The quarterly cycle for MXNet is: - January, April, July, October On Tue, Aug 1, 2017 at 8:17 AM, Suneel Marthi <[email protected]> wrote: > MxNet is not due to report for Aug 17, so we can disregard this. > > > > On Mon, Jul 31, 2017 at 4:40 PM, Bhavin Thaker <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > Hi All, > > > > > > > > Please review the Podling Report for August 2017 so that we can file on > > time.
