Action Item Review

• Hackfest/Hackathon readout from EU (Chris) and ongoing planning (Todd)

  • Held a Hackathon (competition style with prizes) and a Hackfest (working on Hyperledger codebase, help onboard new people, architectural issues, etc.) in Amsterdam this last week, hosted by ABN AMRO

  • Hackathon -- 20 teams of 5-6 each.  12 “geniuses” from HLP technical community, judges including Brian/Chris.  36 hour event.

  • Applications ranging from mobile voting app, healthcare records, insurance for delayed flights, fintech,etc.

  • Use cases here

  • CF:  would be useful to develop “Hackathon in a box”

  • Mic:  talked about having a public test network up -- would be great to have a place to showcase the best applications that come out of these

  • Hackfest -- roughly 60 attended.  Saw some new participants F2F (SWIFT, Accenture, CLS, Santander, etc.), as well as some more people to STL

  • December -- hold a Hackfest?  Should it be in New York?

    • General consensus was that New York on December 5th & 6th in advance of Members Summit is doable.  Todd to look for space and connect back up with TSC before confirming anything.

• Chris Ferris to pull together thoughts on snapshot release in Hyperledger Release Taxonomy v0.4 and circulate via email

  • VOTE:  Unanimously approved

• Finalize wiki.hyperledger.org migration plan in 10/6 TSC call

  • Update since TSC call:  plugins have been installed

  • No major objections at this point, start migration early next week.  Need to lock Github wiki prior to migration.

  • Plan to leave the pages that Georg has migrated to Dokuwiki and continue to build from there.

  • Todd to migrate TSC info, WG owners to migrate their own info.

• Communication Tools (Brian/Todd) - pushed to next week

• Numbering scheme for HIP (Vipin) - pushed to next week
