Hi Spark devs! I'm writing regarding your GSoC 2015 project idea. I'm a graduate student with experience in Python and discrete mathematics. I'm interested in machine learning, and understand some of its basic concepts.
I was wondering if someone might be able to elaborate upon the goals for Spark with GSoC (it is my understanding that Manoj Kumar is the mentor), though I may be incorrect. I have been reading the Spark codebase on GitHub and think I may be able to help develop Spark's Python API. To get involved, what next steps should I take? Thanks! David J.
