  • Kevin O'Donnell - long-running testing
  • we need a solid description of the toolchain in use by the projects (docker, docker-compose, etc.)
  • James Barry will scan the available documentation and media for mentions of the RAFT consensus to identify what needs to be touched when we deprecate/decommission it
  • Mark Carroll (Deactivated)  - In order to get ahead of the types of questions we are getting on #sawtooth, Mark will review the documentation for the setups of the various "getting started" and identify the gaps

  • Ryan Roberts - check the impact of incorporating/enhancing sawtooth-sdk-with the tokio+TMQ version

    • ACTION: Kevin O'Donnell , Mark Carroll - to do the TOC update PR

Maintainer list

  • the maintainer qualification rules need a refresh, we'll need to wait until Shawn Amundson comes back from vacation to do that
  • we should do a poll of existing but idle maintainers to see if they would like to get back involved. Otherwise, inactive maintainers should be moved to an Emeritus section of the maintainer list to recognize their contribution while being clear about the active maintainers
  • Ry Jones

Toolchain

  • the principal issue driving the toolchain stuff is the confusion around docker-compose v1 and v2
    • v1 and v2 have slightly different YAML parsing that shows up in awkward places
    • container ids are different between v1 and v2
    • Where possible/necessary we should update the YAML `version` fields in the various docker-compose files which either behave identically regardless of the binary version used OR have versions which demand one or the other docker-compose releases (either too high for v1 or too low for v2)
    • Switching to docker-compose v2 everywhere will require a thorough going through of the various test setups in all the projects

Documentation

SDK

  • ACTION: Ryan Roberts - will publish the alternate tokio+tmq implementation for discussion ASAP
  • ACTION: Ryan Robers, et al - will open a PR converting the existing sawtooth SDK to use `prost`

Github Issues

  • ACTION: discuss labels for issues if any are missing
  • ACTION: various - we will review/triage all the issues, and label them
