+1 for shared blog!
Re: [GSOC] Congrats to all students
Thanks everyone! I am so exciting to be accepted and I will do my best to finish my proposal in time. A shared blog sounds great to me. The GSoC looks like a training, we suppose to share the experience with all who interested in Mahout project.

Re: [GSOC] Congrats to all students
Thanks guys! So happy to get it, and really excited that Mahout got 5 slots. @Robin: I'm totally up for a shared blog, was planning on blogging about it anyway.

Re: [GSOC] Congrats to all students
Thanks everyone! This is a fantastic opportunity, and I'll try to make the best of this for myself, as well as Mahout. Hopefully, we'll have a great compilation of deep learning networks within the next few releases. BTW, congrats to everyone on Mahout becoming a TLP!

[GSOC] Congrats to all students
Looks like student GSOC announcements are up (http://socghop.appspot.com/gsoc/program/list_projects/google/gsoc2010). Mahout got quite a few projects (5) accepted this year, which is a true credit to the ASF, Mahout, the mentors, and most of all the students! We had a good number of very high quality student proposals for Mahout this year and it was very difficult to choose. Of the ones selected, I think they all bode well for the future of Mahout and the students. For those who didn't make the cut, I know it's small consolation, but I would encourage you all to stay involved in open source, if not Mahout specifically. We'd certainly love to see you contributing here as many of you had very good ideas. At any rate, for everyone, keep an eye out on the Mahout project, as you should be seeing lots of exciting features coming to Mahout soon in the form of scalable Neural Networks, Restricted Boltzmann Machines (recommenders), SVD-based recommenders, EigenCuts Spectral Clustering and Support Vector Machines (SVM)! Should be an exciting summer! -Grant
