• Meetings: wiki.hyperledger.org/community/calendar-public-meetings

• Maintainer Summit October 8-10, 2019 Minneapolis, MN, USA

  • It's an experiment to see what works well for getting the core maintainers together to address HL-wide development issues.

  • DevCon is the same time as this summit but it's a reasonable trade off.

  • The space has room for about 40 people. The maintainers list is about 50 people.

• Russia Bootcamp in Moscow Oct 14, 15 2019 (get your Visas Now!)

  • Co-planning with the team in Russia.

  • There's a new checklist under planning docs for the bootcamp in a box initiative that covers all of the logistics of setting up and running a regional bootcamp.

• Wiki structure discussion

  • Visibility of what's happening on the wiki is not as good as it could be.

  • Is there a way to publish the most interesting thing that is coming up in a more visible way?

  • Subscribing to entire spaces is the best way to watch what is going on in whole areas of the wiki.

• Project Pipeline direction

  • Discuss trade-offs in convergence and expansion

  • What set of guidelines do we have for how many projects we want to bring in and when do we retire some

  • The charter calls out for a DLT and not a whole bunch of them.

  • A good approach may be that the TSC does a gap analysis and strives to have projects to cover all of the different different areas of technology.

  • Our efforts on convergence haven't been as successful as we had hoped.

  • Are we going to limit each area of technology to a single implementation?

    • If we only take whomever was first then we could have problems of taking the wrong project just because they were first.

• Project Lifecycle Task Force

• 2019 Q3 Hyperledger Quilt

  • Ripple is increasing investment into interledger java more broadly and the desire is to do that work within the Quilt project.

  • The primary focus is on interledger and the reboot is not broadening the scope of Quilt.

  • There's hope that other projects will look into integrating with Quilt as well.

  • Are there any revisions to the ILP protocol or is finalized?

    • ILPv4 is solid with no changes coming. The higher level protocols defined by the interledger community are still a little in flux.

• 2019 Q3 Hyperledger Cello

  • Meeting Friday night Beijing time and routinely have 10 or more participants.

  • Lots of improvements going in and the community is growing in China.

  • Cello needs to be CII compliant.

• PSWG

  • Had a speaker in talking about Fast Fabric

  • Had another speaker talking about Accelerator

  • There's a lot of work going on in the community focused on improving performance of DLTs

  • Vipin wrote a great paper on provenance

  • Nick from IBM has done some work testing for bottlenecks in Fabric using Caliper to look at CPU/memory utilization instead of TPS type of stats

  • Looking at how to integrate Confluence with Caliper output so that we could publish Caliper test results more easily

• Grid

• Transact

• China TWG

• Github/Jira/Confluence integration to enable Open Planning and Ambassador program (Silona - TBD)

• Working Group Structure (@Mic Bowman - Date TBD)

• Project Lifecycle Committee Report (@Arnaud J LE HORS - Date TBD)

• Project Pipeline Direction

• Centralized decision record

• Gardener
