What I would do is ask on Hadoop if there is interest in making it a
subproject. In doing so, keep in mind that it still requires their
committers to be willing to take it on (although it should help
greatly that you are saying you have 3 or 4 people already who are
willing to maintain it.) You might also benefit at looking at an
incubation proposal. Since some of the code already exists, you _may_
need to do a more full fledged software grant and/or go through
incubation.

Hello, Isabel Drost.
I`m Min Cha, a fellow worker of edward. Glad to meet you.
I think Hama should aim to general purpose rathen than it becomes a
piece
in Mahout.
So, I would rather like to be a Hadoop sub project.

p.s
However, if Hahout members want, we could provide Hama dependency
library
and do to apply feedbacks or additonal requirements from Hahout.
I think it`s a good model for collaborating together and improving
Hama and
Hahout.

If you really prefer your own project over integrating your code
with the
Mahout codebase, I would also suggest to go for a Hadoop sub
project. Just
as
Grant already pointed out, the use cases of your matrix package are
much
more
general than just machine learning.
After much discuss with hadoop PMC and mahout-dev, I looked over the
matter.
What was your conclusion? Where do you and the other hama
developers see
your
package? Would you rather like to be general enough to be a hadoop
sub
project, or would you rather like to put special focus on the
requirements
of
the machine learning community on your package?
