<h1>Boost Background Information</h1>
<h2>Why should an organization use Boost?</h2>
<p>
In a word, <i><b>Productivity</b></i>. Use of high-quality libraries like
Boost speeds initial development, results in fewer bugs,
reduces reinvention-of-the-wheel, and cuts long-term maintenance costs. And
since Boost libraries tend to become de facto or de jure standards, many
programmers are already familiar with them.</p>
<p>
Ten of the Boost libraries are included in the
<a href="http://open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/library_technical_report.html">
C++ Standard Library's TR1</a>, and so are slated for later full
standardization. More Boost libraries are in the pipeline for
<a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2005/n1810.html">TR2</a>.
Using Boost libraries gives an organization a head-start in adopting new
technologies.</p>
<p>
Many organization already use programs implemented with
Boost, like Adobe <a href="http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readermain.html">Acrobat
Reader 7.0</a>.</p>
<h2>Who else is using Boost?</h2>
<p>See the <a href="../doc/html/who_s_using_boost_.html">
Who's Using Boost page</a> for a sampling. We don't know the exact numbers, but
a release gets around 100,000 downloads from SourceForge, and that is only one
of several distribution routes.</p>

<p>The Boost libraries tend to be new, fresh, and creative designs. They are not

publicly documented via the mailing lists and version control repository. The
source code has been inspected by many, many knowledgeable programmers. Each
Boost file has a copyright notice and license information. IP issues have been
reviewed by the legal teams from some of the corporations which use Boost, and
in some cases these lawyers have been kind enough to give Boost feedback on IP
issues. There are no guarantees, but those factors all tend to reduce IP risk.</p>

<p>Individuals contribute for the technical challenge, to hone their technical
skills, for the sense of community, as part of their graduate school programs,
as a way around geographic isolation, to enhance their employment opportunities,
and as advertisements for their consulting services. There are probably as many
reasons as there are individuals. Some of the apparently individual
contributions come from employees of support companies with contracts from
businesses or other organizations who have an interest in seeing that a library
is well-maintained.</p>
<h2>Who pays Boost's expenses?</h2>
<p>Boost doesn't really have any expenses! All the infrastructure is contributed
by supporters, such as the <a href="http://www.osl.iu.edu/">Open Systems Lab</a>
at Indiana University,&nbsp; <a href="http://sourceforge.net/index.php">
SourceForge</a>, <a href="http://www.boost-consulting.com/">Boost Consulting</a>,
<a href="http://www.meta-comm.com/">MetaCommunications</a>, and the
individuals, companies, and other organizations who run the regression tests.
Borland, HP, Intel, and Microsoft have contributed compilers. And hundreds, or
even thousands, of programmers contribute their time. That's what makes Boost
possible.</p>
