Event Reminders

Schedule announced for Hyperledger Global Forum, December 12-15 (Basel, Switzerland)
Hackfest Agenda Planning
Discussion to add topics to agenda to prepare for upcoming Hackfest
Hyperledger Community Health WG discussion (continued)
Task force could potentially take problem statements from Community and then provide recommendations for the larger Community on how best to solve (i.e. GEO diversity)
Suggestion for a group of people to determine the types of metrics that would provide useful data (metrics just for the sake of metrics are not useful).
What is difference between WG and task force
Feedback on original concept was that if we include non-technical topics, we are stretching the original premise of a WG. But, there isn’t a definition of task force vs. WG.
Other WGs are focused on external deliverables, whereas this is focused more on internal health.
Brian noted that this is an evergreen topic, we know this needs to keep coming up; so, would lean towards WG.
Move discussion to mailing list re: structure of task force vs. WG.
Quarterly project update
Adrian provided the Hyperledger Quilt update
Are things getting better in terms of Committers that we pulled to other priorities?
Yes, but still struggle a bit with resources and would love to see other projects getting involved.
Scope?
Produce implementations of protocol stack for interledger protocol
People able to write an application that uses the protocol
Where are you with standardization effort of protocol?
Cleaning up the RFCs and documentation
Documented what they believe standards should be
Have not yet standardized within standardization bodies
Next week: Hyperledger Caliper update
Quarterly W updates
Mark provided the PSWG update and Metrics Document
Interesting problem of bringing things together into a single representation and an opportunity to characterize distinctiveness.
Suggestion made to standardize on a taxonomy.
Relationship between PSWG and Caliper? No formal relationship at the moment, but some info from Caliper is helping shape PSWG discussions.
VOTE on draft 1.0 of Metrics Document (amendments can come in 1.1 and beyond): Unanimously approved.
October 11th: Healthcare WG update
Bug Bounty discussion
Move discussion to mail thread.
Social Impact WG discussion
Please review this proposal, as well as more broadly the format and governance of non-technical WGs.
