The Apache Mahout PMC is pleased to announce that we have asked Nikolay Sakharnykh to become a committer and he has accepted. His contribution of an initial set of CUDA bindings into the project are good progress toward our goal of simplifying matrix math at scale.
Being a committer allows you to contribute more easily to the project, since in addition to posting pull requests and patches you're also granted write access to the code repository; which in turn means you can review and accept community contributions, and help others pitch in. Nikolay, we're looking forward to working with you in the future; welcome! It is customary for new committers to introduce themselves with a few words :) Best Andrew
