Hackfest Planning
- June 27-29 | Amsterdam (registration | draft agenda)
- October 3-4 | Montreal (registration coming soon)
Quarterly project updates
- Eugene Mininbaev provided the Hyperledger Iroha update
- Are there plans to integrate with other projects?
- No concrete plans yet, but either Composer or Explorer could be useful.
- What is the status of interaction with the rest of the Hyperledger Community?
- Have been using Telegram and Gitter, as such, missing things on rocket.chat -- TSC made the suggestion to stop using other channels and focus solely on the formal Hyperledger channels
- TSC made the recommendation to engage with Community more at Hackfests, via TSC call, WGs, etc.
- Have been publishing issues to try to attract new contributors -- open to help/advice on further growing the Iroha community.
- A comment made that it is import to have a diverse set of not only Contributors, but also Maintainers.
- A request was made for more input from Iroha into the Architecture WG -- let the WG know if there are any barriers to participation that can get resolved.
- The TSC reiterated that they and the Community are here to help -- want to get more cross-project collaboration, grow diversity of committers and maintainers, etc.
- Simon Stone provided the Hyperledger Composer update
- A question was raised about the license headers.
- Tracy has been running fossology scans -- many files didn’t have license headers -- so, going through to resolve all those.
- A question was raised about the security audit.
- Dave Huseby met with Nettitude yesterday, on track.
- A comment was made that contributor diversity appears to be going down -- let TSC and Community know how we can help.
- A comment was made that contribution does not always have to be code -- documentation, contributing to testing, etc. are all important.
- A suggestion was made to take a set of bugs in issue tracker and mark them with a special “bite sized” tag for good learning experiences to attract new devs.
- Next week: Hyperledger Indy update
Quarterly WG updates
- Nate DeNiro provided the Healthcare WG update
- 25-30 people have been attending calls.
- Healthcare WG was really helpful in prep for HIMSS in March with demos and talking in our booth
- A comment was made that there seems to be a struggle to define what the WG wants to achieve -- maybe revisit charter as a guiding principle.
- May 10th: Technical WG China update
Discussion: Public Sector WG
- Proposal
- Inclusive of social impact? Not likely, even though there is some grey area.
- Focus on usages, PoCs, Pilots? Or, also a role for informed policy? Want to stay away from anything that hints at lobbying.
- Please take discussion to mailing list -- we will revisit this topic next week.
