Sad to hear that Crypto++ won't be able to make for GSoC. I wish I could get some compensation for my work.
I'm interested. This is my first time doing work for any open source system. I have good understanding of cryptography and I am doing dissertation under it. I am also pretty good with C++ code. Right now, I'm exploring the code base to get fluent with source code. regards On Tuesday, February 2, 2016 at 5:45:23 AM UTC+5:30, Jeffrey Walton wrote: > > Hi Prakhar, > > Is there any developer's mailing list or irc channel of crypto++. >> I am keen in doing work in GSoC 2016 in the organisation. >> > > We wanted to participate in GSoC, but it does not look like we will be > able to. > > I don't believe we will be able to meet program requirements, like Mentors > and Administrators.
