Hello All,



The Apache MXNet (incubating) Community announces the availability of
Apache MXNet (incubating) 1.0.0!



Apache MXNet (incubating) is a deep learning framework designed for both
efficiency and flexibility. It allows you to mix symbolic and imperative
programming to maximize efficiency and productivity. We are excited to see
the broad base of users that are building production artificial
intelligence applications powered by neural network models developed and
trained with MXNet. With this release, MXNet simplifies training and
deploying deep learning models, and enables implementation of cutting-edge
performance enhancements.



A full list of the changes in this release can be found in the release
notes:


https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MXNET/Apache+MXNet+%28incubating%29+1.0+Release+Notes




A Link to the Download is here:

https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/incubator/mxnet/1.0.0




If you prefer to build from source and experiment with various compile-time
configuration options, use this link to get the instructions:

http://mxnet.incubator.apache.org/install/index.html



Or You can download and play with MXNet easily using one of the options
below:

   1. The Pip package can be found here: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/mxnet
   2. The Docker Images can be found here:
   https://hub.docker.com/r/mxnet/python/



The release tag used for the 1.0.0 release is:

https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/tree/1.0.0



Some more MXNet Resources –

Hi John,


Thanks for your explanation. I think ICLAs of all contributors are enough for 
SkyWalking.

Please note that SGAs are not always required (SGAs are for the case when
the code is not Apache licensed and owned by someone else).  ICLAs are
always required.  Since the code is already Apache licensed, assuming we're
going to receive ICLAs from all of the individuals mentioned at
https://github.com/OpenSkywalking/skywalking/graphs/contributors then I
would strongly recommend you go that route.

Hi, John


OpenSkywalking is only a GitHub organization. All our contributors has voted to 
let me sign the SGA, if this is allowed by ASF. 
Also, all of contributors shall sign the ICLA.

 - I do not think the organization is a legal entity registered
 anywhere. (Sheng?)
 - The following vote was performed in the community to provide some (ad
 hoc) formalisation of the organization and Sheng's ability to sign for
 it. https://github.com/OpenSkywalking/Organization/issues/14
 - All files have the copyright claim "Copyright 2017, OpenSkywalking
 Organization All rights reserved." (there's a few exceptions at the top
 level, but as is normal for what i see in apache projects??)
 - It's planned that all the contributors shall sign and submit an ICLA,
 in addition to Sheng signing and submitting the SGA.

Will this suffice John?

Sorry, just saw this.

I don't believe that is correct.  Is the organization a legal entity?  I
would strongly recommend going the ICLA route.  Do all files in the
repository have the copyright claim "Copyright 2017, OpenSkywalking
Organization All rights reserved." ?

I believe this question is still outstanding.  Does anyone have any answers
on this?

[VOTE] Accept SkyWalking into the Apache Incubator

[mck]

After some discussion on the SkyWalking proposal, I'd like to raise the
vote on accepting SkyWalking into into the Apache Incubator.  

https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/b4e7205e77fe382b4cd096fb6da28b70053e0722b3dd7ae8ac389f8a@%3Cgeneral.incubator.apache.org%3E


A vote for accepting a new Apache Incubator podling is a majority vote
for which only Incubator PMC member votes are binding. 
Votes from other people are also welcome as an indication of peoples
enthusiasm (or lack thereof).

Please do not use this VOTE thread for discussions. If needed, start a
new thread instead.

This vote will run for at least 72 hours. 
Please VOTE as follows:
   [] +1 Accept SkyWalking
   [] +0 Abstain
   [] -1 Do not accept Skywalking, because ...


The proposal below is also on the wiki:
https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/SkyWalkingProposal


= Abstract =
Skywalking is an APM (application performance monitor), especially for
microservice, Cloud Native and container-based architecture systems.
Also known as a distributed tracing system. It provides an automatic way
to instrument applications: no need to change any of the source code of
the target application; and an collector with an very high efficiency
streaming module.

= Proposal =
The goal of this proposal is to bring the existing
[[https://github.com/OpenSkywalking/skywalking|Skywalking]] codebase and
existing developers and community into the Apache Software Foundation
(ASF) in order to build a global, diverse and self-governed open source
community in APM field. 

This project started in Open Source on GitHub about more than 2 years
ago. Beginning with a small SDK and collector. So far the
[[https://github.com/OpenSkywalking/Organization|OpenSkywalking]]
governs the project through the PMC and Committer Team. 

OpenSkywalking is submitting this proposal to donate the Skywalking
sources code and  associated artifacts (documentation, web site content,
wiki, etc.) to the Apache Software Foundation Incubator under the Apache
License, Version 2.0. These artifacts are currently available on GitHub
at https://github.com/OpenSkywalking and include:
 * Skywalking: The java sniffer(agent) for collecting data, and
 collector for analysing and persistence.
 * Skywalking-UI: The web UI for skywalking APM

''Voted on submitting the proposal to the Incubator.
[[https://github.com/OpenSkywalking/Organization/issues/11|Check
here]]''

= Background =
Mircro-service, Cloud Native and container-based architecture system are
becoming more and more popular, so the traditional monitoring, like
application loggings, can provide less information because of the
distributed isolates the relations. Based on the
[[https://research.google.com/pubs/pub36356.html|Google Dapper paper]],
many tracing systems born. The OpenSkywalking organisation was created
with  Skywalking made based on tracing, but not just tracing, it adds
additional value by reducing the sniffer (agent) cost, analysis and
visualization. 

In 2015, Skywalking project started, when service-oriented architecture
became popular. At first, skywalking provided a very simple SDK, and
collected data into a HBASE cluster. After we opened on the GitHub, the
community gives the feedbacks about how difficult to maintain a HBase
cluster, even harder than the applications under monitored. So, in 2.x
2016, skywalking provided a self-designed storage, and update the SDK to
a javaagent with supporting auto-instrumentation. Then since 2017, more
and more contributors joined, we set up the PMC team and committer team.
Skywalking evolved to an APM, and more and more features provided since
then.

= Rationale =
Skywalking includes these primary parts:
 1. Provide an anto-instrument sniffer, which is based on Javaagent and
 collects events and traces happened inside JVM, with little CPU/Memory
 cost.
 1. An extendable `tracing data protocol suit` with gRPC and HTTP
 implementations, is compatible for other language agent or SDK. 
 1. Provide Collector, which accepts the `tracing data protocol suit`,
 and does the analysis and aggregation inside for detecting the
 relationships among applications and services, generating the metrics,
 and altering.
 1. Provided our own UI, which visualizes the topological graph of
 related applications and services, trace stack, metrics and alerting.

Also, Skywalking team is passionate about community cooperations.
Skywalking is a supported tracer and member of
[[OpenTracing|http://opentracing.io]]. Also we take part in the
[[https://github.com/TraceContext/tracecontext-spec|TraceContext
Specs]], which is about `tracing context propagation format`. The
founder of the project, Sheng Wu, is the member of these organizations, 

There is a strong need for an open, easy-to-use APM towards helping
today's DevOps people to monitor their running systems, while also being
easy and transparent to maintain and modify.
The Skywalking has been an hot open source project in GitHub. We feel
that by moving to Apache it will
