...

• Gain proficiency in using GitLab as a version control and collaboration platform.
• Learn how to migrate a project from GitHub to GitLab, including the process of converting the architecture into executable code.
• Develop hands-on experience using with Hyperledger Aries , Ursa, and Indy, which are blockchain technologies relevant to the projectalong with adopting the Hyperledger AnonCreds specification.
• Build skills in Shell Scripting and RUST, which are programming languages utilized in the project.
• Develop an Deepen understanding of open-source contribution, documentation, and ownership by contributing to the project and potentially contributing to through active project involvement and potential contributions to related articles, blog posts, or white papers related to the project.

Expected Outcome and Deliverables

• Enhance the existing command-line utility to automate the process of creating a DID Registry creation for the organization members of organizations using GitLab Verifiable Credential RegistryVCR, incorporating Hyperledger AnonCreds specification for added security and interoperability.
• Implement the functionalities of onboarding members to the registry and managing access to DID's through adding, updating, and revoking access.
• Create high-quality markdown tutorial documentation and Swagger API documentation that is easy to understand and use for future contributors.
• Present the completed work at Hyperledger forums, demonstrating a deep understanding of the project's architecture and functionality.

Relation to Hyperledger and Impact on the community

Employing GitHub/GitLab-based DID registries that can be used by Hyperledger Ursa, Hyperledger Aries, or any other Hyperledger Framework that needs to interact with DID Registriescompatible with Hyperledger Aries and adopting Hyperledger AnonCreds, our project aims to enhance community interoperability and utility across Hyperledger frameworks.

Mentee Open Source Contribution Experience

We are looking for a mentee who has prior experience in making open source contributions, preferably with at least one resolved open source issue in their portfolio.

Recommended Skills

We are looking for mentees who bring a blend of academic background, technical skills, and open-source contribution experience:

• Graduate or master's students

...

• with a focus on software development or related fields.
• Knowledge of decentralized identity concepts and familiarity with Hyperledger frameworks, specifically Aries and AnonCreds.

• Proficiency in Shell Scripting and Rust programming languages.

• It's better to have a history of contributing to open-source projects, ideally demonstrated by at least one resolved issue. We value mentees who have a strong interest in and experience with open-source contributions, particularly within the Hyperledger ecosystem.

Future plans

Our goal is We plan to elevate DRMan's capabilities to manage a functionality for comprehensive DID Registry management on GitLab and seamlessly integrate it with GVCR. We anticipate seeding the project in Hyperledger Labs in the future to expand , incorporating the Hyperledger AnonCreds specification and extending GitHub operations. Our ambition is to seed the project within Hyperledger Labs, aiming to extend its reach and impact significantly.
