Re: [GSOC] Accepted Students
It's also helpful to get yourself a Wiki account and a JIRA account if you don't already have them. Small patches to the existing docs/code can also help you figure out the process On Apr 21, 2009, at 1:19 PM, Isabel Drost wrote: On Tuesday 21 April 2009 08:30:34 David Hall wrote: As for questions, what am I supposed to be reading during this community building period?

In addition you can checkout and have a look at the code. Try to get a rough idea of where your contribution would fit best. Please share your ideas with the community to get feedback early on.

[GSOC] Accepted Students
Hi, =D I've been accepted. And I'll be working on Random Forests =P Given it's my second participation, I have one advise : don't be shy to ask about anything related to your project on this list (starting from now), its the fastest way to learn about Mahout. Who else has been accepted ? - abdelhakim
Re: [GSOC] Accepted Students
Hi David, Welcome into Mahout =) The How To Contribute Wiki page is a must read, it gives you a quick overview about all you'll need to when contributing to Mahout. In my own experience you'll also need to: * know how to build the latest version of Mahout: http://cwiki.apache.org/MAHOUT/buildingmahout.html although, depending on your project you may skip the Taste Web part if you're not working with Taste. * know how to run an example in Hadoop, at least in pseudo-distributed: http://hadoop.apache.org/core/docs/current/quickstart.html --- En date de : Mar 21.4.09, David Hall d...@cs.stanford.edu a écrit : De: David Hall d...@cs.stanford.edu Objet: Re: [GSOC] Accepted Students À: mahout-dev@lucene.apache.org Date: Mardi 21 Avril 2009, 8h30 On Mon, Apr 20, 2009 at 11:18 PM, deneche abdelhakim a_dene...@yahoo.fr wrote: Hi, =D I've been accepted.

[GSOC] Accepted Students announced today
Just wanted to remind everyone that today is the announcement of GSOC accepted students: http://socghop.appspot.com/ Once again, Mahout had a lot of very good applications and it was a tough process deciding. For those who were chosen, congratulations and I am sure I speak for the other mentors when I say welcome and that we look forward to spending the summer working with you. Remember, most, if not all, interactions should happen on this very list (other than personal kind of stuff like I'm out this week for that wedding that I told you about in my proposal). If you have questions about how to implement something, ask them on the list, not in private with your mentor. Part of the reason you were selected is b/c you demonstrated your willingness to discuss on the list, so, just keep it up. For the other mentors, insist upon it from your students. For those who didn't get selected, thank you for the applications. I would encourage you to stick around and still contribute. Mentoring happens all the time on this list, whether you are officially sponsored or not. I know I sound like a broken record, but I can unequivocally attest to the power of open source, both as someone who hires and as someone who has been hired b/c of O/S, as a resume builder and a chance for you to show your future employers you have the skills they are looking for, as well as a means to become an employer yourself. Cheers, Grant
