Hello Aditya,
Welcome to Mahout! Here is some information on GSoC requirements [1]. While Mahout has participated in the GSoC before, please note that you must find a committer on the Mahout project who will have the bandwidth to be a good mentor to you. My suggestion would be to start with this step. Hope this helps, Andy [1] https://community.apache.org/gsoc.html Apache Community Development - GSoC<https://community.apache.org/gsoc.html> community.apache.org Google is sponsoring the 2016 Summer of Code and The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) has been accepted as a mentoring organization. This page is your entry point to ... ________________________________ From: Aditya <adityasarma...@gmail.com> Sent: Tuesday, March 7, 2017 10:06:54 AM To: Andrew Musselman Cc: dev@mahout.apache.org Subject: Re: Contributing to Apache Mahout via Google Summer of Code 2017 Hello Andrew, With respect to the application process for Google Summer of Code, once you guys are sure that I'll be able to contribute to the community on something meaningful during summer. I'll be drafting a proposal (with guidance from someone from Mahout) detailing the timeline and the plan of action. I guess the mentor will be decided based on what my contribution is going to be. I'm sorry for the delay in replying. It has been a crazy week for me in terms of my thesis. I'll take some time and look through the framework and try to get some hands on experience by contributing to a bug fix / an existing issue in Jira. I had a question though, do I submit the application proposal to someone from Mahout? or is there a centralized process for ASF as a whole. PS: With respect to help from your side, it would be a mentor willing to mentor me through the summer as I work. I will talk to Saikat and see of what use I can be in the Generalized Linear Model that has been proposed.
