Over the past quarter, the SI-SIG completed two essential activities; developing a community survey and electing a new Chair. The community survey, initiated in July, focused on determining the activities that the greater SI-SIG community identifies as areas of interest to support and to build out community eminence. The survey results will be used to drive activities across the SI-SIG community over the next year. As per the results of the community survey, we have developed workstream groups (Whitepaper, Use Case and Best Practices, and Community Liaisons) to facilitate community interactions. The workstream groups have a membership community and we will be identifying workstream leaders as projects are identified and take-off. Another point of activity, was the Chair elections that were initiated and processed over the past quarter. In early September, the new Chair Nancy Min was announced and a smooth transition process ensued, made possible by the Hyperledger POC Karen Ottoni.
Activities across the community of merit include the following:
- Hyperledger Hackathon team that was supported by Hyperledger to attend the “Scaling Impact for the SDGs Hackathon” that took place in New York City between September 21-22. The team (Lindsay Nuon, Matt Steele, James Waugh, and Alejandro Pinto) took home three awards: (1) first place and (2) second place awards.
- The SI-SIG supported two applications (submissions by Lindsay Nuon and Jim Cupples) to the Hyperledger Global Forum Call for Proposal that will be held March 3-6, 2020.
