Senior students eager to write a graduation work
Hi, I've got in touch with some professors in IT universities. They have a bunch of senior students that are in search of projects for their graduation work. Seems that Boost Libraries could benefit from that. Mentoring a senior student usually takes less time than implementing something on your own. Do you have any Boost related projects that could be done by students? Is there a list of such projects and mentors anywhere? -- Best regards, Antony Polukhin

I'm interested in doing such mentoring work. Nowadays I haven't dedicated much time to contributing to ASIO, but there are a few annoying issues (especially on FreeBSD) that I'd like to see solved. One of them is pretty easy and shouldn't take much time (just doing MSG_DONTWAIT instead of fcntl/O_NONBLOCK on pipes/sockets to better model the Capsicum threat model which should benefit Linux as well when Landlock adds a Capsicum mode). If the student takes a liking to the project, I can mentor him in a few more elaborate changes. -- Vinícius dos Santos Oliveira https://vinipsmaker.github.io/

Depends. I have tooling (which includes some C++ libraries) related work that is adjacent to Boost. But it really depends on what students are expected to accomplish and are interested in. I'm guessing these are undergrad Senior students right? What C++ knowledge level would they be at? I'm thinking we need potential mentors to create a database of tasks and related knowledge levels to accomplish them so that someone can match students to tasks. -- -- René Ferdinand Rivera Morell -- Don't Assume Anything -- No Supongas Nada -- Robot Dreams - http://robot-dreams.net
