Happy Holidays, NuPIC community! Since April when we started preparing NuPIC for open source, I've been working part-time on NuPIC as the self-title "OS Community Flag Bearer". The rest of my time has been working as Manager of Web Services (and fill-in programmer) for our commercial product build on top of NuPIC, Grok.
I'm very excited and happy to announce that Numenta has agreed to allow me to work full time as the community manager for NuPIC starting January 2nd. This will allow me to dedicate all my attention to this community and the tools and processes surrounding NuPIC. I'm greatly looking forward to having the chance to focus on improving NuPIC for the rest of the world. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Jeff, Donna, Subutai, Ian, and everyone else who supported making NuPIC open source. The fact that Numenta has a full time employee dedicated to NuPIC is in direct alignment with our mission statement: "To be a catalyst for the advance of machine intelligence." I've always believed that Jeff's approach to machine intelligence has the potential to change the way we compute, and making NuPIC open source has been a monumental step towards that end. Thank you, Numenta, and thank you NuPIC community for your passion and engagement. This coming year looks like it will be a very interesting time for our project as we evolve and grow up. There is a lot of work to do, and I can't wait to get started! --------- Matt Taylor OS Community Flag-Bearer Numenta _______________________________________________ nupic mailing list [email protected] http://lists.numenta.org/mailman/listinfo/nupic_lists.numenta.org
