Agenda

• Action Item Review
• WG Updates

Action Item Review

• Hyperledger Release Taxonomy v0.3 -- TSC to review and vote (Brian and Chris)
• Walked through document comments and resolved inside of google doc during the call
• ACTION:  Chris Ferris to pull together thoughts on snapshot release and circulate via email
• Hyperledger-py proposal, Baohua to share proposal with Community to try to bring a few more project sponsors to it, as well as work on naming of the project. (Baohua Yang)
• CF:  Hopefully people have had a chance to look, review, comment -- ready for approval, or do people want more time to review?  Any concerns?
• Baohua:  Have added 4 more sponsors to this proposal.
• ACTION:  Baohua to update the proposal to replace the discussion of REST/gRPC with language along the lines of “this SDK will follow the guidance of the SDK WG.”.
• ACTION:  Naming should be Fabric-sdk-py, not Hyperledger-py
• VOTE:  Unanimous approval.
• EU Hackathon/Hackfest preparation and updates (Todd)
• Hackfest, October 3-4: register now (agenda draft)
• Hackathon, October 1-2: register now
• wiki.hyperledger.org migration plan (Brian/Todd)
• Consensus was to test the wiki further over the next week and discussion migration in 9/15 call.
• Communication tools (Brian/Todd)
• Discourse instance is now up -- doing some final configuration and then will share with this group.
• Brian:  suggest people also take a look at https://demo.rocket.chat/home to see if this would be a suitable Slack-alternative.

Reminder/Update on Collaboration around Blockchain Explorer

• CF:  Blockchain Explorer project is up, added 3 maintainers; also put 2+2 rule on there.  Asked Ry to reduce to non-author core review (which means only 1 of maintainers needs to review and approve to merge) -- had to make this change, otherwise, we will wait forever to get code merged, instead of making progress.
