Re: Draft of blog post for MXNet v0.12 release

2017-10-31 Thread Sebastian

A few small things:

In the paragraph about volta support, I'd rather talk about "users" than 
"customers". Also the reference to the imagenet training script seems to 
be a bit out of context.


In the following paragraph there is a typo: "allowing developerto" 
should be "allowing developers to".


Best,
Sebastian

Re: Draft of blog post for MXNet v0.12 release

2017-10-31 Thread Hen
High level thoughts:

* There's no "go to  to download the new version"
* I assume the title will be "Apache MXNet 0.12 released!" or some such; or
if the first line is meant to be the title (*Apache MXNet Release Adds
Support for New NVIDIA Volta GPUs and Sparse Tensor*), it could do with the
version there too.
* Perhaps include a tweet url in the blog and invite them to retweet? Not
sure if that's too needy :)
* After the two features are mentioned, I think there should be a summing
up section. Something that invites the user to try out the new release (the
go to link in my first thought) and then invites them to come
contribute/chat (info on dev@ + Slack).

A difference between an open source project and a company product is that
your users are often the pool you source new project members from. So a
release is both an invitation to them to try out the new version, and your
recruiting pipeline.

Re: Disable 'required status check' for master

2017-10-31 Thread Chris Olivier
I see 73 PR's for mxnet.

17 of those have successfully passed CI and are waiting for merge (assuming
the CR passed human inspection).
21 Show some form of CI in progress.
*Only 8 are in the queue in Jenkins*

The rest have failed CI for one reason or another.

Re: Disable 'required status check' for master

2017-10-31 Thread sandeep krishnamurthy
+1

We enabled protected merge to master at a point when CI was stable (>90%
build completion). However, with recent degradation in CI setup, it is no
more practical.
I see too many PRs in pending and development slowing down.

Since new CI design and development is in progress and we have "nightly
tests running", disabling protected merge would be a better choice till we
get stable CI in place.

Thanks,
Sandeep

Re: Disable 'required status check' for master

2017-10-31 Thread Eric Xie
The number of pending PRs is growing very fast. At the current rate it will 
reach 200 before we can fix jenkins.

Stability is not the only goal. Master will be most stable if we don't push 
anything, but that's not what we want.

Committers should be responsible for their commits. Good judgement is the 
ultimate guarantee of good code.

Thanks,
Eric

Re: Disable 'required status check' for master

I personally think it's a necessary evil and a good forcing factor to get
CI fixed.
Before that requirements, things that failed unit tests were being pushed
into master daily.  It was a big problem.  At least now master is stable.

Re: Disable 'required status check' for master

2017-10-31 Thread Indhu
BTW, here is a separate thread where there is discussion happening on
improving the CI system:
https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/13e5ba08acd2f28a49f791c23f4baf97ba9e5bcdabe43aec598d1e19@%3Cdev.mxnet.apache.org%3E

While we will eventually get a faster CI system, it is important to disable
the checks for now to not block or slow down development until we have a
faster CI system.

This makes sense to me. CI isn't of value if it isn't continuous. +1.

Disable 'required status check' for master

2017-10-31 Thread Indhu
Hi,

We have been having issues getting CI to work fast enough. Currently the CI
is being the bottleneck to get commits in. This is severely impacting
development. I propose we disable 'required status check' for the master
branch so that we can development is not impacted. We can work on fixing
the CI situation in parallel.

Committer,
Please vote if you are okay with disabling 'required status check' for
master.

Once we have enough votes, I'll request a mentor to file a ticket with
infra.

Thanks,
Indu


Re: mxnet java prebuilt

Hi TongKe,

I've setup a travis build for scala-package, here
(https://oss.sonatype.org/#nexus-search;quick~mxnet-full_2.11) you can
find mxnet linux cu70, cu80, cu90, etc. We'll make full release
(instead of SNAPSHOT) when the build system is stable.

Best,
Yizhi
