Highly interested in contributing to spark
Hello, I am Manoj (https://github.com/MechCoder), an undergraduate student highly interested in Machine Learning. I have contributed to SymPy and scikit-learn as part of Google Summer of Code projects and my bachelor's thesis. I have a few quick (non-technical) questions before I dive into the issue tracker. Are the ones marked trivial easy to fix ones, that I could try before attempting slightly more ambitious ones? Also I would like to know if Apache Spark takes part in Google Summer of Code projects under the Apache Software Foundation. It would be really great if it does! Looking forward! -- Godspeed, Manoj Kumar, Mech Undergrad http://manojbits.wordpress.com
Re: Highly interested in contributing to spark
Hi Manoj, Thanks for the email. Yes - you should start with the starter task before attempting larger ones. Last year I signed up as a mentor for GSoC, but no student signed up. I don't think I'd have time to be a mentor this year, but others might.

Re: Highly interested in contributing to spark
I'm sure Spark will sign up for GSoC again this year - and id be surprised if there was not some interest now for projects :) If I have the time at that point in the year I'd be happy to mentor a project in MLlib but will have to see how my schedule is at that point! Manoj perhaps some of the locality sensitive hashing stuff you did for scikit-learn could find its way to Spark or spark-projects. — Sent from Mailbox On Fri, Jan 2, 2015 at 6:28 AM, Reynold Xin wrote: > Hi Manoj, > Thanks for the email. > Yes - you should start with the starter task before attempting larger ones. > Last year I signed up as a mentor for GSoC, but no student signed up.

Oh actually I was confused with another project, yours was not LSH sorry! — Sent from Mailbox On Fri, Jan 2, 2015 at 8:19 AM, Nick Pentreath wrote: > I'm sure Spark will sign up for GSoC again this year - and id be surprised if > there was not some interest now for projects :) > If I have the time at that point in the year I'd be happy to mentor a project > in MLlib but will have to see how my schedule is at that point! > Manoj perhaps some of the locality sensitive hashing stuff you did for > scikit-learn could find its way to Spark or spark-projects. > — > Sent from Mailbox > On Fri, Jan 2, 2015 at 6:28 AM, Reynold Xin wrote: >> Hi Manoj, >> Thanks for the email. >> Yes - you should start with the starter task before attempting larger ones. >> Last year I signed up as a mentor for GSoC, but no student signed up.
