Sounds interesting, and I would support it, but I’m currently maxed out on mentorship.
That may change. I’m mentoring one podling that is moving toward graduation, and another that is moving toward retirement. -Taylor > On Aug 15, 2018, at 7:16 PM, sebb <seb...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> On 15 August 2018 at 23:37, Luciano Resende <luckbr1...@gmail.com> wrote: >> Thanks for the heads up Sebastian, we will have that in mind and remove the >> hyphen if that's what causes the issue (e.g. using to MarvinAI) > > Or just Marvin? > > Note that the display name can remain as Marvin-AI, however the > project id/mailing-list should not have an embedded hyphen. > >>> On Wed, Aug 15, 2018 at 3:29 PM sebb <seb...@gmail.com> wrote: >>> >>> A warning: there are some areas of Infra which assume that project >>> names don't include hyphens. >>> There is one existing project with a hyphen (Empire-db); various >>> scripts have to be special-cased to handle this. >>> >>> It would be best not to use marvin-ai as the project id (the display >>> name does not matter). >>> >>>> On 15 August 2018 at 20:13, Luciano Resende <luckbr1...@gmail.com> wrote: >>>> We would like to start a discussion on accepting Marvin-AI as an Apache >>>> Incubator project. >>>> >>>> The proposal is available at the incubator wiki, and also copied below: >>>> https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/Marvin-AI >>>> >>>> As part of the initial due diligence, we have done a preliminary name >>>> search and the results are available on the JIRA below: >>>> >>>> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PODLINGNAMESEARCH-144 >>>> >>>> We are also looking for two additional mentors. >>>> >>>> >>>> Thanks in advance for your time reviewing and providing feedback. >>>> >>>> === >>>> >>>> = Marvin-AI = >>>> >>>> == Abstract == >>>> >>>> Marvin-AI is an open-source artificial intelligence (AI) platform that >>>> helps data scientists, prototype and productionalize complex solutions >>> with >>>> a scalable, low-latency, language-agnostic, and standardized architecture >>>> while simplifies the process of exploration and modeling. >>>> >>>> == Proposal == >>>> >>>> Marvin helps non-experienced developers create industry-grade AI >>>> applications.
