Overview
The Indy Interop-a-thon athon is a two-day virtual event to define the work needed in Indy and Aries to make "network of networks" a reality for Indy ledger DID Utility instances.
Goal
The purpose of this community design event is to bring members of the open source identity community together for two days of focused effort to enable the following use case:
...
We'll start by exploring the use case and collecting the various ways that the use case can be addressed. Is it an appropriate use case? What is possible in the short term? What if we focus on the long term? In doing that, we'll consider things like DID method specifications, enabling ledger-independent transactions, KERI, name-spacing, governance frameworks at Layers 1 and 3 of the ToIP stack and other ideas from the community. We'll also talk about other DID ledgers and how that might affect what is to be done in Indy. Once we've looked at the options, we'll narrow down to one that provides a relatively straight-forward path to implementation (with testing) that will remain viable for a reasonable period of time. The tricky part will be agreeing on what "relatively" and "reasonable" mean in this context. From there, we'll finish the collaboration by defining the technical work to be carried to enable the use case.
...
The scope of the conference is deliberately constrained, and we may get through the topic in less than the allotted time. If that happens will decide to stop or move on to other topics.
When
...
Tuesday September 1 - Wednesday September 2, 2020 on Zoom
Times will be determined based Based on the locations of the participantstime zones information provided by the participants, the conference sessions will start at 7AM Eastern US/1PM Central European and go for 6 hours per day.
Where
Sessions will be held virtually, using Zoom, and documented using shared Google Docs. The Google Docs will be collected and put into this Wiki, mostly in this section.
Who Should Attend
Crucial to the success of this exercise is the participation of those in the community involved in building and deploying solutions based on Indy networks. We need to achieve consensus on how to proceed. That includes Indy developers, Aries framework developers, and those building applications on top of Aries and using Indy verifiable credentials.
