Working Group

The Learning Materials and Working Group goal is developing open source training material (licensed as specified by the Hyperledger Charter) to educate people interested in expanding their knowledge of Hyperledger and its projects. The working group will consult with other Hyperledger working groups, Hyperledger team members, and the project maintainers to identify training needs and develop strategies, as well as, material to address those needs. The output of this working group will be targeted towards both technical and non-technical audiences.

1. Membership - Increasing membership is our focus, our calls typically have 5- 6 individuals. We hope for increased traffic to our wiki page after the community spotlight on the Working Group. We have redesigned the Wiki home page to make on boarding easier. With guides to explain "Getting Linux login, Joining calls, setting up Wiki Pages and sponsoring a task we have created a user friendly environment for on boarding new members. We created a survey for the members of the LMDWG in an attempt to generate interest and better understand membership demographics.
2. Resource Library - the LMDWG has a goal to collect community documentation and create a Resource Library to house all community documentation. The Resources Library can serve as a portal for people interested in learning more about Hyperledger or for those involved in a project to easily find documentation. This will serve as a location for community members to access templates and graphics for developing projects as well as a place to store these final documentation projects.  We are currently working on the USE CASE template and have completed the white paper template.
3. Survey: An opportunity exists to Survey the projects, working groups and special interest groups to determine a contact person, get list of current learning materials created and gain an understanding of the future documentation needs. Would like to add polling questions from TSC and have the LMDWG manage the polling process.
4. Best Practices for documentation Developing Standard /  Best Practices Badges  for all Learning Materials. The Marketing department has a call on 9/11 that should give us information that will help in develop standards for documentation.
5. Glossary: Creating KEY TERMINOLOGY to be used in all documentation. Creating common definition for the community to use when creating learning materials and documentation.  We are in the process of gathering current community definitions and compiling them on a wiki page where we will come up with the community dictionary (approved by TSC before publishing). 
6. Graphics - The LMDWG has a unique situation to supply the community with standards for graphics and logos that is easily shared for creating documentation. To satisfy the numerous requests by the community we created a wiki page ( under development) to access approved graphics. We hope to gain information from the marketing department.
7. EdX Update - The LMDWG edited the LFS171X course,"Hyperledger - Blockchain for Business" was during the summer for the July release date. We set up a wiki page to manage the EDX courses we edit and specifically  for the LFS171x. We are looking forward to  the Sawtooth application courses and the Indy-Aries-Urse (IAU) course this fall. 
8. Github Update  : we have no information on the EDUCATION repository on github. The current directory holds outdated information and it needs to be updated. We have a new resource on our team (Ravi) who is interested in this project but we need direction and a goal for the GITHUB repositories.
