Hi Steffen,
It's a good meetup and it's pity I missed to join.
Regarding the proposal of 1.3, we (Intel team) want to add two items into the
list.
Please help take a review:
1) fused RNN operators for CPU (GRU/LSTM/vRNN)
Lead contributor : Patric Zhao (https://github.com/pengzhao-intel/), Lv Tao
(https://github.com/TaoLv)
Design Proposal,
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MXNET/Fused+RNN+Operators+for+CPU
BTW, LSTM is already merged, GRU is under the review.
2) distributed training by MPI AllReduce
Lead contributor : Patric Zhao (https://github.com/pengzhao-intel/), Ye
zhouhai (https://github.com/threeleafzerg)
Design Proposal,
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MXNET/Extend+MXNet+Distributed+Training+by+MPI+AllReduce
BTW, we enabled the distributed training for awslabs/sockeye and the PR
will be submitted soon.
Discussion in here (https://github.com/awslabs/sockeye/issues/397)
Feel free to let me know for any feedback and suggestions :)
BR,
--Patric

> Thanks to everybody who attended the MXNet post mortem and release

> Summary of the post mortem is captured here

> Please feel free to add and comment.
> Lots of good suggestions how to improve our CI process. Please contribute to

> Please review, refine and add links to design specs where needed.
> Taliesin from Wolfram Design offered to share experience writing good tests

> Q&A from the call:
>
> - Taliesin: support for control flow, discuss on dev@, avoid unrolling
> of operators, enable reshaping of operators, PR was rejected, provide more
> details
> - https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/8949
> - Anton: need to refine process for patch release (i.e. refinement of
> Release
> Versioning and Branching
>
> <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MXNET/Release+Versioning+and
> +Branching>
> )
> - how and who decides about patch release
> - monthly call: yes (Haibin, Anton, Wolfram Research)
>
>
> I summarized the calls as well here
> <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MXNET/Meetups+and+Hangout
> s> and will follow up with the suggestions.
>
