This was extracted (@ 2024-11-19 16:10) from a list of minutes
which have been approved by the Board.
Please Note
The Board typically approves the minutes of the previous meeting at the
beginning of every Board meeting; therefore, the list below does not
normally contain details from the minutes of the most recent Board meeting.
WARNING: these pages may omit some original contents of the minutes.
Meeting times vary, the exact schedule is available to ASF Members and Officers, search for "calendar" in the Foundation's private index page (svn:foundation/private-index.html).
IPMC/Shepherd notes:
johndament: No email activity on the list in 3 months,
ptgoetz: Indeed, the lack of public/private list activity
despite prodding from mentors/IPMC is disconcerting.
It might be time to discuss retirement.
HORN is a neuron-centric programming APIs and execution framework for large- scale deep learning, built on top of Apache Hama. HORN has been incubating since 2015-09-04. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Expand the community. 2. Create the first Apache release. Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? * No issue at this moment. How has the community developed since the last report? * We added 1 new committer since the last report from different organization. How has the project developed since the last report? * Implemented Recurrent Neural Networks. * Merged few trivial improvement pull requests. Date of last release: XXXX-XX-XX When were the last committers or PPMC members elected? * 2016-12-12 New committers: Yeonhee Lee.

HORN is a neuron-centric programming APIs and execution framework for large- scale deep learning, built on top of Apache Hama. HORN has been incubating since 2015-09-04. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Increase development velocity 2. Make a 0.1 release 3. Refocus the direction we want to take this project. Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? None. How has the community developed since the last report? Number of subscribers has increased slightly, development has however been slow. How has the project developed since the last report? We have decided that we need to refocus on what we want HORN to look like Date of last release: None yet. When were the last committers or PMC members elected?

HORN is a neuron-centric programming APIs and execution framework for large- scale deep learning, built on top of Apache Hama. HORN has been incubating since 2015-09-04. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Continue to gain and attract contributors. 2. Produce a first Apache release. 3. Finalize Architecture and API design Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? There are no issues requiring IPMC attention at this time. How has the community developed since the last report? - The subscribers are slightly increased but activities are low. - We're considering collaborate or integrate with another deep learning open source softwares for example Samsung Veles. - We also discuss about early stage retiring from incubation if low community growth is expected. - dev@horn.i.a.o. 39 subscribers How has the project developed since the last report? We're developing Parameter Server and APIs but there's no notable improvements. Date of last release: XXXX-XX-XX When were the last committers or PMC members elected? - 2015-11-17 New committers: Zachary Jaffee.

Google's TensorFlow is getting a lot of media attention, but it's not entirely clear yet what this means for us long term. How has the community developed since the last report? 35 subscribers to the dev list, +3 since last report How has the project developed since the last report? - Continued to expand the API - Research to assert model is on track for best computing Date of last release: N/A When were the last committers or PMC members elected?
