- GluonNLP MX2 NumPy version (https://github.com/dmlc/gluon-nlp/tree/master)
- GluonTS v0.8.1 release (https://github.com/awslabs/gluon-ts/releases/tag/v0.8.1)
- DeepInsight (https://github.com/deepinsight/insightface)
- Sockeye 2.3.24 release (https://github.com/awslabs/sockeye)
How has the project developed since the last report?
- 1.9.0 release is in progress. 1.9.0 release is going through rc8 after a thorough review on the licenses from the community and PPMC. https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/releases/tag/1.9.0.rc8 with 100+ patches of new features, improvements, and fixes. This will be the first recent release without DISCLAIMER-WIP.
- 2.0.0 development is close to completion. MXNet 2.0 features interoperable ML and DL programming with Array API standard implementation. This project aims to make array libraries like NumPy, MXNet, Pytorch more interoperable. Besides standardized operators, new methods and mechanism will be introduced to improve the interoperability. 1) in MXNet2.0, Context class and some related array methods like as_in_ctx will be replaced by Device and to_device to reduce the learning curve for new users. 2) The improved DLPack API in MXNet leverages the syncobject introduced in Async GPU dependency engine and can well handle the cuda stream to improve the array libraries interoperability on different devices.

Is the PPMC managing the podling's brand / trademarks?
Yes. From past brand usage review for MXNet third-party distributions, we found several listings on AWS marketplace that needed update. The PPMC reached out to the publishers of these listings for correction and fixed them. In recent review, we found the following three entries to have regression in branding and have reached out to them again.
