Hi Hardik,

at the moment, we are heavily working on polishing our documentation. A 
very welcome contribution would be a nice to read writeup how to use an 
algorithm mahout to solve an exemplary problem.


E.g. taking a movie ratings dataset and showing how to compute 
recommendations on it.

Let me direct you to the wider dev list.

A fine place to start it the list of issues that ought to be fixed for the
next release:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT/fixforversion/12316364

Work on any of these would be welcome.

 Hi Sean,

 Let me start off by introducing myself. I have a MS and BS in Computer
 Science and have been working as a statistical programmer for the past 5
 years. My passion lies in studying and analyzing Machine Learning and Data
 Mining algorithms. I am currently taking the Data Mining Certificate at
 Stanford. I recently completed the Cloudera Hadoop training for developers.

 I would like to learn and contribute towards the mahout project developing
 scalable Machine Learning algorithm using Java. Could you please give me
 some suggestions on a project that I could start ?

 Thanks,

Some general notes on contributing to Mahout:

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAHOUT/How+To+Contribute

The most common way to get involved is by using Mahout for some project
you may have and fixing any issues that get in your way, extending the
framework where ever it does not yet fit your needs.

You should start with those areas that you find most interesting.

There have been a few more detailed hints in one of the past e-mail

Contributing to Mahout

2011-01-15 Thread Philippe Lamarche
Hi,

During the summer of 2008, I used Mahout for a school project on text
classification. I really enjoyed experience. I graduated at the
beginning of 2009 and I wasn't able to contribute to Mahout while
starting my new job. However, I now feel that I have more time and I
would like to contribute. My main reason for contributing would be to
participate in a software effort outside my regular day job. I would
like to see and work with code, designs and methodology of another
group, I feel that it would help me become a better developer.

What should I do first?

I was not bad at theoretical ML a few years back (while in school),
however, I am afraid that most of it is gone. I am sure that I will be
able to learn it back, but I would like to start with something that
is not to math oriented.

I guess adding test coverage would be a start.

Any idea?

Thanks,
Philippe.

Hi,
Mahout is an exciting project and I would want to contribute to it.
However, I am not sure where to start. Yes, I did go through the
contributing FAQ and am still confused. The issue tracking list sometimes
seem overwhelming.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

2010-11-02 Thread Ted Dunning
That is great!

The start of contributing is definitely the hardest part.  That is what the
community should be
able to help with.

One thing to try is to just start a discussion here on the mailing list
about what you are
interested in trying to do.  From there, we can provide hints about next
steps which should
look familiar given that you have read the FAQ.  At that point, it should be
all downhill.  (in a
good way).
