[reminder] TSC annual elections will begin in early August (more details to come)

Hackfest Planning (Brian Behlendorf & Todd Benzies)

  • Quick discussion on overall Hackfest strategy and value
    • Cadence may be better at quarterly vs. every two months (easier on travel budgets)
    • Consider scheduling talks all morning, and then leave afternoons open for hacking.  Recently Hackfest have been more conference-like, as opposed to hacking.
    • Get folks from different projects to talk with each other more.
    • Consider having time for prepared presentations, time for ramping new participants, and time for experienced hacking.
  • US:  9/14 & 9/15 _or_ 9/21 & 9/22 -- looking at Chicago (unless any East Coast venue space arises)
  • Europe:  http://doodle.com/poll/39za7hz3i98k8esb


Security Code Reviews and Bug Bounties (Brian Behlendorf & Dave Huseby)


Third party dependency licenses (Brian Behlendorf & Tracy Kuhrt)

  • https://lists.hyperledger.org/pipermail/hyperledger-tsc/2017-July/000953.html
  • Tracy:  The scans that have been conducted have been done against the source code that has been checked in to either Gerrit or Github. The scans do not include any third-party dependencies that are not included in the source repositories. The project developers will be responsible for making sure that any third-party dependencies that are linked into the code base are also compliant with the IP policy defined in the Hyperledger Charter.
  • Please continue discussion on the mailing list (per thread above)


Project reporting (Tracy Kuhrt)

  • https://lists.hyperledger.org/pipermail/hyperledger-tsc/2017-July/000951.html
  • Brian:  There is a mandatory technical governance and oversight role that has to happen somewhere in Hyperledger -- this sense of ownership is critical.
  • Concern around status report for sake of status report vs. status report for evaluating health of project.  
  • Understand not wanting to create extra work for nothing -- but, the template that gets created should allow an active maintainer to be able to respond in 30 minutes or less.  This ambient awareness is critical for others.
  • ACTION:  Tracy/Brian to bring a proposal back to TSC to review, discuss, and vote on.
