+=== Apache Mahout Status Report: July 2014 ===
+
+-----
+
+Apache Mahout has implementations of a wide range of machine learning and
+data mining algorithms: clustering, classification, collaborative filtering
+and frequent pattern mining
+
+Project Status
+--------------
+
+The project continues to have a large and active user base.  While
+the developer base has continued to grow, there is a very active
+and healthy debate going on about where Mahout goes next.  We have
+worked through many of these issues, but are not out of the proverbial
+woods just yet.
+
+
+
+Community
+---------
+
+* Andrew Palumbo and Pat Ferrel are new committers
+* Dmitriy Lyubimov has resigned from the PMC
+
+* The main issue concerning the community right now is the addition
+of new contributions from 0xData and the integration of Mahout with Scala/Spark.
+
+
+
+Community Objectives
+--------------------
+
+Our goal is to build scalable machine learning libraries. See the Issues
+section below for the debate in the community about our objectives.
+
+
+Releases
+--------
+
+In addition to an ongoing debate on Mahout's future, the community is actively
+ working on integrating Mahout with Scala/Spark,  and bringing in new code and
+ committers to update the core project.
+
+
+Issues
+------
+For the most part, the community has gotten back to work by adding a couple of new
+committers and pursuing the path of Scala support.  While there is still not
+a huge developer base, people are contributing and working through the issues
+as best as possible.
