WG Charters
Requirements WG (Oleg)
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.
