2009-04-23 Thread Ted Dunning
Isabel,

Would you like your modeling nature talk to be the Mahout Intro talk that
is currently in the fer-sure category without an assigned speaker?

Sure, why not :) I wanted to include some slides on what machine is all about 
in general, explain how this relates to Mahout and finish with some slides 
why people should get involved with the project. Probably similar to what I 
did at the Lucene Meetup in Amsterdam.

It's also helpful to get yourself a Wiki account and a JIRA account if  
you don't already have them.  Small patches to the existing docs/code  
can also help you figure out the process

plus skimming javadocs.


These are certainly of interest.

In addition you can checkout and have a look at the code. Try to get  
a rough
idea of where your contribution would fit best. Please share your  
ideas with

the community to get feedback early on.
