Durée du webinar
Présentation: 30 minutes
Q/A: 15 minutes

------ Description ------

Lors de cette réunion, nous allons découvrir comment l'architecture modulable de consensus d'Hyperldeger Fabric peut utiliser le consensus de Hedera Hashgraph. Hedera Hashgraph est un réseau distribué publique qui est rapide, juste et sécurisé, ce qui peut apporter plus de débit, sécurité et confiance à Hyperledger Fabric. Voilà, j'espère que cela te convient, n'hésite pas à faire quelques modifs si nécessaire

 4. New Projects 

Neferti is a proposal for a project in Hyperledger labs. Re: NEFERTI
Hyperledger labs is an open source code community with a low barrier to entry. Any and all are welcome to join and contribute to the lab. The lab maintainers will be the governors. neferti plans a low-code and highly secure implementation to issue and trade NFTs, in a protocol agnostic way. neferti code will address market place utilities for issuance and trading of NFTs. neferti implementation will allow for extensibility and openness. An initial reference Hyperledger Fabric implementation is planned.

Reducing Methane Leakage and Flaring through Supply Chain Tokens-While the world tries to avert the worst of climate change, most scenarios still show the oil and gas industry remaining a significant part of the global energy system for several decades to come.  During this transition, however, we must do everything possible to reduce the climate impact from continued use of fossil fuels. 

A top priority is to reduce the amount of methane that is leaked and flared during the production of oil and natural gas. Methane trapped in the geological formations of oil and gas wells is often disposed of as a safety measure, but also leaked or vented to the atmosphere when infrastructure is not available to gather, process and distribute it as natural gas for a profit. This is typical in remote and undeveloped areas (the highest rates are observed in Africa, Figure 1) where methane is burned (flared) and converted into Carbon Dioxide (CO₂), or worse, vented or leaked. 

5.  TASK Force:

 Hyperledger Security Process Task Force.:  Recurring meetings for the task force starting 28th January 2022, 8:00 AM PDT. A meeting invite will be sent to both the TSC and the maintainers mailing lists.
The upcoming meeting and the agenda details can be found at https://wiki.hyperledger.org/display/TF/2022-01-28+Meeting+Minutes All ideas are welcome, do read through the CVSS calculation matrix.

Hyperledger Chat Task Force: The Hyperledger TSC voted to move from Rocket Chat to Discord.

5. Hyperledger Community 

Hyperledger Foundation Names Hart Montgomery As Chief Technology Officer-Hyperledger Foundation, the open, global ecosystem for enterprise blockchain technologies, today announced that Hart Montgomery has joined the organization as its Chief Technology Officer. In this new role, he will be the technical leader for Hyperledger Foundation, ensuring the health and transparency of the development community and all its projects. A long-time member of the Hyperledger Technical Steering committee and contributor to multiple projects and labs, Montgomery is deeply knowledgeable about the technology, marketplace and community. He will be key to scaling the growing pipeline of Hyperledger projects and maximizing the open source model to deliver the next generation of enterprise blockchain technologies. 

        Hyperledger Challenge Overview

The Hyperledger community is launching the Hyperledger Challenge to harness the power of communities to ideate, develop, and launch innovative solutions developed using open-source technologies. Any innovation that advances the current state-of-the-art of enterprise-grade distributed ledger technologies leveraging one or more Hyperledger projects is eligible for the Hyperledger Challenge.   Please join us for the Hyperledger Challenge 2022 Kick Off Informational Session, Thursday, February 24th, 11am MST.

The Challenge will feature three rounds, called “Ideate”, “Prototype”, and “Launch”, to develop innovations from idea to sustainable solutions in the manner of months. Innovators competing in the challenges will have access to training, mentors and the Hyperledger community to support the development of their solution. The Hyperledger community is committed to be a driving force to incorporating Diversity, Civility, and Inclusion into programs. Innovators are greatly encouraged to consider diversity and inclusion when developing their teams.

                       a. 2022 Hyperledger Mentorship Program             

        This is the 6th year of the Hyperledger Mentorship Program. The program has grown steadily over the years; it has connected many mentors and mentees from around the globe to contribute their enthusiasm, time, and experience toward building a more sustainable Hyperledger community. You can learn more about the growth of this program and previous year's mentees' contributions and mentors' reflections by reading some of our blog posts:

•  2019 summary blog along with individual mentees' closing blogs   

• a reflection blog by Attila Klenik, a mentor in 2019, along with mentees' closing blogs

• 2020 mentors' sharing what's important, rewarding and challenging about their work

• 10 things to know about Hyperledger Mentorship Program

• 2021 mentorship spotlights highlighting contributions by and reflections of mentors and mentees

Hyperledger and the whole Linux Foundation are big believers in the value of mentorship in growing open source communities. And we have heard from many contributors that mentorship played an important role in their involvement in an open source project/community. Now it's your opportunity to give back and get involved in this rewarding experience.

• Please submit a project proposal for consideration by Wednesday, March 9th. 

• Please reference the 2022 program timeline as you plan out your project and commitment.

• Please review the project proposal guidelines before your submit your proposal

Hyperledger looks forward to your submission of a mentorship project and thank you in advance for volunteering your time to contribute to the training of the new talent pool for the Hyperledger community.

Please reach out to mentorship@hyperledger.org if you have any questions.
