Discussion items

TimeItemWhoNotes
30minAn in-depth discussion about build system and testing.

Maintainers

Concerns with too many components in the sample example Catcus connectors. The proposed solution discussed is to separate out the sample example to its own git branch rather than include it with the main branch.     Peter Somogyvari plans to add PR to research the separation. 

10min Privacy-preserving discussion.  Hart, Avradip

 Privacy-preserving discussion and what it means for the individual blockchains and what it means for Cactus. Peter SomogyvariPR for design plumbing and Peter Somogyvari PR for implementation

Hart, Avradip, and Arnab will tackle the design.
