Re: Apache Roadshow India in 2020?

[ARIJIT DAS]

November December January in Kolkata will be the best option. Kolkata is
the cultural capital of India and rich heritage with scientific and
technological best organisations. Gurgaon or Gurugram is gram i.e. village
it will take another 10 years to become metro...for roadshows you will
never get madding crowd of Kolkata at anywhere else.

Re: Profile photos and ASF values

 Please note Swastika is an ancient symbol of Hindus in India...Hitler used
it no way implies that the symbol is improper...If you go through our Vedas
and other mythologies you will find it symbolizes the knowledge and
power...and still today danish air force also uses this symbol.India has
one of the richest culture and heritage in the world.Many people has used
manything of our culture and heritage in many ways for many purpose some
are good some are bad.Why will we give up something which symbolizes
actually good in our culture? World leaders should learn the lesson from
WW2 from Hiroshima Nagasaki from adverse effects of colonization from
exploitation of poor.Mere opposing a symbol will add any value to mankind?

Re: Hello

[ARIJIT DAS]

@Ted : Please note Swastika is an ancient symbol of Hindus in
India...Hitler used it no way implies that the symbol is improper...If you
go through our Vedas and other mythologies you will find it symbolizes the
knowledge and power...and still today danish air force also uses this
symbol.India has one of the richest culture and heritage in the world.Many
people has used manything of our culture and heritage in many ways for many
purpose some are good some are bad.Why will we give up something which
symbolizes actually good in our culture? World leaders should learn the
lesson from WW2 from Hiroshima Nagasaki from adverse effects of
colonization from exploitation of poor.Mere opposing a symbol will add any
value to mankind?

Re: Hello

[ARIJIT DAS]

Andy,
We have done tf-idf (term frequency,inverse document frequency )
calculation from a big corpus using map reduce.We were finding if there is
any ready library available for calculation of eigen value,eigen vector and
ofcourse principal component analysis.
It would be great to call the function instead of writing.
 I am interested to take part in the development procedure of
mahout...The advantage we have is the great thirst to learn new thing the
disadvantage is we don't have that much infrastructure...everyone has his
own laptop only.

With Regards
Arijit

 I'm interested in finding out how we could encourage more women to
 participate on Apache projects. It's a discussion topic that came up
 last
 week while I was at Apachecon. My understanding is that we don't have
 any
 current strategies in place so I think it could be good to look at
 gathering some ideas about how to tackle the problem and also hear about
 any lessons learned from any previous or similar strategies.

 What do people think?

 Thanks
 Sharan
