Hi Tanton,
We have canopy and kmeans in trunk that you are welcome to use
(https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/mahout/trunk). Please post any
usability questions you may have or suggestions for improvements to the
Mahout user list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). There is some
documentation on the wiki
(http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAHOUT/Canopy+Clustering)
and you can inspect the unit tests for more information. I'm in the
process of building some examples and those will get committed to trunk
in a week or so.
Smooth sailing,
Jeff

I checked out the Wiki. I am in need of a canopy clustering algorithm
for hadoop. I'm about to embark on writing one, but if you have one
already, that would be better. It doesn't have to be perfect, I can
improve on it as I go. However, I couldn't find the svn repository
for Mahout...any pointers to where I can find the code?
Thanks!
Tanton

I uploaded the slides from my Mahout overview to our wiki
(http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAHOUT/FAQ) along with another
recent talk by Isabel Drost. Both are similar in content but their
differences reflect the rapid evolution of the project in the month that
separates them in time. After I got home I worried a bit that I had skipped
over too much of the material in an effort to keep it brief.
Thanks to Yahoo! for hosting the meeting and providing beer and pizza for
the 50 or so friends of Hadoop who attended. I thought the meeting was fun
and informative and a great way to begin to associate faces and richer
personalities with the names that fly through my in box. For those of you
who were not able to attend, the meeting was quite informal and we got
brief, mostly extemporaneous, updates of some of the projects that were on
the agenda at the recent Hadoop Summit: Hadoop 0.17, HBase, Pig, Zookeeper,
Mahout, ...
In the wrapup, people seemed to like this agenda and I think Ajay plans to
continue with the same general format in subsequent monthly meetings. Due to
the informality, I did not take notes. Perhaps the other presenters can post
summaries of their updates for the wider community's appreciation.
