Hi all, please join me in welcoming Guobao Li as a GSoC 2018 student, who will be working on SYSTEMML-2083 (Language and runtime for parameter servers) this summer. We're currently in the community bonding phase, but the project will start May 14.
Krishna already kindly volunteered (on the dev list and in an offline discussion) to act as a co-mentor when needed. Additionally, since this is a major feature, I encourage everybody to provide early feedback on the design documents and PRs, even if it's just for specific aspects. @Guobao: Please reach out as needed and let's aim to have all technical discussions, except for our weekly calls, in public. A good place to start would be to restructure the current JIRA tasks in the next weeks. Regards, Matthias
