Announcements
- The Hyperledger /dev/weekly developer newsletter goes out each Friday to hundreds of Hyperledger developers. It is a collaborative effort. If you have a project release, pull request, community event, and/or relevant article you would like highlighted next week, please leave a comment for consideration on the upcoming newsletter wiki page.
- The Hyperledger Challenge 2022 is looking for mentors across a wide array of areas to support the innovators competing in the Hyperledger Challenge. If you have expertise with any of the Hyperledger projects and want to be a mentor, let us know.
- The 2022 mentorship program is launching on February 1st starting with the call for mentors and projects. Hyperledger and the whole Linux Foundation are big believers in the value of mentorship in growing open source communities. We invite TSC members, maintainers, active contributors and community members to get involved in this initiative. Please email mentorship@hyperledger.org if you have questions.

Discussion
- Project and Lab Services – What other benefits can we offer to graduated projects?
- Thoughts from David Boswell:
I think there is probably something around documentation and translation support for graduated projects that would be worth doing. For instance CNCF has a budget for documentation support and they do things such as creating documentation assessments and recommendations for projects, helping to organize documentation and translation activities in the community (such as managing participation in Google's Season of Docs and running a docuthon at their main events), and will do some documentation/translation work directly to bootstrap efforts.
We could also make the resources available to Incubation projects time bound – for instance, an Incubation project could have a year to grow and mature and at the end of that time the TSC decides to either move it to Graduated or move it to the Labs.
The project placement on the Hyperledger site does not currently provide a distinction between Graduated and Incubation projects since they're treated the same way now. We're looking at updating the site this year to give more prominent positioning to Graduated projects, so the priority placement item will become more of an incentive.
The same is true of Workshops – this is a new concept so we have not yet seen the benefits to a project of running a workshop. After we've done a few of these we can analyze the outcome and if we can see a bump in users and contributors to a project after a workshop then this will become an incentive for Graduation status too.
- Thoughts from David Boswell:
- Proposal (Jim's followup action from discussions on Quarterly Reports 2 weeks ago): update templates of Quarterly Reports to include standard critical dimensions from LF Insights
- Sample report that has the proposed table of insights showing project health: 2021 Q4 Hyperledger FireFly
- Proposed critical insights dimensions: commit activities, PR activities, contributor trends
