Hi everyone,

I was speaking to the good folks at Boost about the Google Summer of 
Code and the possibility of working on a computational geometry 
library.  They suggested that I also visit you guys.  Even though you 
may not have currently applied to be a Summer of Code mentor, there is 
actually still a few days to do so!

What is Summer of Code? It's an opportunity for students to contribute 
to open source projects by submitting project proposals to participating 
organizations and being selected by the organization to follow through 
on their project.  The student gets matched up with a mentor who guides 
the student and offers support.  More information can be found on the 
Summer of Code website (http://code.google.com/soc/).

If you are at all interested in participating in this initiative, I 
suggest applying as a mentoring organization right away.  If you already 
have, that's great! In either case, I would love to be able to submit a 
proposal to you as I am very much interested in computational geometry.

A bit about me:
I'm in my last semester of Computer Science at Carleton University in 
Ottawa, ON, Canada.  I have strong interests in computer 
vision/graphics/computational geometry.  In fact, I will be beginning my 
Masters of Computer Science in this area in September.  This will be at 
Carleton University as well since the school has the largest 
computational geometry group in North America, or so I'm told :)   I 
have some interesting industry experience at Ross Video (they make live 
video production switchers) and Corel (I worked on CorelDRAW, software 
I've known and loved since I was a kid).

I'd love to hear what you guys think about this, and even if you won't 
be participating in Summer of Code this year, I would like to think I'd 
be able to contribute one day in the future!

Cheers,
Gail
