Hi Trevor, I'd like to contribute on Mahout specially working on something inherently docker, I am pretty new but I think I could give you help.
What about this bullet? "I have been toying with some docker based integration tests if you happen to be familiar with Dockers and using them for maven IT (or want to learn)" Where can I get more info? Jira doesn't contain the "docker" keyword.
