TL;DR: Designing and building the mlpack open-source machine learning library and the open- source community around the library.

Abstract: mlpack is an open-source C++ machine learning library with an emphasis on speed and flexibility. Since its original inception in 2007, it has grown to be a large project, implementing a wide variety of machine learning algorithms. This short paper describes the general design principles and discusses how the open-source community around the library functions.
