Resources:


Agenda

  • WG Discussion
  • New project repo for fabric membership services called CAF (Keith Smith)


WG Updates

  • Requesting for all WG leads (or WGs) to provide more frequent updates back to the TSC (via email/wiki/Discourse) so that the progress is transparent and accessible to the broader technical community.
  • If there are more pressing updates, those can be put onto the TSC agenda for discussion, otherwise more frequent updates via email/Discourse and posting minutes to wiki will really help the entire technical community.
  • Not trying to create extra work, really just want  the TSC to take a look at charter and distro of WGs to make sure it is working for everyone and folks have a pathway to engage.
  • There were no objections.


[please send over via email]


New project repo for fabric membership services called CAF (Keith Smith)

  • recording
  • A question was raised as to why this is being proposed as a standalone proposal for incubation, as opposed to repo that is Fabric-specific.
  • Discussion ensued leading to the outcome that this can be put into a separate repo while things progress with Fabric, and once it pivots to being more generally useful (i.e. STL, Iroha, etc.) then it could come back to the TSC as a proposal for incubation.
  • No objections.


Sawtooth Lake update (Dan Middleton)

  • Validator registry or endpoint registry work -- specifically towards adding validator nodes and permissioning policies to grant another system into the network.
  • Started a significant redesign of how handling transaction families, both from client-side submission of transactions as well as how those are handled under hood.  Got Python SDK project underway.
  • This is allowing us to carve out better process boundaries, can actually operate separate processes within validator, allow us to also support creating transaction families in other languages.
  • Creating Java-SDK
  • Once patterns established, can try to set up more separate projects to address some of the languages that are also popular
  • Continuing to work with Explorer project


Actions/On-going

  • December Hackfest preparation
  • Communication Tools
