DataSketches
DataSketches is an open source, high-performance library of stochastic
streaming algorithms commonly called "sketches" in the data sciences. Sketches
are small, stateful programs that process massive data as a stream and can
provide approximate answers, with mathematical guarantees, to computationally
difficult queries orders-of-magnitude faster than traditional, exact methods.
DataSketches has been incubating since 2019-03-30.

MXNet
A Flexible and Efficient Library for Deep Learning
MXNet has been incubating since 2017-01-23.
Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:
1. Increase diversity in contributors, committers, and PMC members — NEAR COMPLETION.
2. Identify remaining ICLAs or SGAs that need signing – NEAR COMPLETION.
3. Revisit Apache Maturity Model Assessment — TODO
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
1. Community reached consensus on Gluon branding. In the context of the Gluon API in MXNet, it would be mentioned as MXNet Gluon. https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/af7dcb430e2cedf23d1531e79877e8bf2b40ec392e40853a2d7015da@%3Cdev.mxnet.apache.org%3E
2. Community addressed the IP/licensing issues discovered during previous releases. Updated status can be found here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MXNET/MXNet+Source+Licenses
3. MXNet has significant user presence in China that are worth optimizing for in terms of infrastructure. Setting up CDN in China requires ICP filing.
