I recently attended a 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. Similar to GSoC. Being from a mapreduce background, I find BSP interesting and would love to work with you. As per the programme, we should be allotted a mentor. I'm currently reading some papers and working on a plan and a proposed schedule. Can somebody please be kind enough to be my mentor? :) [1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HAMA-743
