Code & Projects
Congratulations to Tatsuya Sato from Hitachi for becoming a maintainer for Hyperledger Fabric. Maintainers are people who have demonstrated a history of useful contributions and who help guide the development of the project and help others get involved. Becoming a maintainer is something that is open to anyone who is interested in contributing their time and expertise. If there is a project that you would be interested in becoming a maintainer for, we recommend that you get involved in the project's regular discussions and make some initial contributions. Once you connect with other project contributors and demonstrate your interest to contribute, you can speak with them about next steps with the process of becoming a maintainer.
