<h2>Welcome to Boost.org!</h2>
<p>Boost provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source
libraries.</p>
<p>We emphasize libraries that work well with the C++
Standard Library. Boost libraries are intended to be widely
useful, and usable across a broad spectrum of applications.
The <a href="/users/license.html">Boost license</a>
encourages both commercial and non-commercial use.</p>
<p>We aim to establish "existing practice" and provide
reference implementations so that Boost libraries are
suitable for eventual standardization. Ten Boost libraries
are included in the <a href=
"http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/" class=
"external">C++ Standards Committee's</a> Library Technical
Report (<a href=
"http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2005/n1745.pdf"
class="external">TR1</a>) and in the new C++11 Standard.
C++11 also includes several more Boost libraries in
addition to those from TR1. More Boost libraries are
proposed for standardization in C++17.</p>
<p>Since 2006 an intimate week long annual conference
related to Boost called <a href="http://cppnow.org/" class=
"external">C++ Now</a> has been held in Aspen, Colorado
each May. Boost has been a participant in the <a href=
"https://developers.google.com/open-source/soc/?csw=1"
class="external">annual Google Summer of Code</a> since
2007.</p>
<h3 class="note">Getting Started</h3>
<p class="note"><span class="note-body">Boost works on
almost any modern operating system, including UNIX and
Windows variants. Follow the <a href=
"/doc/libs/release/more/getting_started/index.html">Getting
Started Guide</a> to download and install Boost. Popular
Linux and Unix distributions such as <a href=
"http://fedoraproject.org/" class="external">Fedora</a>,
<a href="http://www.debian.org/" class=
"external">Debian</a>, and <a href="http://www.netbsd.org/"
class="external">NetBSD</a> include pre-built Boost
packages. Boost may also already be available on your
organization's internal web server.</span></p>
<h3 class="note">Background</h3>
<p class="note"><span class="note-body">Read on with the
<a href="/users/">introductory material</a> to help you
understand what Boost is about and to help in educating
your organization about Boost.</span></p>
<h3 class="note">Community</h3>
<p class="note"><span class="note-body">Boost welcomes and
thrives on participation from a variety of individuals and
organizations. Many avenues for participation are available
in the <a href="/community/">Boost
Community</a>.</span></p>
