first week of December for our 0.8.1 release sounds good to me. Apart from bug fixes and performance features, the focus should be mostly on increasing robustness of our spark backend. Since 0.8.0, we already added important features like "partitioned broadcasts" (in order to overcome the 2GB broadcast limitation) and "improved guarded collect" (to overcome OOM situations on RDD collect). There are still some open issues w/ regard to (1) potential OOMs, (2) repeated lazy evaluation of common subexpressions, and (3) data converter utils for external formats. Resolving these known issues would be a nice cut for this minor release.
Regarding the package refactoring, I agree that we should do this right away; I would, however, prefer a short package name such as 'org.apache.dml' or 'org.apache.sysml'.

(com.ibm.bi.dml.* to org.apache.systemml.*) Since the project just moved to its new repo, it would probably be a good time to make this update since this would minimize impact on developers. This affects all Java files in the project. Any thoughts?
