Hi Krishna! Welcome, and thanks for your interest! We would definitely be excited to collaborate with you on a GSOC project. We've started another thread to discuss possible new proposals, and we would also be quite interested in any particular proposal that you might like to generate tailored towards your interests. Copied from the other thread, some possible ideas could include: building out a full ML demo to solve a real, large-scale problem that would benefit from a distributed approach; overall performance improvements that address a full class, or wider area, of ML algorithms, rather than a single, specific script; infrastructure for [performance] testing, and identification of wide areas of improvement; helping with building out fully-featured, clean, well-tested DSLs in Python & Scala (we've started, but it would be good to continue stressing them -- we could even aim to replace DML with the DSLs); etc. Overall, we want to improve the ability of the user to work on a wide range of large-scale, distributed ML problems in a simple and easy manner on top of Spark.
In the meantime, you could explore our recent open issues [1] and even begin discussions or contributions on any of the items. You could also view our recent roadmap discussion thread on the mailing list, starting with the first email [2]: [1]: https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20SYSTEMML%20AND%20resolution%20%3D%20Unresolved%20ORDER%20BY%20updated%20DESC%2C%20priority%20DESC [2]: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-systemml-dev/201701.mbox/%3c9eb780f0-ff28-c702-117c-bad740599...@gmail.com%3E - Mike -- Michael W.
