Working Groups
This page contains details about Working Groups that had been set up by the Technical Oversight Committee. These groups have either been archived or their activities have been moved into other areas, such as SIGs, Task Forces or Regional Chapters. No new Working Groups are being created.
Special Interest Groups
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Healthcare SIG | The Healthcare SIG's mission is to house and foster technical and business-level conversations about appropriate applications for blockchain technology in the healthcare industry. These conversations will initially be broad and educational, but will transition to focus on identifying opportunities for near-term collaboration between participants on common software to implement a given application. If appropriately scoped and resourced, these conversations will lead to one or more proposals for new software development efforts to be hosted at Hyperledger. |
| Public Sector SIG | The activities of the Public Sector SIG include identifying related use cases, current pilots, and proofs of concept; sharing stories of successes, failures, opportunities, and challenges; exploring cross-cutting concerns like security, privacy, and identity in government contexts; identifying existing or needed common critical software components that would serve the particular needs of the public sector; identifying conferences or other opportunities to connect face to face, as well as submit talks or present as a group at an event. |
| Social Impact SIG | The Social Impact SIG is primarily focused on serving as a platform for exchanging ideas and exploration of ways to use blockchain technology in the context of social good. The Social Impact SIG will work with the other groups and technical teams, especially in the areas of implementation. The SIG will focus on convening a broad ecosystem, leveraging the skills, capabilities and perspectives of individuals from the developer community, the social and humanitarian space, enterprises, government and non-government entities, and beyond. |
| Trade Finance SIG | The Trade Finance SIG is focused on applying distributed ledger technology in general, and Hyperledger technologies in particular, to trade finance uses and needs. |
