Hi Alina, good to hear about your interest on commons-math. New contributions are very welcome, and we have indeed several feature requests to add new clustering algorithms. I am certainly interested in mentoring you for GSOC, but there are maybe also others that can help with that here. Just let us know what you want to do early on so that we can prepare ourselves.
