[cpp-netlib-devel] Google Summer of Code

[Derrick H. <d.h...@ag...>]

Hello C++ Network Library Developers,
I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Derrick Hathaway, I am a
senior at Utah State University majoring in Computer Science. I have
been programming in C++ for about 8 years academically and
professionally for the last 2. As a C++ programmer I rely heavily on
Boost and the STL. I have used several of the boost libraries
including Boost.Thread, IOStreams, Serialization, Smart Pointers, and
many more. I have also recently been using ASIO to develop my capstone
project [derrickhathaway.googlepages.com].

I am interested in contributing to the project and plan to submit a
proposal to do so as a part of Google's Summer of Code program. I
first spoke with Michael Dickey about contributing to the Pion Network
Library a week ago, and have been in communication with him since
then. I have read the design documents regarding C++ Network Library
and explored the code (a little). Any suggestions would be welcomed.

I am excited to get involved and am even considering the possibility
of sharpening my teeth on the project by defining and implementing a
simple market data service protocol using C++ Network Library as part
of my capstone project. Is the library at a stage where this is
possible?

Thanks in advance.

Derrick Hathaway
