Re: Call for Ideas and Approaches to Community Building

I don't know whether that is enough, but here are a few efforts we make to
promote MXNet:

* The robotic arms demo at the embedded world
We promoted MXNet as the framework to go on embedded devices with our
robotic arms demo. We've got a lot of attention from different people
including professors from multiple universities. A blog post about the demo
will be posted in the next days MXNet Medium blog [1].

Here again some impressions from twitter:
https://twitter.com/lebegus/status/1100839414228500485

* MLPerf results
We intend to publish more benchmark results to MLPerf [2], showing proof of
the performance advantages of MXNet.

* Recurring user group meetings
We offer recurring VC meetings [3], free for everyone. We dedicate our time
to anyone that would like to know more about MXNet or to ask any other
related question.

* Collaborative meetups
We organize meetups with attendants from various companies [4], sharing
their interesting use cases and best practises with ML and MXNet.

Tracking works and papers on popular science conferences is a valid metric,
but it's focused on research. More and more people that don't write papers
use ML and MXNet in production without knowing all the scientific details.
How to measure how many are out there is an open question.
