Also, it seems the initial starting team is already large enough for ensuring support for 1 or 2 release cycle.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><div> </div></div></div></blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><div><br></div><div>Please commit your schedule in the doodle poll here: <a href="http://doodle.com/drrka5tgbwpbfbxy" target="_blank">http://doodle.com/drrka5tgbwpbfbxy</a></div><div><br></div><div>Initial core team: Steven Dake, Aparupa Das Gupa, Debo~ Dutta, Johnu George, Kyle Mestery, Sarvesh Ranjan, Ralf Rantzau, Komei Shimamura, Marc Solanas, Manoj Sharma, Yathi Udupi, Kai Zhang.</div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Hey!

Most data driven applications today use Machine Learning (ML). This often requires application developers and data scientists to write their own machine learning stack or deploy other packages to do any kind of data science based applications. Data scientists also need to have an easy way to rapidly experiment with data without having to write basic infrastructure for data manipulations. Cognitive is a Machine Learning service on top of OpenStack and provides machine learning based services to tenants (API, workbench, compute service).</div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I wonder what kind of services you would offer; also you could have shared something about the architecture of this service. Is it providing a full machine learning stack, or just facilitating the use of existing one?</div><div><br></div><div>But I see that there's a link to a wiki page below.
