Selected organizations - are publicly announced and each organization is expected to provide a pool - of project ideas.</li> - <li>Student selection: students willing to participate submit one or more - project proposals, typically expanding on some of the ideas previously - provided by the mentoring organizations. A student can apply several times - and for different organizations, but ultimately can only be chosen for just - one project. These proposals are routed by Google to the appropriate - organizations, which must analyze them, rank them, and assign mentors to the - most promising applications. Based on the information provided by mentoring - organizations, Google issues the final list of accepted projects.</li> - <li>Development: Students, guided by their assigned mentors, are expected to - complete the projects in a period of three months. Google asks mentors for a - mid-program review upon which continuation of the project depends.</li> - <li>Final review: Once the development period is over, mentors are requested - to inform Google on the results of the project, and determine whether students - qualify to receive the full stipend.</li> -</ul> -</p> - -<h3><a name="2006_figures">2006 figures</a></h3> - -<p> -The 2006 campaign of Google Summer of Code took place between April 14 and -September 25. A total of 102 mentoring organizations participated. Of the 6,338 -applications submitted by 3,044 students around the globe, 630 were finally -selected and funded. Google has spent more than US$3 million in student stipends -and compensations to the mentoring organizations. -</p> - -<h2><a name="#boost_participation">Boost participation</a></h2> - -<h3><a name="#application_and_process_selection">Application and -process selection</a></h3> - -<p> -On April 14, the same day Google Summer of Code started, Julio M. Merino Vidal -(later to become one of the selected students) sent a message encouraging Boost -members to participate in this program as a mentoring organization. This call -sparked the interest of the community; although time was already short for doing -all the preparation labors, Boost moderators put rapidly themselves to work and -conducted the preliminary registration steps. In the meantime, a Wiki page was -grown with project ideas provided by Boost members, totalling more than twenty -proposals. -</p> - -<p> -By the beginning of May Boost was officially accepted into the program and Boost -moderators set out to form a group of mentors, selected on an invitation basis. -As student selection is a delicate process, involving the assessment of individuals -on their technical skills, all subsequent discussions were conducted by the -selected mentors on a private mail list established for their collaboration. -</p> - -<p> -We were not prepared for the avalanche of student applications that followed. On -day two after the application period was open, we had received three proposals; -next day it was 14, and within a week the count exceeded 50. By the end of the -application period the total number of proposals received was 174, which forced -us to go through a very intensive ranking process and recruit additional mentors. -Two rules were followed so as rationalize the process of selection among dozens -of different proposals: -<ul> - <li>Where there were competing applications for the same project idea, only - one were to be ultimately selected; so, no two projects with the same or very - similar goals were accepted.</li> - <li>Some of the applications built on a given Boost library (for instance, the - Boost Graph Library is a frequent target for the addition of algorithms.) We - limited the applications to a maximum of two per Boost library.</li> -</ul> -These rules have the combined effect of greatly reducing the number of eligible -applications while at the same time distributing the accepted projects evenly -across the space of ideas. Moreover, students with unique proposals, i.e. project -ideas not coming from the pool originally presented by Boost, are at a -competitive advantage. -</p> - -<p> -The different proposals were classified according to its related technological -area so that each cluster could be handled by an appointed mentor with the -required expertise on the subject. Mentors submitted then "focus reports" -summarizing the applications under their responsibility; these reports served as -a first filter to help reduce the number of final applications to be evaluated -jointly. Along the process, students with the most promising proposals were asked -to refine their ideas and provide further information. -</p> - -<p> -Although not enforced by the official rules, we agreed upon a one-to-one ratio -of mentors to students, which ultimately marked a hard limit on the maximum number -of eligible projects. -</p> - -<h3><a name="accepted_projects">Accepted projects</a></h3> - -<p> -Google accepted and funded the ten top-ranked projects endorsed by Boost.

There is a more or less implicit -consensus among Boost members that ours is a relatively niche project, known for -its quality standards by seasoned C++ practitioners, but with a limited penetration -among entry level programmers: maybe the figures above should make us reconsider -this assumption. A cursory examination of the applications submitted to Boost reveals -that most applicants were regular users of Boost: many cite the Boost status among -the C++ community as an appealing factor in order to apply. -</p> - -<h3><a name="opportunities_lost">Opportunities lost?</a></h3> - -<p> -If we look at the number of funded projects with respect to the applications received, -figures are not so favorable to Boost.</p> - -<p align="center"> -<table cellspacing="0"> -<tr> - <th align="left">Organization</th> - <th>No of projects</th> - <th>Project/app ratio</th> -</tr> -<tr> - <td>KDE</td> - <td align="center">24</td> - <td align="center">9.8 %</td> -</tr> -<tr class="odd_tr"> - <td>Ubuntu & Bazaar</td> - <td align="center">22</td> - <td align="center">9.3 %</td> -</tr> -<tr> - <td>Python Software Foundation</td> - <td align="center">23</td> - <td align="center">10.8 %</td> -</tr> -<tr class="odd_tr"> - <td>GNOME</td> - <td align="center">19</td> - <td align="center">9.5 %</td> -</tr> -<tr> - <td>Apache Software Foundation</td> - <td align="center">27</td> - <td align="center">14.2 %</td> -</tr> -<tr class="odd_tr"> - <td><b>Boost</b></td> - <td align="center"><b>10</b></td> - <td align="center"><b>5.7 %</b></td> -</tr> -<tr> - <td>Gaim</td> - <td align="center">8</td> - <td align="center">5.3 %</td> -</tr> -<tr class="odd_tr"> - <td>The GNU Project</td> - <td align="center">10</td> - <td align="center">6.8 %</td> -</tr> -<tr> - <td>Drupal</td> - <td align="center">14</td> - <td align="center">9.6 %</td> -</tr> -</table> -</p> - -<p> -It turns out that the project/application ratio for almost any other organization -among the top nine is considerably higher than that of Boost. As it happens, Google -initially requested that organizations submitted the maximum number of projects they -felt they could cope with, and we got funding for exactly what we aimed for, so the -limiting factor lies entirely on Boost's side. -</p> - -<h3><a name="projects_startup">Projects startup</a></h3> - -<p> -Contributing to Boost relies on a fair number of guidelines and protocols for -coding, documentation, testing and maintenance. Many of the required tools are -exclusively used within Boost, and some of them are not trivial, like for instance -Boost.Build. Although the Boost web site contains information about all these tools -and procedures, this intelligence is scattered through unrelated pages and sometimes -is very hard to come by. -</p> - -<p> -So, there is a good deal of expertise required to begin working at Boost. Some -students have reported on startup difficulties getting to know these details and -familiarizing themselves with the tools, most notably <code>bjam</code> and Quickbook.

In the majority of cases, it was realized at some point during -the development that there was no time to complete it. Some participants had to -redefine the goals in an effort to keep the project within schedule, while others -simply decided that they would continue working after the official deadline of -Summer of Code. -</p> - -<p> -The information flow between each student and their mentor was usually reported -by both parties to be satisfactory. The projects suffering from lack of -communication have been precisely those yielding the poorest results. In general, -mentors have not felt overwhelmed by requests from their students, and even in a -couple of cases the projects were run practically unattendedly. This fact is -witness to the high competence of the students recruited into the program. -</p> - -<p> -The degree of usage of the Trac/SVN system has varied. Some students did frequent -updates, while others have just used the repository to dump the final results for -the official submission to Google. -</p> - -<h3><a name="public_communication_issues">Public communication -issues</a></h3> - -<p> -Students and mentors had at their disposal three different forums for the public -interchange of information and support: -<ul> - <li>Boost public lists, especially the developers and users lists.</li> - <li>A dedicated mailing list reaching all students and mentors working at - Summer of Code in Boost.</li> - <li>A more casual Google Group, set up by one of the students, aimed at - providing the participants with a place for socializing and resolution of - common problems.</li> -</ul> -Despite this abundance of resources, there was an almost complete lack of group -communication among all the parties involved and between these and the larger -Boost community. Seemingly, students were satisfied to pursue their activities by -relying on support from their mentors alone. This circumstance has prevented -Boost members from enriching the initiative by offering their experience and -insight, and has possibly led students to the false impression that contributing -to Boost proceeds in a predictable linear path from requisites to completion of -the work. When asked about their not engaging in public communication, the students -gave vague justifications that can be classified into the following: -<ul> - <li>Doubts were deemed too technical or specific to be worth raising in - public.</li> - <li>A crave for perfectionism detracted students from asking or submitting work - in progress until they felt their material looked good enough.</li> - <li>Shyness: some students probably lacked previous experience communicating in - public, and most are not English native speakers, which could also be a - limiting factor.</li> -</ul> -Although students did not identify the following as a reason not to go public, it -is likely that many of them did not feel the need given the readily access to their -mentors they enjoyed. It is easy to grow used to such a dedicated source of support -and neglect resorting to other resources. Mentors should have encouraged their -students to pursue the public discussion of projects, which constitutes one of the -pillars of Boost renowned quality. -</p> - -<h3><a name="scope_of_projects">Scope of projects</a></h3> - -<p> -In hindsight, it has become apparent that most projects were too ambitious to be -completed within the three months of duration of the program, and even those that -were considered a success will need weeks or months of polishing up before the -material is ready for a formal review. In contrast with other organizations -participating in the Summer of Code program, Boost has as of this writing included -no results into its code base. No formal review for any project has been requested -yet, either. -</p> - -<p> -These scope issues are very dependent on the particular type of project. We can -classify the Boost projects for Summer of Code as follows: -<ul> - <li>Full-fledged libraries,</li> - <li>additions to existing Boost libraries,</li> - <li>utilities and tool projects using Boost.</li> -</ul> -Of these, additions (like for instance the mincut/maxflow algorithm for BGL by -Stephan Diederich) are the most suitable for completion in a short period of time: -most of the preparation work is already done, and the student has clear guides as -to what coding and documentation standards to follow. Also, these projects need -not undergo a formal review, since it is the responsibility of the hosting library -author to review the code and include it within her discretion. Utility projects -seem also suitable for small timeframes, though most project proposals and requests -are naturally oriented to contributions of actual code to the Boost project. -</p> - -<p> -As for those projects involving the design and realization of full-fledged -libraries, there is little hope that the goals and scope can be kept modest enough -for a three-month schedule. Boost candidate libraries developed by professional -authors usually take much longer than three months to be accepted; some libraries -have been evolving through several <i>years</i> before being included into Boost. -So, the best we can hope for if we are to support the realization of library projects -for Boost inside Summer of Code is that the results by the end of the program can -be evaluated to constitute a viable <i>potential</i> contribution to Boost. When this is -the case, it is crucial that the student commits to further working on the project -up to completion and formal review. Perhaps more important than getting libraries -coded is to engage new authors into a long-term relationship with the Boost project. -</p> - -<h2><a name="suggestions_for_improvement">Suggestions for improvement</a></h2> - -<p> -The following proposals aim to alleviate some of the problems we have identified -during the development of Summer of Code within Boost. These action points are -related only to the issues found in connection with Boost: we are not addressing -other areas of improvement associated to the Summer of Code program itself. -</p> - -<h3><a name="preparation">Preparation</a></h3> - -<p> -Much work can be done before the actual program begins. The following preparation -activities can already be launched: -</p> - -<p> -<b>Create a pool of ideas for projects.</b> This action will provide valuable extra -time for evaluation and refining of ideas before the Summer of Code begins. -The experience has shown that those projects with more preparation work, especially -in the area of design, were ultimately more successful. The pool can also be used -to retain interesting ideas that arise at the mailing lists and very often are -not given proper attention and become abandoned. -</p> - -<p> -<b>Create a student pool.</b> Prior involvement with Boost is clearly an advantage -both in the selection phase and later during project development. Those students -with a serious interest in participating in Summer of Code with Boost can enter -the pool and begin exploring ideas and interacting with the community well in -advance of the summer, so as to put themselves in a favorable position for the -selection. Advertisement for the student pool can be initiated in the beginning of -2007 through the usual channels (web site and mailing lists): additionally, Boost -members involved with the University can spread this information locally and help -raise the interest of students in their environment. -</p> - -<p> -<b>Create a mentor pool.</b> Given the rush with which Boost entered the 2006 -Summer of Code campaign, the invitation of mentors has to be done on an on-demand -basis as it became all too evident that the task was growing bigger and bigger. -It is important that the organization is better prepared next year so that a -number of people with the ability and will to participate as Boost mentors are -identified in advance. -</p> - -<p> -<b>Prepare a startup package.</b> In order to facilitate the initial period of -getting familiarized with the various Boost guidelines, protocols and tools, it -would be extremely useful to prepare a compilation of startup material for -students. This package can consist of a single document gathering the currently -dispersed information, or go beyond this and provide some bundle of documentation -and pre-built tools, an approach that one of the students is currently working on. -</p> - -<h3><a name="public_communication">Public communication</a></h3> - -<p> -It is crucial that students get involved with the community as soon as possible -and grow to appreciate the advantages of public development with respect to -solitary coding. -</p> - -<p> -<b>Mandate (bi)weekly reports.</b> These reports should be directed to the public -mailing lists so as to give all Boost members an opportunity to follow the work -in progress and contribute. Reporting has the extra benefit for students of -forcing them to reflect on their own work periodically and struggle with the -often difficult task of presenting their ideas to others. -</p> - -<p> -<b>Conduct student-mentor exclusively through public channels.</b> This might be -too drastic a policy, as some matters need privacy, and depending on the amount -of information exchanged flooding problems may arise. Less severe variations -involve allowing for some private interchange at the mentors' discretion and -moving this kind of communication to a dedicated public mailing list different -from the general ones. -</p> - -<h3><a name="project_management">Project management</a></h3> - -<p> -The two most important issues to improve upon with respect to the management are: -<ul> - <li>Project scope must be kept under control,</li> - <li>The progress has to be publicly visible, so that problems of scope, - design and/or schedule can be more easily detected.</li> -</ul> -Some of the proposals in this section are not to be regarded as strict rules, -but rather as general guidelines to be kept in mind by students and encouraged -by mentors. -</p> - -<p> -<b>Create a best practices document.</b> This document can serve as a guideline -for project management, an area in which Boost traditionally imposes no -requirements. Students might lack the expertise in this area that is usually -taken for granted in the traditional model where contributions to Boost are -made by professional programmers. -</p> - -<p> -<b>Mandate a design phase.</b> Having a concrete design set up and clearly -described early in the project will help estimate the necessary effort for -completion of the work. This is also an opportunity for public discussion. -</p> - -<p> -<b>Maintain code, docs and tests in parallel.</b> All too often, novice -programmers do the coding in one fell swoop and only then move to testing and -documenting their work. This is unacceptable by all current methodology -standards, and can result in serious underestimations of the time to -completion. -</p> - -<p> -<b>Encourage the KISS principle.</b> It is much better to finish a simpler library -and then iteratively evolve it, once it has been exposed to public scrutiny and -usage. -</p> - -<p> -<b>More Trac updates.</b> The repository should be viewed as an everyday work -tool, not only as the place into which to dump the final results. Updating often -leads to more visibility of the work by the mentor and the public in general. -</p> - -<p> -<b>Informal reviews.</b> The typical Summer of Code Boost project will not be -completed by the official deadline, as have been discussed earlier. To somehow -officialize the work done within the Summer of Code proper, and also to allow -the students to reach some sort of psychological milestone, informal reviews can -be instituted where Boost members evaluate the work done at then end of Summer -of Code. -</p> - -<p> -<b>Engage students.</b> This experience has shown that it is possible to guide -willing and bright students to the competence levels required for contributing -to Boost. The best possible outcome of Summer of Code campaigns are the -incorporation of new people into the circle of Boost active contributors. Strive -to make the students commit to Boost. -</p> - -<h2><a name="conclusions">Conclusions</a></h2> - -<p> -Despite the lack of previous experience in Boost, our participation in Google -Summer of Code has been extremely fruitful: much useful material has been produced, -and, perhaps more importantly, some of the students are likely to commit on a -long-term basis and grow to be regular Boost contributors. Traditionally, becoming -a productive Boost author has a very high entry barrier due to the extreme quality -standards, lack of public support and the very specific culture of the project. -The appeal of Summer of Code itself and the possibility of being gently mentored -into the world of Boost have most likely been key factors in lowering this entry -barrier. -</p> - -<p> -The process has not been without some difficulties, either, as it was expected of -a newcomer organization as Boost. We have tried to identify in this paper the -areas of improvement and suggest specific actions so that the upcoming Google -Summer of Code 2007 can be an even more rewarding experience. -</p> - -<h2><a name="acknowledgements">Acknowledgements</a></h2> - -<p> -This paper couldn't have been written without the numerous reports and contributions -kindly provided by Boost students and mentors: Many thanks to all the participants -for sharing their experiences with me. Thank you also to the people at Google who -have promoted and conducted the Summer of Code initiative. -</p> - -<hr> - -<p>Revised October 17th 2006</p> - -<p>© Copyright 2006 Joaquín M López Muñoz. -Distributed under the Boost Software -License, Version 1.0.

Robert mentioned that Herb Sutter -was working on a spoof proposal for a new language named Booze, which was -supposed to be better than Java. Somehow that kicked off the idea of -"Boost" as a name.

The more people participate, the less they tend to be annoyed by -"noise".</p> - -<p><b>How can I cope with the large volume of boost mailing list messages?</b> -One approach is to use the "digest" option; that cuts the email blizzard -down to several (long) messages per day, so you can glance over the subjects -summary at the top and quickly read what you think is important. The "no -mail" option turns off list email entirely.</p> - -<p>Another approach is to follow the list traffic via an NTTP newsgroup reader. -See <a href="mailing_lists.htm#newsgroup">Mailing List</a> newsgroup -information.</p> - -<p><b>Why do Boost headers have a .hpp suffix rather than .h or none at all?</b> -File extensions communicate the "type" of the file, both to humans and -to computer programs. The '.h' extension is used for C header files, and -therefore communicates the wrong thing about C++ header files. Using no -extension communicates nothing and forces inspection of file contents to -determine type. Using '.hpp' unambiguously identifies it as C++ header file, and -works well in actual practice.

Feature models are -then used to drive design cycles which eventually lead to manual or automatic -assembly of configurations.</p> -<p>Feature models provide a language to describe the library variability that is -often such an issue in boost.org discussions. The Whorf hypothesis that -"Language shapes the way we think, and determines what we can think -about" seems to apply. In discussion of library variability issues, -we have been crippled by lack of a good language. With feature models we now -have a language to carry on the dialog.</p> -<p>The graphical feature diagrams presented by C&E are not in a suitable -form for the email discussions boost.org depends upon. The hierarchical nature -of feature diagrams can be represented by a simple text-based feature diagram -language. A feature model can also take advantage of the hyperlinks -inherent in HTML.</p> -<h2><a name="Grammar">Grammar</a></h2> -<p>The grammar for the feature diagram language is expressed in Extended -Bakus-Naur Form; ::= represents productions, [...] represents options, {...} -represents zero or more instances, and represents | alternatives.</p> -<blockquote> - <pre>feature-model ::= concept-name details { feature }</pre> - <pre>feature ::= feature-name [details]</pre> - <pre>details ::= "(" feature-list ")" // required features - | "[" feature-list "]" // optional features</pre> - <pre>feature-list ::= element { "|" element } // one only - | element { "+" element } // one or more - | element { "," element } // all - // [a+b] equivalent to [a,b]</pre> - <pre>element ::= feature - | details</pre> - <pre>concept-name ::= name</pre> - <pre>feature-name ::= name</pre> -</blockquote> -<p>The usual lexical conventions apply.

If you identify problems along - the way, please note if they are minor, serious, or showstoppers.</p> - - <p>The goal of a Boost library review is to improve the library through - constructive criticism, and at the end a decision must be made: is the - library good enough at this point to accept into Boost? If not, we hope to - have provided enough constructive criticism for it to be improved and - accepted at a later time. The Serialization library is a good example of how - constructive criticism resulted in revisions resulting in an excellent - library that was accepted in its second review.</p> - - <p>Here are some questions you might want to answer in your review:</p> - - <ul> - <li>What is your evaluation of the design?<br></li> - - <li>What is your evaluation of the implementation?<br></li> - - <li>What is your evaluation of the documentation?<br></li> - - <li>What is your evaluation of the potential usefulness of the - library?<br></li> - - <li>Did you try to use the library? With what compiler? Did - you have any problems?<br></li> - - <li>How much effort did you put into your evaluation? A glance? A quick - reading? In-depth study?<br></li> - - <li>Are you knowledgeable about the problem domain?</li> - </ul> - - <p>And finally, every review should answer this question:<br></p> - - <ul> - <li>Do you think the library should be accepted as a Boost library? - Be sure to say this explicitly so that your other comments don't obscure - your overall opinion.</li> - </ul> - - <p>Many reviews include questions for library authors. Authors are - interested in defending their library against your criticisms; otherwise - they would not have brought their library up for review. If you don't get a - response to your question quickly, be patient; if it takes too long or you - don't get an answer you feel is sufficient, ask again or try to rephrase the - question. Do remember that English is not the native language for many - Boosters, and that can cause misunderstandings.<br> - <br> - E-mail is a poor communication medium, and even if messages rarely get lost - in transmission, they often get drowned in the deluge of other messages. - Don't assume that an unanswered message means you're being ignored. Given - constructively, criticism will be taken better and have more positive - effects, and you'll get the answers you want.</p> - - <h2><a name="Results">Results</a></h2> - - <p>At the conclusion of the comment period, the Review Manager will post a - message to the mailing list saying if the library has been accepted or - rejected. A rationale is also helpful, but its extent is up to the - Review Manager. If there are suggestions, or conditions that must be met - before final inclusion, they should be stated.</p> - - <h2>Notes for <a name="Review_Manager" id="Review_Manager">Review - Manager</a>s</h2> - - <p>Before a library can be scheduled for formal review, an active boost - member not connected with the library submission must volunteer to be the - "Review Manager" for the library.</p> - - <p>The Review Manager:</p> - - <ul> - <li>Checks the submission to make sure it really is complete enough to - warrant formal review.
