In need of mentors

[edward yoon <ed...@udanax.org>]

Hello all.

I'm looking for champion/mentors who can leads the Hama incubation
proposal process (http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/HamaProposal).
Also, If i can donate directly to this project as a sub-project, we'll
appreciate.

I would appreciate any advice you could give me.

Thanks,

That would be my advice as well.  Donate your code, keep
working on it and aim to become a Mahout committer.  Unless
you're prepared to spend a lot of time on this, I would advise
against trying to go through the incubator with such a
specialized project.  Your user community would also be
better served because your code could be vetted in Mahout
a lot faster than in the incubator.  So it's just easier
all around ;-)

If it turns out that Hama does not fit well with Mahout,
you can still go forward with the incubator proposal.

I think, if there is an insterest from your side to donate it to Mahout 
and there is a match with Hama, your code would be voted in.

Mahout is already implementing an instance data matrix (MAHOUT-6) but is 
not limited to the physical storage (MAHOUT-7).

If you want, create a JIRA issue explaining the how Hama differs from 
what is beeing discussed in Mahout. It is of course also very 
interesting to know, so please make a note if there are any specific 
algoriths you were hoping to build and relase with ASL using Hama.
