Announcements

Governance is a cornerstone for open source community management and, ultimately, code. For Hyperledger Foundation, technical governance is the job of the Technical Oversight Committee (TOC), which consists of 11 members of the technical contributor community elected annually by maintainers and Governing Board members. The 2024 TOC have, once again, chosen Accenture’s Tracy Kuhrt as chair and Arun SM as vice chair. Check out this recent blog post where Tracy and Arun share their take on why they think it’s important to be technical leaders in this community as well where they see opportunities and challenges for the year ahead.
