Board reports are due by Wednesday. If I don't get any feedback by then 
I will submit this:

=== Apache Mahout Status Report: January 2012 ===

Apache Mahout provides implementations of machine learning algorithms
(collaborative filtering, clustering, classification, and more) for
large-scale data, mostly via Hadoop-based implementations.

ISSUES

There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

CURRENT ACTIVITY

Activity has been high during the past 3 months as we have begun
the release process for 0.6. Of 181 issues targeted for this release,
there are only 4 remaining.

Code freeze, originally targeted for Jan 1, is currently being delayed by a
platform-specific build issue and 1 open defect. We expect to release 0.6
in the near future.

A 1.0 release is not yet on the horizon.

COMMUNITY

There are no new committers since last report.

Dmitriy Lyubimov has been elected a member of the Mahout PMC.

MAHOUT DISTRIBUTIONS

Mahout has been included in the Cloudera CDH3u2 release.
(http://www.cloudera.com/blog/2011/11/cdh3u2-apache-mahout-integration/)

As with other commercial distributions we'll keep an eye out to
make sure it's distributed in accordance with Apache trademark
guidelines.

MAHOUT IN PRINT

"Mahout in Action", Owen, Anil, Dunning & Friedman has been published 
and is
being well received.

Looks good.  

Longer term, I personally don't think we need to single out any specific distribution other than to just say:  "Mahout is now included in several commercial distributions.  We are monitoring them for trademark issues"
