Welcome aboard!
We had a lot of very nice proposals, including a couple that were,
unfortunately just below the cutoff. We (the ASF) had originally
hoped to get more slots from Google, but they had an even bigger
response from other projects as well. As it were, Mahout alone had
something like 15 applicants, most of which were high quality and well-
thought out. For those who didn't get selected, please do feel
welcome here with the rest of us "volunteers" :-).
To those accepted, do try to keep in mind that we should keep project
discussions on the list. I think it is fine to ask mentors questions
in private related to administrative stuff, but if you have questions
about how to code something, etc. those are best handled on this list,
as it creates a history and allows others to understand design
decisions, etc.
Cheers,
Grant

excited
to kick start the work. I know I have a lot to understand in terms
of coding
practices, the whole workflow/process. And i would like to
congratulate and
say hi to my fellow Gsoc'ers Farid, Yun and Abdel, Hi to my mentor
