<p>Boost has participated in the Google Summer of Code program
for a decade and is very grateful for Google's generous past
support. This program allows college students to have a paid
summer internship working on open source projects, giving them
an interesting alternative to summer onsite internships.
Because the students that work on Boost libraries tend to stay
with the same libraries summer after summer, the continuity of
this program is important to Boost and to the students that
work on Boost projects.</p>
<p>Boost has traditionally been a model GSoC participant
receiving a more than average slot allocation, so we were
caught by surprise when Google rejected our 2016 application.
They asked us to apply again next year but to sit out 2016 to give open-source projects which don't normally get awarded
an opportunity. We understand this rationale, but this policy
would mean no summer internships for Boost and leave students
that have been working on Boost libraries looking for other
alternatives for the summer of 2016.</p>
<p>When <a href="http://www.imc.com/">IMC Financial Markets</a>
learned about this situation, they saw it as an opportunity to
support the Boost community and demonstrate their commitment to
student development and open source.</p>
<p>IMC worked with Boost to create its own "Boost Summer of
Code" program, deliberately patterned after Google's program.
IMC also stepped up to underwrite all the costs of this program
for the summer of 2016.</p>
<p>We thank IMC for their support and community leadership.</p>
