Regarding GSOC, my school has always had *lots* of students accepted (we were second in 2012 and over the past 5 years [1]). I'm involved in an open-source organization at school and we can get in touch with lots of students.
If you guys decide to participate in GSOC this year, I'd be happy to spread the word and maybe even have a presentation about Mahout at school. Also, since I'm squarely on the student side (doing my senior project with Ted on Mahout) I think I have a good grasp of what the problems are, especially for a beginner student. And, if you do pick someone, I could help them part-time (especially if they're from my school, you know, timezone and language help) . Of course, I wouldn't really want to be the main mentor since I'm still really new and not a committer yet. :) [1] http://google-opensource.blogspot.ro/2012/05/google-summer-of-code-2012-stats-part-2.html On Tue, Mar 26, 2013 at 12:27 PM, Grant Ingersoll <gsing...@apache.org> wrote: > > On Mar 25, 2013, at 11:13 PM, Mike Percy wrote: > >> Something that the Mahout PMC might want to do is share the (rough) >> criteria for becoming a Mahout committer. > > > > https://cwiki.apache.org/MAHOUT/how-to-contribute.html > > https://cwiki.apache.org/MAHOUT/how-to-become-a-committer.html > > > -------------------------------------------- > Grant Ingersoll | @gsingers > http://www.lucidworks.com > > > > >
