Hey, I recently attended a 3-day bootcamp for a* Joint Mentoring Programme *by* *Luciano Resende (Community Development, Apache) - [* http://community.apache.org/mentoringprogramme-icfoss-pilot.html*] .It is geared towards helping students get involved in open source projects. It's similar to GSoC.
I read about BSP from some presentations and saw your project. Being from a MapReduce background, I find it interesting and fresh. I would love to work with you. I found HAMA-743 interesting. I'm reading as much as I can to make a proposal to this Jira. I would be needing a mentor though. That's how the programme works. First thing I'd like to clarify is if this Jira still open for contribution? Sincerely, Sreejith R [1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HAMA-743
