My 2 cents from the peanut gallery would be to prioritize efforts that help grow the community for MADlib on PostgreSQL. From a marketing perspective, the "top of the funnel" is PostgreSQL users, and there are lots more of them to try and reach than any other platform. I worry that excitement about MADlib could languish because of a historical focus on Greenplum.
On a related note of growing adoption, it would be great to see more interop for other PostgreSQL-compliant backends, e.g. some of the cloud offerings. This might require finding interested contributors at vendors. If I can be helpful making connections, let me know -- I'm in touch with relevant folks at AWS, Google, Azure, etc. if somebody in the open source community is interested in pursuing those conversations. These are critical months for AI adoption ... the MADlib project has done well integrating with the deep learning stacks, and still has a chance to become the defacto in-database ML package, riding on the rising tide of PostgreSQL compatibility. I'd prioritize for that outcome! Joe On Thu, Jul 6, 2023 at 10:17 AM Orhan Kislal <okis...@vmware.com.invalid> wrote: > Hi Ed, > > Thanks for preparing the report.
