Action Item Review

• Hackfest planning
• East Coast, week of April 24th (venue/city pending)
• Beijing, June TBD
• If you have venue space, please contact Todd Benzies tbenzies@linuxfoundation.org
• WG Charters
• Requirements WG (Oleg)
• Draft
• Requirements WG meeting on March 6th to finalize, the to TSC on March 9th to approve
• Brian B:  re: disbanding note… see the need for this WG to be ongoing, there will always be new use cases worth considering, new releases worth mapping to those use cases.
• CF:  re: collaboration -- need a way to engage Requirements WG with some industry-specific WGs, like Healthcare.
• DM:  Near outset of Hyperledger, there was some reluctance from a few to share info within this WG as it was seen as valuable IP within some companies, we should work to continue to move the needle on this perception.
• Vipin:  There has been movement in this direction.  Suggest also adding to the use cases some actual implementations to showcase the round-trip phenomenon.
• slack-archive repo
• No objections to archiving the Slack.  Ry to drive the process.
• Internship Program
• The subgroup met on February 28th and recommends the following 6 mentors/proposals
• Deploy Fabric on Kubernetes Using Cello, Feihu Jiang, Huawei
• Contract-based Business Process Execution / Hyperledger as a business process execution engine, László Gönczy, Budapest University of Technology and Economics
• Anonymous Transactions in Iroha, Makoto Takemiya and Bogdan Vaneev, Soramitsu
• Preserving Privacy with Sawtooth Lake, Dan Middleton, Intel
• Design and Implement Blockchain Clustering Platform for Hyperledger, Baohua Yang and Haitao Yue, IBM China
• Publish, Document, and Maintain a Distribution Agnostic Build Script, Mark Wagner, Red Hat
• No objections -- ok to move forward with these 6.
• Request to exit Incubation status for Hyperledger Fabric (here)
• Note:  this isn’t about getting to 1.0, this is about maturity of “project,” not “product.“  That said, getting ready to cut an alpha this month.
• Q:  What is the scope of Fabric?  Does it include chaintool or Node-SDK, for example?
• CF:  From an alignment perspective, all Fabric-** are aligned in getting to 1.0.
• Q:  What is ongoing role for IBM?  If IBM left would Fabric continue?
• CF:  Year 1 goal was to get IBM under 50% of contributors (55% currently).  Today, positive sign of seeing more sustained contributors (non-IBM). Ideally need to get down long-term number below 30% and get others more involved in Fabric.  In addition, of the IBM contributions, they come from multiple teams within IBM (not just one silo).
• VOTE:  Unanimously approved.
• GSL Discussion (Tamas Blummer)
• Recording
