Communication at Mahout happens primarily online via mailing lists. We have a user as well as a dev list for discussion. In addition, there is a commit list so we are able to monitor what happens in the GitHub repository.
Follow the links below, or send mail manually, with empty subject and body.
The pattern for subscribing and unsubscribing to mailing lists at the ASF is <list-name>-<action>@<project.>apache.org.
This list is for users of Mahout to ask questions, share knowledge, and discuss issues. Do send mail to this list with usage and configuration questions and problems. Also, please send questions to this list to verify your problem before filing issues on GitHub.
This is the list where participating developers of the Mahout project meet and discuss issues concerning Mahout internals, code changes/additions, etc. Do not send mail to this list with usage questions or configuration questions and problems.

Commit notifications:
Mahout previously used the IRC channel #mahout. Most discussions now happen on the mailing lists and via GitHub issues. It is a logged channel. Please keep in mind that it is for discussion purposes only and that (pseudo)decisions should be brought back to the dev@ mailing list or GitHub issues, and other people who are not on IRC should be given time to respond before any work is committed.
Please note the inclusion of a link to an archive does not imply an endorsement of that company by any of the committers of Mahout, the Lucene PMC, or the Apache Software Foundation. Each archive owner is solely responsible for the contents and availability of their archive.
