Hi,
I created a draft for the May 2016 SystemML podling report that is due this
Wednesday. Please provide feedback if you'd like anything updated. For PMC
members, if the issue is private related to the project, please use the
private mailing list for discussion.
Thanks!

SystemML
SystemML provides declarative large-scale machine learning (ML) that aims at
flexible specification of ML algorithms and automatic generation of hybrid
runtime plans ranging from single node, in-memory computations, to
distributed computations running on Apache Hadoop MapReduce and Apache
Spark.
SystemML has been incubating since 2015-11-02.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
- Grow SystemML community: increase mailing list activity,
increase adoption of SystemML for scalable machine learning, encourage
data scientists to adopt DML and PyDML algorithm scripts, respond to
user feedback to ensure SystemML meets the requirements of real-world
situations, write papers, and present talks about SystemML.
- Continue to produce releases.
- Increase the diversity of our project's contributors and committers.
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?
Our mailing list from February through April had 199 messages involving
topics such as algorithms, DML functionality, usability, and bug fixes. In
addition, we have had many discussions on our JIRA site and in pull
request
conversations. Fred Reiss presented at Spark Summit East on February 17
about
SystemML internals. Berthold Reinwald spoke at the Spark Technology
Center on
March 9 about scalable machine learning with SystemML. Niketan Pansare
spoke
on April 28 at Datapalooza in Austin about declarative machine learning at
scale with SystemML. Researchers in Germany are working to add Flink as an
additional SystemML backend. On GitHub, the project has been starred 267
times and forked 92 times.
How has the project developed since the last report?
We produced our first Apache release, version 0.9.0-incubating. Numerous
additions have been made to the project, including core functionality,
usability improvements, and documentation. The project has had 204 commits
since February 1. In the same time frame, 155 new issues have been
reported
on our JIRA site and 77 issues have been resolved. 114 pull requests
opened
since Febrary 1 have been closed.
Date of last release:
2016-02-15 (version 0.9.0-incubating)
When were the last committers or PMC members elected?
NONE
