Event Reminders


Hyperledger Community Health WG discussion

  • Tracy talked through revised proposed Charter

  • Discussion ensued leading to the outcome to create a Lab (with Vipin as the sponsor); also, withdraw as WG, but create a task force that tackles specific items that come out of TSC


Quarterly project update

  • Pardha provided the Hyperledger Explorer update

    • Is there interest from Explorer for tackling new problems outside context of Explorer like interoperability?

      • Yes, started looking into Fabric for SDK and chaincode… trying to get back to contributing there.

      • Interop is a hard problem -- trying to define our interest.

    • There might be things that underlie all platforms; maybe some common libraries.  Or, top down… where Explorer is an example of a tool that can call into any of the stacks.  Or third, something that is more integration (like Quilt), but not specifically for financial transactions

    • Working on interop paper from Arch WG and working on a bunch of primitives that would enhance interop (please have Explorer community listen in and contribute)

    • Last time it was suggested for Explorer to provide official Docker image -- how is it going?

      • Available, but may not be posted officially.  But, it is complete. Will double-check.

  • Next week:  Hyperledger Quilt update


Quarterly WG updates

  • Vipin provided the Identity WG update

    • Suggestion to do something at Hackfest in Montreal.

    • What do you foresee that the Community will get out of the paper?

      • Something like a complete survey of the different identity activities, specifically targeted at problems and DLTs in general; and also a window into how we are solving those problems.

    • Next week:  PSWG update


Project and WG updates - format discussion

  • Make sure that we get out of these updates what we originally intended.  Can we get deeper discussion on these topics if we:

    • Look back at previous reports -- are issues being addressed, are new issues being raised

    • Are we pre-reading status reports?  If we get these on Monday, then we can review and arrive with informed questions.

  • For Quilt and PSWG -- get updates in Monday to give everyone a chance to review them before Thursday.

  • Comment that ASF has a monthly call where they review 30 at a time… they check their agenda into version control (like wiki) and before the meeting the Board members review those reports (and put +1) and then get on phone call to talk, they only talk through exceptional issues or key questions.


Bug Bounty discussion

  • To be discussed next week.
