To promote Caffe to a wider range of academic audiences and make it more usable to the researchers without much knowledge in deep learning or C++ programming, I suggest Caffe doing so.

Call for the Open Source Software Competition

Overview The ACM Multimedia Open-Source Software Competition is designed to promote the contribution of freely available resources such as codecs, middleware, frameworks, toolkits, libraries, applications, and other multimedia software. These resources advance the field by providing a common set of tools for building and improving multimedia research prototypes. The use of these tools also allows others to replicate research results more easily.

To qualify, the software must be provided with source code and licensed in such a manner that it can be used free of charge in academic and research settings. As part of the review process, the software will be built from the sources. All source code, license, installation instructions, and other documentation must be available on a public web page. License compatibility with other open source software is encouraged. Dependencies on non-open source third-party software are discouraged, with the exception of operating systems and freely available commercial packages.

Authors are encouraged to prepare as much documentation as possible, including examples of how the provided software might be used, existing prototypes that use the software, download statistics or other public usage information. Entries will be selected for inclusion in the conference program based on peer-review. The criteria for judging submissions include broad applicability and potential impact, novelty, technical depth, demo suitability, and other miscellaneous factors (e.g., maturity, popularity, compatibility with commonly used programming languages, no dependence on closed source, etc.)

Authors of selected entries will be invited to present and demonstrate their software as part of the regular conference program. In addition, accepted overview papers will be included in the conference proceedings. An overall winning entry, as judged by reviewers and the program committee, will be recognized formally at ACM Multimedia 2014.

Important dates Open Source Software Submission Deadline: May 19, 2014, at 11:59pm PDT (UTC-7) Notification of Acceptance: July 7, 2014 Camera-ready Submission Deadline: August 11, 2014

Thanks for the suggestion @kloudkl! We will definitely do this later in the Spring.

Please also let the whole community contribute as much as possible when you decide to take actions.

I just found the new tag acm-mm-oss and wish Caffe could be the winner of the competition.

Caffe is the winner of the ACM MM 2014 Open Source Award!

The BVLC Caffe crew would like to thank the Caffe community and contributors for making this project an open collaboration and exciting place to discuss the research and engineering of deep learning.
