Re: MXNet Community Monthly Updates

[Mu Li]

Great to see so many of yours like it.

I create a template with some contents I'm familiar with. Need you help to
put more cool staffs in. I have them in a google doc

to
ease to write together. (Maybe wiki is a better choice, I'm open to make a
change).

This report aims for a concise summary to existing mxnet users and, more
importantly, attracting new users. So it's difference to Chaitanya's
proposal focusing on MXNet activity summary, which should be very useful
for MXNet developers.

After we agreed on the contents, I'll coordinate to set up the email list
and also publish on the channels suggested by Carin.

Best
Mu

Re: MXNet Community Monthly Updates

[Carin Meier]

Other channels that might be beneficial for it to be published would be:

- Twitter https://twitter.com/apachemxnet
- MXNet forum https://discuss.mxnet.io/
- MXNet Medium https://medium.com/apache-mxnet

maybe even somewhere more general like Reddit Machine Learning
https://www.reddit.com/r/MachineLearning/ ?

Re: MXNet Community Monthly Updates

[Aaron Markham]

This is great. It will help drive traffic to the site, create content for
the site, and increase engagement. MailChimp is pretty good too. I can help
set that up. I have one tiny nagging question though... I don't recall
doing any GDPR compliance stuff on the site, so I'm wondering what kind of
EULA or popup thing we might need for the cookies and emails that come
along with this feature. Did anyone get blessed with this task recently and
know what needs to be done?

Re: MXNet Community Monthly Updates

[Carin Meier]

I strongly support this as well - Let us know when the wiki draft page is
ready. The Clojure MXNet contributors have some cool stuff to share :)

Re: MXNet Community Monthly Updates

[Junru Shao]

Hi Mu,

Thanks for proposing this! Strongly agree with the newsletter - this would
be the most economically efficient way to enhance community involvement.

In addition to the draft wiki pages, should we send posts like "Call for
newsletter articles" to dev@ list with some frequency? This could help
maximize the community awareness and help active community members get more
exposure - Community building is important.

Thanks,
Junru

Re: MXNet Community Monthly Updates

[Chaitanya Bapat]

Hello Mu,

Thanks a lot for bringing this topic. I had thought about a Weekly Digest
for MXNet (weekly newsletter) - which is on similar lines (can be made into
Monthly if it sounds good).

Here's the quip doc -
https://chaitanya.quip.com/BT6RAcAigHM9/MXNet-Weekly-Digest

I have talked about the Background, Motivation, Features and a mockup of
Newsletter.

Would love to hear our community's thoughts as well as yours on the same.

Please find attached a snapshot of the Weekly digest I came up with.

Thanks,
Chai
