Podling Marvin-ai Report Reminder - June 2020

2020-05-22 Thread jmclean
Dear podling,

This email was sent by an automated system on behalf of the Apache
Incubator PMC. It is an initial reminder to give you plenty of time to
prepare your quarterly board report.

The board meeting is scheduled for Wed, 17 June 2020.
The report for your podling will form a part of the Incubator PMC
report. The Incubator PMC requires your report to be submitted 2 weeks
before the board meeting, to allow sufficient time for review and
submission (Wed, June 03).

Please submit your report with sufficient time to allow the Incubator
PMC, and subsequently board members to review and digest. Again, the
very latest you should submit your report is 2 weeks prior to the board
meeting.

Candidate names should not be made public before people are actually
elected, so please do not include the names of potential committers or
PPMC members in your report.

Thanks,

The Apache Incubator PMC

Submitting your Report

Your report should contain the following:

*   Your project name
*   A brief description of your project, which assumes no knowledge of
the project or necessarily of its field
*   A list of the three most important issues to address in the move
towards graduation.
*   Any issues that the Incubator PMC or ASF Board might wish/need to be
aware of
*   How has the community developed since the last report
*   How has the project developed since the last report.
*   How does the podling rate their own maturity.

This should be appended to the Incubator Wiki page at:

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/INCUBATOR/June2020

Note: This is manually populated. You may need to wait a little before
this page is created from a template.

Note: The format of the report has changed to use markdown.

Mentors

Mentors should review reports for their project(s) and sign them off on
the Incubator wiki page. Signing off reports shows that you are
following the project - projects that are not signed may raise alarms
for the Incubator PMC.

Cookiecutter for templates and plugins

2020-05-22 Thread Lucas Cardoso Silva
Marvin uses his own code to generate the engines. I would like to propose
the use of the Cookiecutter library. It is an interesting approach with
several features included that could easily compose a strategy to allow
third parties to develop plugins. This would contribute to, for example,
contributions like those in AutoML being made separately from the main
development and not making things bloated. Some plugins could include
custom serializers for different platforms, like Keras, and make it easier
to use.

The Cookiecutter library is under BSD license, which is very permissive.
