Re name changes- definitely not in love with the idea.
In my experience there are two main segments of data scientists when
opening a conversation about Apache Mahout:
1) "We don't use map reduce"
2) "I've never heard of it"
2a) "I don't understand math, I just blindly fire 'machine learning'
The issue could be competition better grounded in Spark like ND4J and the
increased popularity of Python. Name changes are really difficult. If you
think that you have improved over your recent iteration and moved to a
more competitive platform, then it would be a good idea. Otherwise, try to
One more thing: what was really helpful in spreading the word in the early days
was collecting real user stories: who achieved what with Mahout. Could be
helpful for the new multi backend version as well. Imagine quotes like "we've
successfully used Mahout on $insertBackendHere to solve
That is an awesome second interpretation.
Having voted on the original name I'm 100% biased so take my opinion with a
huge grain of salt: on the one hand I think name changes are over rated (anyone
remember ethereal?), on the other hand IMHO Mahout is a fairly strong brand
representing machine

I have been told that there is a cool secondary interpretation of Mahout as
well.
I think that the Hebrew word is pronounced roughly like Mahout.

I don't think the backends we have now off the shelf are particularly
exciting, but the fact you CAN plug different ones back in is the value
prop (and a big one that we need to 'sell' more). The difference is subtle
but since this is the marketing thread also worth bringing up. Basically to

Hey user and dev,
With 0.13.0 the Apache Mahout project has added some significant updates.
The website is starting to feel 'dated' I think it could use a reboot.
