[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!

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.

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.
Cheers,
Zhendong

One thing I'd encourage everyone to start on sooner rather than later is a placeholder doc on the https://cwiki.apache.org/MAHOUT/algorithms.html page that captures some of your background material as well as some links to your JIRA issues.
Also, while it's not required, you might consider filing an iCLA: http://www.apache.org/licenses/icla.txt Again, not a requirement of GSOC or anything like that.

Congrats everyone.And a special thanks to Benson for helping us get the
slots to 5 this year :)
For students that do not get accepted into Google Summer of Code and still
ready to work on your proposal. ASF has a formalized process by which you
can work on it if you get a willing mentor from the community. It will be a
great learning experience and you will get a certification on successful
completion from Apache. Do take a look. Also its open for everyone not just
for students.

@FamousFive(The selected students :P) Would you guys be interested in
keeping track of your experiences via a shared blog. I am thinking of
setting up one for Mahout along with the website change.
Robin
Congrats again.

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!
