The Hyperledger Besu Project aims to achieve an Ethereum client designed to be enterprise-friendly for both public and private permissioned network use cases. The Java-based Ethereum client (Besu) is becoming one of the most used Ethereum clients by enterprises from multiple industries that are actively exploring the Web3 and digital assets space. The increasing adoption of EVM-compatible technology within financial services and the accelerating trend of tokenization of assets are some of the key drivers for enabling a collaboration space for enterprise users of Besu and code contributors of Besu to come together to drive support and help shape the evolution of Besu as an open-source project.
The interests of these two groups are a perfect match for collaborating on the adoption and success of the open-source toolBesu.
- Enterprise users of Besu in need of tech capabilities that meet enterprise requirements.
- Code contributors of Besu aiming to maximize the value and adoption of Besu.
...
The initial work products include a set of working documents describing existing feature enhancements, new enterprise features, and recommended practices of Besu for enterprise use. The HBFS-SIG WG may also host in-person meetings and presentations to accelerate the Special Interest GroupWG's mission.
3. Working in an Open Community
Hyperledger Workgroups are open and global communities where anyone from anywhere can and should be able to participate, contribute, and access information. The workgroup WG adheres to the Hyperledger Code of Conduct and Anti-Trust Policy.
Anti-Trust Policy
Linux Foundation meetings involve participation by industry competitors, and it is the intention of the Linux Foundation to conduct all its activities in accordance with applicable anti-trust and competition laws. It is therefore important that attendees adhere to meeting agendas, be aware of, and not participate in, any activities prohibited under applicable US state, federal or foreign anti-trust and competition laws. Examples of types of actions that are prohibited at Linux Foundation meetings and in connection with Linux Foundation activities are described in the Linux Foundation Antitrust Policy. If you have questions about these matters, please contact your company counsel, or if you are a member of the Linux Foundation, feel free to contact Andrew Updegrove of the firm of Gesmer Updegrove LLP, which provides legal counsel to the Linux Foundation.
...
The membership shall be free and open to members of the community who have an interest in the scope and goals of the WG. The membership is established by subscription to the mailing list. Active contribution is preferred but it is not a requirement. All participation in the activities is voluntary.
