Sounds reasonable. Make sure you include information on timelines,
bio, etc. There are many emails in the archive discussing various
aspects of GSOC.
Good luck,

Hello everybody,
I know it's a little bit late, but I'm really excited to submit a
google
summer of code proposal for the Mahout project. I've read there is
already a
k-means implementation, so I've decided to implement another
algorithm. I've
chosen to implement one clustring and one classification algorithm,
a priori
the EM and SVM algorithms.
I've graduated college last december and I worked on multi-core
parallel
programing tools and implemented a parallel version of the k-means
algorithm. I've just started my mastering course at the State
University of
Campinas (São Paulo, Brazil), mainly focused on content-based image
retrieval and relevance feedback. So I'm really interested on
clustering and
classification algorithms since it's intensively used in image
retrieval and
an important optimization problem.
Well, I have some java development skills but I've no experience
with the
Hadoop platform.
What do you think about it?
I do appreciate any comment and help.
best,
