We've created bounties for the Beta 2 release (which includes the service-based API)!
1. PostgreSQL runtime: develop a new, self-contained runtime exposing PostgreSQL database
2. Interactive image classifier: allow users to perform search queries over a corpus of documents submitted by the requestor during deployment.
3. Full-text search engine: a service that enables interaction with an image classifier and that allows its users to train the classifier on-line as well as submit images for classification

We’re sharing the GLM Rewards Program awardees for June. In this month's spotlight we have highlight custom runtimes and the modularity of Golem with the community Yagna CUDA runtime initiative.
https://blog.golemproject.net/glm-rewards-program-june-update/

Golem Stats for Yagna is a relatively new project in comparison to the beginning of the Golem Project. It's fast-paced development and the introduction of the Stats API has managed to grow it to be a useful tool and resource for the community. The Stats page is on course for 80 million API requests, since its inception, in the next few minutes (!), so we're sharing a timeline of how it's evolved since its inception.

We've just published a Golem Ansible role for setting up a provider on the network. Which essentially means that it will install and configure the provider for you automatically, minimizing configuration needed on your part.

For those who've never come across it before, Ansible is a tool that can automate cloud provisioning, configuration management, application deployment, intra-service.
