Welcome Andrew Musselman as new comitter

Hi,

this is to announce that the Project Management Committee (PMC) for 
Apache Mahout has asked Andrew Musselman to become committer and we are 
pleased to announce that he has accepted.

Being a committer enables easier contribution to the project since in 
addition to posting patches on JIRA it also gives write access to the 
code repository. That also means that now we have yet another person who 
can commit patches submitted by others to our repo *wink*

Andrew, we look forward to working with you in the future. Welcome! It 
would be great if you could introduce yourself with a few words :)

Sebastian

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.

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.

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.

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 Š.  (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 Š.)

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!

Best
Andrew

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!
