Meeting Topics

  • Progress on CI/CD to create a release "identical" to the current release – indy-node, indy-plenum, indy-crypto, token-plugin; sovrin-node

    • Kevin - tests are still failing in indy-plenum; now indy-node tests failing because of mismatched version in Github Actions

    • Wade - cleared out space/docker images on Jenkins build machines that enabled tests to run

  • Next release of indy-node per Richard

    • Evernym can help to get to 20.04 vs. 18.04

      • Should work on a 20.04 branch

    • Alexandr K - working on Jenkins pipeline; needs to ask others to start pipelines.  Work with Wade. 

  • Request for indy-sdk release - discussion of progress

    • Streamlining – building and deploying indy-node from scratch vs. from a more complete image.

    • Things are in good shape.  indy-node docker image issue fixed by Sergey.  Wade cleaned up a lot in the pipelines.

    • Expecting now the build to work and if so testing can start.

  • PR  to add a project status to Indy SDK

  • Upgrade testing pre-Sovrin release 

    • Issue – Network is in Evernym AWS infrastructure, but others cannot access it.

    • Several technical solutions are probably possible, but not clearly understood.

    • Evernym will give access to specific people (@Wade Barnes) to use the cluster for upcoming releases.

    • We need a long term solution.

  • Proposal to include fees transactions as part of Indy Core, which could be leveraged by a plugin

    • Simplifies maintaining Sovrin MainNet

    • Does not tie to a specific payment implementation

    • Would require a change to the Indy HIPE related to fees.

    • Would move a concept from the "Generic Indy Token HIPE" into core Indy.

    • No concerns with adding the concept of Fees, but ambivalence about whether it will be valuable in the short term.
