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
  • https://github.com/hyperledger/indy-sdk/pull/2329
• 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.
