[boost] [Review] Polynomial library review begins today

The review of Pawel Kieliszczyk's Polynomial library begins today and  
ends on Thurs 19th March.

Download of the zip file from the vault is here: http://www.boostpro.com/vault/index.php?action=downloadfile&filename=polynomial.zip&directory=&PHPSESSID=bbc9a84b382be1fc412254cfe30b925b

Otherwise the library is present in the sandbox here: https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/SOC/2008/polynomial/

And the docs can be read online here: https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/SOC/2008/polynomial/libs/docs/index.html

The polynomial library contains a single class - polynomial<FieldType>  
- used for the manipulation of polynomials, along with a selection of  
algorithms which operate upon them.  The library is an extension/ 
rewrite of the existing "implementation detail" polynomial class in  
Boost.Math, and was written as part of last years Google Summer of  
Code under the mentorship of Fernando Cacciola.

What to include in Review Comments
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Your comments may be brief or lengthy, but basically the Review  
Manager needs your evaluation of the library. If you identify problems  
along the way, please note if they are minor, serious, or showstoppers.

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

BoostCon 2009 Schedule Now Live


The official schedule is now live at http://www.boostcon.com/program!  A
few highlights of the "mouth-watering content" (in the words of one
enrollee) are:

* A keynote address from Andrei Alexandrescu called "Iterators Must Go."
  It's sure to be provocative!

* Troy Straszheim's presentations on how high-energy physicists are
  using Boost to process massive datasets as they go "Icefishing for
  Neutrinos" and on Kamasu, his library for offloading computation to
  your machine's GPU.

* Two hands-on sessions where we'll start recoding parts of Boost for
  C++0x, applying rvalue references, variadic templates, decltype, and
  advanced SFINAE capabilities using the latest GCC.

* "Practical C++ Test-Driven Development with Boost.Test and Bmock," by
  Asher Sterkin

* A session on compiler construction using Boost.Spirit v2, from Hartmut
  Kaiser and Joel de Guzman

The complete list of sessions covers a wide range of other Boost and
C++-related topics.  It is available at
http://www.boostcon.com/program/sessions.  Please have a look, and
please, sign up for the conference!  Remember, registration for the
whole week is just $599 before April 1st.
