Apache Mahout is for Mathematicians (or statisticians, or data scientists, etc.). We understand not all users are up to cloning and building from source, working with command line interfaces, and other such engineering tasks.

In that thread, we've created The Apache Zeppelin Quickstart Docker Container.

We hope this will make it easier for users to dip their toes in the Mahout waters. Let us know what you think on

• user at mahout dot apache dot org
• dev at mahout dot apache dot org

As always, we're looking for users to get involved, and encourage any patches to be submitted to: https://github.com/apache/mahout

Thanks, and good Mahout-ing!

~ The Apache Mahout Team

Recap Since Last Time​

• Website build working again
• josehernandezsc added Ridge Regression to algorithms/ framework.
• Trevor shared incore PyMahout git repo on mailing list- needs to POC for distributed.

Projects going forward​

• Still need to do 5 related issues identified November 13th
• Trevor to POC distribute Mahout in Python
