together a little "resume" of your education and programming background, then pick one of the competency tests above, just to get started. Then we can iterate over that and see whether there is a possible match.

The modifications in this new version are extensions to the next sections: - Availability - Software development tools - Software documentation tool I have also specified that this project is based on a precanned project but it is not the same as the one posted on the boost Github.
