  --------------------
  SAMOA
  
+ SAMOA provides a collection of distributed streaming algorithms for the most common data mining and machine learning tasks such as classification, clustering, and regression, as well as programming abstractions to develop new algorithms that run on top of distributed stream processing engines (DSPEs). It features a pluggable architecture
+ that allows it to run on several DSPEs such as Apache Flink, Apache Storm, Apache Apex and Apache Samza.

  SAMOA has been incubating since 2014-12-15.
  
  Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
  
-   1.
-   2.
-   3.
+   1. Grow the developer base
+   2. Grow the user base
+   3. Add some more ML techniques

+ 
+   - We organized a 2-day internal workshop on SAMOA at Telefonica I+D with researchers of Orange Labs, Telecom Paris and QCRI. Various have been discussed to improve SAMOA's ML and other interfaces with systems like Kafka, etc.
+ 
+   - We submitted a proposal for funding which will help the development of new features on Samoa.
+ 
+   - We have been working on a new release 0.5.0, probably coming up in one month. This release will have support for Kafka, a more well-rounded support for Avro and Json formats, as well as support to store predictions outputted from the model.
+ 
+   - There was also significant work done to integrate correctly the instances between MOA and SAMOA, as there was a deviation of how they were defined and hindered the portability of new methods from MOA to SAMOA.
+   
+   - Early discussions to increase the committers / developers team by inviting new contributors to the panel.
+ 
+ How has the project developed since the last report?
+ 
+   - We are looking into new ML techniques for development.
+ 
+   - Worked on the integration of Samoa-MOA instances
+ 
+   - Engaging interactions with new parties (Orange Labs) and potential collaborations
  
  How would you assess the podling's maturity?
