Re: MXNet 1.3 release - call for volunteers

[Roshani Nagmote]

Hi,

I would like to volunteer. But as I am not a committer, I would need help
from some committer.
Please let me know if anyone is interested to help me with the release.

Thanks,
Roshani

RAT license check as part of PRs

[Marco de Abreu]

Hello,

so far, we've been running RAT license checks as part of our nightly
pipeline. To avoid back and forth before a release, we'd like to make it
part of the sanity stage of our PR validation.

In future, you will receive a notification if you added a file which
requires an Apache license. The PR for this change is available at
https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/11492.

Best regards,
Marco

Thanks Carin for the great contribution. I just left several questions
in the PR, would you mind to take a look? Sorry for the late review.

Re: Vote to stop using JIRA

[Timur Shenkao]

I can devote some time this weekend and start writing some draft proposal.
Then we can add it to Confluence and other people will be able to elaborate
it.

But I believe some workflow description is already present in Apache
materials
