July Board Report Draft
Here's a draft of the July Board report. So far I have not been able to
coax Ezmlm into giving me the list counts and, since the report is due
on the 11th, I will delete this section if I cannot get those numbers by
then.

This sounds like more of a systemic problem than just with my ISP. The
report is due Wed., so I will hold off a bit more to see if we can get
this number. I have put in a request to infra for this number too.

Thanks Sean, I will delete them.
Could one of the other moderators please get me the list size numbers
dev-list@ and user-list@? I'm not able to get anything back from the
server and infra has checked it out so it must be some spam filter my
ISP is running but the replies show up nowhere.
I will submit on Monday.

I think you're welcome to exclude the last two sections as they have
been in the last 2 reports more or less verbatim. It's OK if these are

Oh yes,
=== DRAFT Apache Mahout Status Report: July 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 remained high during the past 3 months. We completed our
0.7 release on June 16th that closed 63 JIRA issues.
The user@mahout.a.o mailing list has yyyyyyy current subscribers
The dev@mahout.a.o mailing list has zzzzzzz current subscribers
Now we are embarked upon a new 0.8 release. A goal of 0.8
is to continue clean up of existing functionality to improve
consistency and improve user experience. In this release, some
new additions to Mahout functionality are also planned.
Code freeze for 0.8 is targeted for Sept 15.
A 1.0 release is not yet on the horizon.
COMMUNITY
We have no new committers since our April report:
MAHOUT DISTRIBUTIONS
At least two commercially-supported Hadoop distributions now include
Mahout in their offerings (Cloudera, MapR). We will keep an eye out to
make sure they are distributed in accordance with Apache trademark
guidelines.
MAHOUT IN PRINT
"Mahout in Action", Owen, Anil, Dunning & Friedman is being well
received.

I think several steps require a committer to actually commit files,
yes. If you just need someone to push the button to commit changes,
I'm sure I can take a tarball and make it happen.

It's this...
https://cwiki.apache.org/DIRxDEV/exporting-a-confluence-space-as-a-website.html
.... but I dont know more than that and don't have Confluence admin
rights. Does anyone know more about this, maybe those that set up the
wiki? If nobody does we can turn to the dev folks who are working on
the CMS to ask.
It should exist in the system, surely.

Guys,
I am migrating MAHOUT from confluence wiki to the new CMS. I see a tool
that can facilitate this, available at :
https://svn.apache.org/repos/infra/websites/cms/conversion-utilities/cwiki.
But this would require a auto exporter file for MAHOUT. People in the
MAHOUT mailing list are not completely aware of how to locate this file.
Can someone let me know where I would find this file ?
regards
Rahul

I see there is a conversion tool to do available at
https://svn.apache.org/repos/infra/websites/cms/conversion-utilities/cwiki/.
But that would require an auto export template for Mahout. Where can I
get this one ?

As I understand it, the task is to get everything in Confluence into
the new CMS system.
That's the stuff here...
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAHOUT/
to the stuff described here...
http://www.apache.org/dev/cmsref
I think it's mostly mechanical (?) as they use the same markdown (?).
Sounds like a question of making the skeleton template site and then
finding a way to suck in the wiki pages as easily as possible, and get
some semblance of the same thing to build in this CMS system.

So what are the issues with the existing structure/system for which a
new structure is required ?
Is there a JIRA issue for the same where I could see the problem at hand ?

No. It is just a committer who can commit changes. Anybody can make
changes for review.
I for a lot of content like this, it might be good to build a prototype of
the new structure on github where others can review the whole thing at
once. I am not sure if there is a cms sandbox or not, but it would
definitely be helpful if there is.

PS there has been some agitation about switching to the new CMS
system, from Confluence, I think. I am still not really clear on what
has to move and how. This is probably the next big administrative
to-do, to get all existing wiki pages moved. That should figure in. I
also think this would be a great opportunity for anyone who hasn't
contributed much lately, and maybe is less comfortable with code, to
make a contribution -- figure out this migration and do it.
