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 <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AAy_EPdbEZqYvm6EfwgCzd6aEqcdH-v8tz2PYE6vMQ4/edit#heading=h.6zbltt894ho4> 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.
