A few small things: In the paragraph about volta support, I'd rather talk about "users" than "customers". Also the reference to the imagenet training script seems to be a bit out of context. In the following paragraph there is a typo: "allowing developerto" should be "allowing developers

I see 73 PR's for mxnet. 17 of those have successfully passed CI and are waiting for merge (assuming the CR passed human inspection). 21 Show some form of CI in progress. *Only 8 are in the queue in Jenkins* The rest have failed CI for one reason or another. On Tue, Oct 31, 2017 at 1:17 PM,

+1 We enabled protected merge to master at a point when CI was stable (>90% build completion). However, with recent degradation in CI setup, it is no more practical. I see too many PRs in pending and development slowing down. Since new CI design and development is in progress and we have

The number of pending PRs is growing very fast. At the current rate it will reach 200 before we can fix jenkins. Stability is not the only goal. Master will be most stable if we don't push anything, but that's not what we want. Committers should be responsible for their commits. Good judgement

Hi, We have been having issues getting CI to work fast enough. Currently the CI is being the bottleneck to get commits in. This is severely impacting development. I propose we disable 'required status check' for the master branch so that we can development is not impacted. We can work on fixing

Hi TongKe, I've setup a travis build for scala-package, here (https://oss.sonatype.org/#nexus-search;quick~mxnet-full_2.11) you can find mxnet linux cu70, cu80, cu90, etc. We'll make full release (instead of SNAPSHOT) when the build system is stable. Best, Yizhi 2017-10-30 4:15 GMT+08:00 TongKe
