## Description:
- Apache MADlib is a scalable, Big Data, SQL-driven machine learning framework
for Data Scientists.

## Issues:
- There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

## Activity:
- Community activity focused on post-graduation tasks related to MADlib's
promotion to ASF TLP status. This included working on the code base,
website, wiki, and ASF infrastructure.
- Trademark transfer from Pivotal to ASF was completed in the month of
August, 2017.

7, 2017.
- A set of 2.0 JIRAs has been proposed to review by the community.

## Health report:
The community is relatively small but very engaged with robust mailing list
traffic, interest in doing frequent releases and a bunch of new functionality
being developed by contributors. Work has begun in earnest on the next
release 2.0 planned in the fall.
The number of committers actively contributing to the code/documentation has
been steady and remains at a level of half a dozen active committers each

either as committers or PMC.

## PMC changes:
- No changes in PMC, currently 13 PMC members.
