Special Interest Group Health
The SI-SIG continues to find its sea legs as it strengthens its core/active membership, attracts additional members, increases engagement/participation, and moves forward with its first set of activities. We have struggled in our first few months to find a consistent cadence of meetings, membership engagement and activities, but we are working with our core SI-SIG members and the Hyperledger ecosystem team to identify and deliver solutions.Over the next quarter, we will establish a regular general SI-SIG call for all members. We have adjusted the date and time to be more conducive to a broader range of interested members. We are also beginning to establish subgroup teams to allow members to engage with greater flexibility in time zones and interestshas a healthy regular attendance (around 10-20 participants on average) and has had regular meetings every two weeks since late March/beginning April. Hyperledger POC, Karen Ottoni, took over much of the operational aspect of the SIG and Alissa Worley, current Chair, continued to be involved in meeting discussions and facilitated 2-3 meetings this quarter in Karen's absence. We've also had other community members step up to facilitate meetings as well.
Similar to other SIGs, the goal of the Social Impact SIG is to have the bi-weekly general meeting and core team serve as a “front door” to better engage and keep prospective new members active in the community, align them with resources, and connect them more directly with our subgroups. The general special interest group (SI-SIG) will continue to serve as an entrée for prospective members in the global social impact community interested in understanding how best to educate themselves and participate in the implementation of blockchain technologies–ostensibly using the Hyperledger Project umbrella of frameworks, tools, and extensive community–in order to create solutions to solve a plethora of issues for positive social impact.
