RM: Ed, so far we don't have a release manager. Any volunteers out there? PR #75 https://github.com/apache/incubator-madlib/pull/75 introduces mini-batching for SVM but also has potential application to other algorithms. It is not yet merged because it is part of an epic https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MADLIB-1047 and those stories are still in flight or awaiting contributors
New usage or contributions Certainly some good features planned for this release. Lots of time still for community members to contribute. For example: rashmi.ra...@gmail.com expressed an interest in working on https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MADLIB-1086 and possible stratified sampling Frank On Fri, Mar 31, 2017 at 11:11 AM, Ed Espino <esp...@apache.org> wrote: > 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.
