SINGA's report

  Singa has been incubating since 2015-03-17.
  
  Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
+   1. Grow the community. One committer was added in July, more would be nominated soon after releasing V1.0. 
+      We are also expanding the user base by participating in meetups of local organizations, including PyDataSG.
+   2. Optimize V1 release in terms of memory and efficiency for both stand-alone training and distributed training.
+   3. Add more examples and tutorials to attract users, including deployment on Android phones.
