Hi, The SystemML podling report for February is due tomorrow. Please let me know if any additions or changes need to be made to the following draft.
Deron ------------ SystemML SystemML provides declarative large-scale machine learning (ML) that aims at flexible specification of ML algorithms and automatic generation of hybrid runtime plans ranging from single node, in-memory computations, to distributed computations running on Apache Hadoop MapReduce and Apache Spark. SystemML has been incubating since 2015-11-02. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Grow SystemML community: increase mailing list activity, increase adoption of SystemML for scalable machine learning, encourage data scientists to adopt DML and PyDML algorithm scripts, respond to user feedback to ensure SystemML meets the requirements of real-world situations, write papers, and present talks about SystemML. 2. Core library improvements, including Apache Spark integration. 3. Produce a release. Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? Our JIRA site is up and operational. How has the community developed since the last report? Our mailing list in January had 123 messages (7 of which were Jenkins). We have had several useful discussions on the mailing list concerning various aspects of SystemML. A data scientist has created JIRAs regarding usability issues and we are addressing these issues. We have had several useful additional discussions on our JIRA site and in our Pull Request conversations. How has the project developed since the last report? Numerous additions have been made to the project, including core functionality, usability improvements, and documentation. The project has had 96 commits since January 6. In the last 30 days, 126 new issues have been reported on our JIRA site and 68 issues have been resolved. We are in the process of producing our first Apache release, version 0.9.0. RC3 passed the SystemML PMC vote and is currently being voted on by the IPMC. Date of last release: NONE When were the last committers or PMC members elected? NONE
