Re: [Fwd: Re: [DISCUSS] [PROPOSAL] Singa for Apache Incubator]

[Thejas Nair <th...@gmail.com>]

I have added Ted as a mentor, so we now have some diversity in mentor
affiliations. (Thanks Ted!)
I also reached out to few other people in mahout community who I
thought might be potentially interested, but I didn't hear from them.

I am planning to put this to a vote in 2 days. Meanwhile, please let
me know if anybody else would be willing to join as a mentor.

Thanks,
Thejas
