Announcements

Items of discussion

Maintainer Summit Outreach from TSC members
- Scheduled for October this year.
- Would like to make sure that each project is reached out to and invited to attend.
- The space has room for 40 people and we have 50 people on the list. We should probably be able to fill the space.
Gardener Proposal
- A blockchain oracle that seeks to be secure and trustworthy.
- This allows blockchains to access external data.
- Currently integrates with ethereum only but there is an abstraction that allows for integration in other blockchains.
- Current supported use cases:
  - Accessing data via URL API.
  - Generating a random number.
- Uses Intel SGX to secure the implementation.
- There's potential overlap with TCF project and maybe the teams should meet and figure out if there is a path forward with cooperating/merging.
- Any overlap analysis with regards to verifiable credentials? Not at the moment, but it would be interesting.
- Does Garderner support a decentralized oracle service similar to the way that Indy works?
  - There are several approaches but currently none are implemented.
Hyperledger Besu Proposal
- An open source ethereum client written in Java.
- Launched last year at devcon.
- Strong statements of support from TSC members.
- Consensys' goal is to grow contributor list and to be an engaged member of the Hyperledger community.
- What would be a good place to start for Besu to integrate with an existing HL project(s)?
  - There's lots of opportunities to collaborate with Quilt and Burrow.
  - Confidence that more collaborations with other projects make sense as well.
- What about Besu use as an EVM?
  - It's not intended to be an alternative EVM but it does bring some different features.
  - The use of Java is not an issue because the interop is usually done at higher levels so cross-language support is not a problem.
  - Having a bunch of different languages used in Hyperledger provides a broader opportunity for more developers to contribute.
- Is eWASM in scope for Besu? If it is in scope, is there an integration hook that would allow Transact to work with Besu?
  - Currently eWASM doesn't have a final version and won't be in EVM 1.x.
  - If it becomes part of ethereum then Besu will probably pick it up, but currently it isn't ready yet.

Quarterly updates

Grid
- No issues currently.
- Trying to figure out how to run sprints with a wide distribution of contributors and settled on JIRA which is working out great.
- Added to the governance including a GS1 sub-team which include members from Target and GS1.
- The PSWG will probably reach out to the GS1 sub-team soon so that benchmark tools can be developed to give performance feedback to the project.
Transact
TWGC
- Overall, the working group is pretty active. ~40 attendees to each bi-weekly meeting.
- One issue with translating the docs and they have reached out to the Fabric maintainers to fix the issue once they move to Github. TransFx seems like a good solution.
- Hosted six meetups in the last quarter along with one online-only meetup.
  - ~50 attendees for the online-only meetup. The virtual meetups are easier for getting presence in China.
- On track with more meetups and mentoring Chinese developers on how to bring their projects to the HL community.
