My naivete on the proper content of the Apache quarterly reports are obvious to me and most likely to you ... but here are a couple of observations/questions on the draft.
- As the next release is scheduled for April 2017, has someone volunteered to be the release manager? - I noticed there is one PR #75 <https://github.com/apache/incubator-madlib/pull/75> outstanding since Nov 2016. I think it might be worthy of noting that the dev community is reviewing PRs actively. This helps promote future contributions. - Have there been any significant new usage stories or contributions from the community to highlight? -=e On Thu, Mar 30, 2017 at 11:32 AM, Frank McQuillan <fmcquil...@pivotal.io> wrote: > Here is the draft ASF report for Apr 2017, covering Q1 2017 activity. > > It is posted at http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/April2017 > > Please let me know if you have any comments or suggestions and I will > update the report. > > ------------------------------- > > MADlib > > Big Data Machine Learning in SQL for Data Scientists. > > MADlib has been incubating since 2015-09-15. > > Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: > > 1.
