Announcements

  • 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.

Items of discussion

  • 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

Quarterly updates

  • 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
