Re: Welcome Andrew Musselman as new comitter
Hi Pavan, Committership is given for engagement with the project like providing documentation, answering questions on the mailinglist, reviewing patches, testing patches and submitting patches. We currently have a discussion ongoing about the future of mahout, feel free to participate. --sebastian On 03/07/2014 06:41 PM, Pavan Kumar N wrote: Congratulations to Andrew. Would be nice to have some information/background on how PMC evaluated Andrew to become committer. Also would be nice what future aspects/algorithms of machine learning is mahout is going to focus on. I have been keen to maintain code for one of the projects and mistakenly I spent time on developing map reduce version of weighted linear regression solutions procedure. Only recently I saw mahout's webpages are updated. Would appreciate any advice from Andrew and other PMC members.

Re: Welcome Andrew Musselman as new comitter
Thank you for the welcome! Looking forward to it. I have a math background and got started with recommenders by building the first album recommender for Rhapsody ( http://rhapsody.com ) while I was doing web development and web services work for the service. Since then I learned to love/hate Pig and Hadoop for a living, and now I do data engineering and analytics at Accenture. We've used Mahout on a few production projects, and we're looking forward to more. See you on the lists!

Re: Welcome Andrew Musselman as new comitter
I personally am looking forward to the ³advice from the newest ³recommended² committer to hadoop. Congratulations to Mahout team for increasing and growing :) Now back to my using . (and hopefully creating something meaningful for you guys) Scott PS: am bootstrapping my Machine Learning knowledge by taking the coursera course offered by Andrew NG - correct my shaky knowledge of classifiers. Anyone else on this list taking or have taken this course? (obviously - committers are probably not, but .)

Congrats Andrew, I've taken the coursera course, it was interesting but was hoping it could cover some more in the area of deep learning.
