IMPORTANT: PredictionIO mailing lists have moved to Apache

[Simon Chan]

Hi everyone,

A few years ago, I started PredictionIO, an open source machine learning platform, with the mission to scale and simplify the development of machine learning technology. PredictionIO quickly grew in prominence and was even ranked on Github as the most popular Apache Spark-based machine learning product in the world. When Salesforce acquired PredictionIO in February, I was excited to have the amazing opportunity to continue to build our platform on a much larger scale.

Today, I am thrilled to announce that Salesforce will donate the PredictionIO trademark to the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) and by unanimous vote the platform has been accepted into the ASF incubator program. This demonstrates the open source community's recognition of the importance of the PredictionIO project. ASF is an independent non-profit organization governing industry-leading open source projects such as Apache Hadoop, Apache Spark, Apache Cassandra and Apache Lucene. The community will be able to use Salesforce PredictionIO’s innovative platform to build and deploy predictive, intelligent apps at scale.

As part of PredictionIO's move to Apache, we have now made this Google Group read-only. To keep receiving updates or asking questions about Spark, please subscribe to d...@predictionio.incubator.apache.org. You can do this by emailing dev-su...@predictionio.incubator.apache.org. 

Thanks for your patience in this transition period. I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to all of you who have participated in the PredictionIO journey. Let's all continue to support and contribute to PredictionIO project in the Apache family.

P.S. If you are interested in building the next-generation ML developer platform like PredictionIO full-time, my group at Salesforce is hiring. Please ping me.

Regards,

Simon Chan
