Here's a draft of the July Board report. So far I have not been able to coax Ezmlm into giving me the list counts and, since the report is due on the 11th, I will delete this section if I cannot get those numbers by then.
Oh yes,
=== DRAFT Apache Mahout Status Report: July 2012 === Apache Mahout provides implementations of machine learning algorithms (collaborative filtering, clustering, classification, and more) for large-scale data, mostly via Hadoop-based implementations. ISSUES There are no issues requiring board attention at this time. CURRENT ACTIVITY Activity has remained high during the past 3 months. We completed our 0.7 release on June 16th that closed 63 JIRA issues. The [email protected] mailing list has yyyyyyy current subscribers The [email protected] mailing list has zzzzzzz current subscribers Now we are embarked upon a new 0.8 release. A goal of 0.8 is to continue clean up of existing functionality to improve consistency and improve user experience. In this release, some new additions to Mahout functionality are also planned. Code freeze for 0.8 is targeted for Sept 15. A 1.0 release is not yet on the horizon. COMMUNITY We have no new committers since our April report: MAHOUT DISTRIBUTIONS At least two commercially-supported Hadoop distributions now include Mahout in their offerings (Cloudera, MapR). We will keep an eye out to make sure they are distributed in accordance with Apache trademark guidelines. MAHOUT IN PRINT "Mahout in Action", Owen, Anil, Dunning & Friedman is being well received.
