Update MXNet podling report
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
- 1.
- 2.
- 3.
+ 1. Establish a predictable release process consistent with Apache Way -- ONGOING.
+ 2. Grow the community -- ONGOING.
+ 3. Bring website up to Apache standard -- ONGOING
+ 4. Identify remaining ICLAs or SGAs that need signing -- ONGOING

+ a) Various Slack channels, dev@ mailing lists, and user discussion forums (http://discuss.mxnet.io) are being used actively. The contributors have been working on having all discussions on the public dev@ mailing list as much as possible. This is an ongoing improvement process where the focus will be to reduce the scope of private discussions to only a few individuals before it is put on the public dev@ mailing list so that the Apache MXNet community gets a fair chance in influencing the final outcome/decision of the discussion.
+ b) O'Reilly published a series of blogs about MXNet:
+ https://www.oreilly.com/ideas/anomaly-detection-with-apache-mxnet
+ https://www.oreilly.com/ideas/logo-detection-using-apache-mxnet
+ https://www.oreilly.com/ideas/generative-model-using-apache-mxnet
+ https://www.oreilly.com/ideas/build-a-recurrent-neural-network-using-apache-mxnet
- How would you assess the podling's maturity?
- Please feel free to add your own commentary.
+ c) A new blog post published on 5-Feb about MXNet Model Server for Apache MXNet introduces ONNX support and Amazon CloudWatch integration
+ https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/machine-learning/model-server-for-apache-mxnet-introduces-onnx-support-and-amazon-cloudwatch-integration/
+ d) A new blog post published on 13-Mar about MXNet - Deploy Gluon Models to AWS DeepLens using a simple Python API
+ https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/machine-learning/deploy-gluon-models-to-aws-deeplens-using-a-simple-python-api/
+
+ e) Borealis AI (AI lab of Royal Bank of Canada) published a new blog post on Feb about the comparison between PyTorch and MXNet – Standardizing a machine learning framework for applied research – PyTorch vs MXNet
+ http://www.borealisai.com/2018/02/16/standardizing-a-machine-learning-framework-for-applied-research/
+
+ f) Microsoft AI research published a new blog post on Mar about the performance comparison between multiple frameworks including MXNet – Comparing deep learning frameworks: A Rosetta stone approach
+ https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/machinelearning/2018/03/14/comparing-deep-learning-frameworks-a-rosetta-stone-approach/
+
+ g) Beeva Labs published a new blog post on Feb about MXNet – Accelerating the training of deep neural networks with MXNet on AWS P3 instances
+ https://www.bbva.com/en/accelerate-training-deep-neural-networks-mxnet-aws-p3-instances/
+
+ h) Webinars and talks on Apache MXNet on the social media platform:

+ i) Thomas Delteil spoke at Meetup in Vancouver - https://www.meetup.com/LearnDataScience/events/248473200/?rv=ea1&_xtd=gatlbWFpbF9jbGlja9oAJDA0ODlhZGJjLWQ0YzYtNDJmOC04MDFiLTZiMWU1OWEwOWEwYw - and talked about Convolutional Neural Networks for NLP
+
+ j) A public meeting is planned for April 24th in Seattle - https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MXNET/Seattle
+
+ k) MXNet 1.2 release is in preparation and release notes are being reviewed at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MXNET/%5BWIP%5D+Apache+MXNet+%28incubating%29+1.2.0+Release+Notes
+
+ l) Community voted and adopted Jira for issue management - https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/MXNET/issues/MXNET-267?filter=allopenissues
+
+ m) Established MXNet youtube channel - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQua2ZAkbr_Shsgfk1LCy6A. Please subscribe!
+
+ n) MXNet 1.1 was released on 19-Feb, 2018 with extensive support and help from various community members and timely guidance from the Apache MXNet Mentors.
+
+ How has the project developed since the last report?
+
+ a. The community released MXNet 1.1 that makes MXNet more stable and production ready: https://blogs.apache.org/mxnet/entry/1-1-0-release-makes
+
+ b. From a statistics perspective, based on the Github insights, found here: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pulse/monthly, in Mar 2018, 60 authors pushed 164 commits to master, with updates to 624 files including 23.1K additions and 5.6K deletions. Historically, in Dec 2017, 51 authors pushed 115 commits to master, with updates to 489 files including 13K additions and 9K deletions. Historically, in Sep 2017, 62 authors pushed 171 commits to master, with updates to 467 files including 26K additions and 7K deletions. We are working on finding more contributors to the project.
+
+ c. Documentation- Architecture guides, How To's, Tutorials, and APIs continue to be improved.
+
+ d. More advanced features (e.g. ONNX support, mixed precission modeling, Scala inference API, MKL-DNN integratino etc) and bug-fixes requested by the user community continue to be added.
+
+ How would you assess the podling's maturity?
+
+ Podling is still being established in Apache - hence maturity == Low.
