2018 Hackfest Planning
Dubai - go/no-go?
Agreement to not hold the event in April.
Try to hold a Hackfest in Asia prior to the June Hackfest in Amsterdam?
Needs further discussion.
A suggestion was made to also consider a 1-day Hackfest after Consensus in NY.
Hackfest format discussion
Some in favor of having a roadshow to get regional folks up the learning curve vs. and entirely separate event focused on cross-project collaboration and hacking (some in favor of keeping them piggy-backed -- more time at fewer, longer events... less time traveling to many shorter events)
Agreement that much more agenda structure and objectives planning needs to be completed in advance of the actual Hackfest, not in unconference format on the first morning.
June 27-29 | Amsterdam (registration | draft agenda)

Quarterly WG updates
None this week
Next week: Requirements WG update
Quarterly project updates
1.0 before leaving incubation
No current policy in place that Active status is required before a 1.0 release -- but, should this be added?
Concern that some of the smaller projects with smaller communities would be disadvantaged by requiring active status, even if they have a mature code base.
Comment that if code maturity is not required to exit incubation, then why is project maturity a requirement for 1.0 (they seem to be independent).
Concern that if an incubation project goes 1.0, it does send a signal to users that it will continue to exist, even if maintainers leave (so, maturity of the project community, process, etc. is important)
Comment that 1.0 triggers a lot of work from Marketing, security audit & license scanning, etc. and also gives some level of endorsement from Hyperledger (community maturity and active status is more desired)
Continue discussion via mailing list and rocket.chat -- will finalize in TSC call next week
