Docker Hub Outtage
Hello Dev List, Docker has reported an issue with "Elevated error rates on Docker Hub Registry" [1]. This could have an effect on PR processing time due to our CI relying heavily on Docker containers in both the base layer as well as individual cached layers. Worst case scenario would be that no PRs are validated, and that execution would fail with a "503 Service Unavailable". [1] https://status.docker.com/pages/533c6539221ae15e3f000031 Regards, Chance Bair

CUDNN Install Link
Hello All, Does anyone have a solution for downloading CUDNN from the command line? Its currently behind an authorization process on the website and I am trying to automate the MXNet dependency installs. The version I am trying to install is v7.4.1 CUDA 9.2 for Windows 10 (ideally windows server 2016). https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1002046/cuda-setup-and-installation/download-cudnn-via-wget-or-curl-/ Chance Bair

Re: Weekly Berlin User Group
Hi Isabel, Unfortunately, we did not have any attendance at the user group yesterday. Since the my team handles the CI system, usually the content is geared towards fixing/reproducing test failures from PRs. We always invite anyone to dial into these weekly user groups with any topic for discussion!

Re: Reminder: MXNet Berlin User Group
Correct, this is a pattern. As I am a relatively new joiner to MXNet, it might be good to elaborate on what users would want out of a remote user group. I would love to hear suggestions!

Re: CI woes pt.2
Hi all, Yes we have another CI outage this time due to disk space running out on the master server. This morning we have cleared some space and are re-triggering builds affected, but please check and make sure your PR has the 12 checks triggered. As a follow up, we will be looking into ways to improve monitoring and upkeep of the Jenkins master workspaces. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Re: Third-party package tests for MXNet nightly builds
Hi Felix, Thank you for the request! The CI team is currently working on improving our benchmarking platform and will evaluate this request carefully.

Re: MXNet Berlin User Group
I think it would drive attendance if we had a quick talk each week from an interested contributor. We could start a sign up list for topics and issues.
