- WG Charters
- Requirements WG (Oleg)
- Draft
- Requirements WG meeting on March 6th to finalize, the to TSC on March 9th to approve
- Brian B: re: disbanding note… see the need for this WG to be ongoing, there will always be new use cases worth considering, new releases worth mapping to those use cases.
- CF: re: collaboration -- need a way to engage Requirements WG with some industry-specific WGs, like Healthcare.
- DM: Near outset of Hyperledger, there was some reluctance from a few to share info within this WG as it was seen as valuable IP within some companies, we should work to continue to move the needle on this perception.
- Vipin: There has been movement in this direction. Suggest also adding to the use cases some actual implementations to showcase the round-trip phenomenon.
- slack-archive repo
- No objections to archiving the Slack. Ry to drive the process.
- Internship Program
- The subgroup met on February 28th and recommends the following 6 mentors/proposals
- Deploy Fabric on Kubernetes Using Cello, Feihu Jiang, Huawei
- Contract-based Business Process Execution / Hyperledger as a business process execution engine, László Gönczy, Budapest University of Technology and Economics
- Anonymous Transactions in Iroha, Makoto Takemiya and Bogdan Vaneev, Soramitsu
- Preserving Privacy with Sawtooth Lake, Dan Middleton, Intel
- Design and Implement Blockchain Clustering Platform for Hyperledger, Baohua Yang and Haitao Yue, IBM China
- Publish, Document, and Maintain a Distribution Agnostic Build Script, Mark Wagner, Red Hat
- No objections -- ok to move forward with these 6.
- Request to exit Incubation status for Hyperledger Fabric (here)
- Note: this isn’t about getting to 1.0, this is about maturity of “project,” not “product.“ That said, getting ready to cut an alpha this month.
- Q: What is the scope of Fabric? Does it include chaintool or Node-SDK, for example?
- CF: From an alignment perspective, all Fabric-** are aligned in getting to 1.0.
- Q: What is ongoing role for IBM? If IBM left would Fabric continue?
- CF: Year 1 goal was to get IBM under 50% of contributors (55% currently). Today, positive sign of seeing more sustained contributors (non-IBM). Ideally need to get down long-term number below 30% and get others more involved in Fabric. In addition, of the IBM contributions, they come from multiple teams within IBM (not just one silo).
- VOTE: Unanimously approved.
- GSL Discussion (Tamas Blummer)
