Introduction to Learning Materials Working Group

The Learning Materials Development working group reports to the Hyperledger Technical Steering Committee. It is focused on 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.

Setting up a Task Force WGTF_Proposal 5

Proposal 5: A task-force will be required to create a "proposal" and the TSC must approve the proposal.  The proposal should, at a minimum, include the following information:

  1. Introduction/background material,  Task to be completed,   List of deliverable s or work products, Time to complete (no more than 6 months), Leader, Initial participant list
    Set up 2 task forces: 1) Keep TSC documentation Current 2) re-write Best Practice Badge requirements to include community readiness and Documentation. 


III. EdX Update / Discussion

  • EdX Updates: 
    • Opportunity to review Hyperledger Fabric Developer Exam

      Last chance! The Linux Foundation worked with Hyperledger Fabric Developer subject matter expert volunteers to identify the core domains and competencies for the Certified Hyperledger Fabric Developer (CHFD) exam, scheduled to launch in March 2020. Are you interested in participating in the Beta and receiving an early peek? The CHFD Beta is FREE for the first 100 who take the exam. Complete the CHFD Beta Sign-up Form by January 15, 2020 for your chance. If you pass you will be CHFD Certified!

    • Edx folks are storing Hyperledger course ware in different repo (BTA) that LMDWG does not have access
    • No updates on Technical course. Technical course is being edited by BLOCKCHAIN TRAINING ALLIANCE  so no need for us to evaluate.  Still waiting for 2.0 to develop a Fabric Tech guide. Steve remarked more courses will be rolled out Q1 2020
  • GitHub Repository -
    • Nathalie's Report. https://github.com/hyperledger/education
    • Ravi's Contribution Basic Fabric Functions https://github.com/ravinayag/fabric-samples-explained/blob/master/README.md
    • We have a repository that we can build out using existing materials from projects.
    • SUGGESTIONS: 
      • Archive old LMD Repository to automatically close out outstanding issue (years old) 
      • Set up new repo. for LMD with clear Rules and governance established prior to members supplying work. Define Governance, submission guidelines, Ownership, Maintainer, Project leads ( to encourage people to stay with projects.) Ravi has started a repo for the LMD working group dealing with organizing information for Scripts. To use to repo to examine what the scripts you need to run are for, how they work and why.  We will discuss next time how his work will fit into new Repository, Nathalie will email Traci to get the ball rolling.
