 Okay, you're live. Okay, great. Well, thanks, everyone, for joining us today for the Hyperledger Challenge 2022. And we're going to have a great group of speakers today. We have Alfonso joining us, Arun joining us, and we have Andrea joining us. And we're going to talk a little bit about Hyperledger Challenge 2022. This is a community driven event for anyone who wants to engage with the challenge. And I also want to let you know that there's also the Hyperledger mentorship program, which is different than the challenge. And that's something that David, if you want to mention anything about the Hyperledger mentorship program, feel free to do so. But that's another way that the community can engage with the leadership and get really good feedback around a project that they're interested in. John, I do need to drop in a minute, but let me just share a link and still let everybody know. Thank you for sharing about the mentorship program. Right here. I'm putting a link in the Zoom chat if people are interested in learning more. It's an annual event that Hyperledger does. This year's program is just getting started. If you click on that weekend link, you can find out more. The current process right now is for anybody already in the community if you want to be a mentor, or accept the project proposals for ideas that you have that a mentee could work on and that you could support them with. So please take a look at that. If you're interested in being a mentor, note the deadline is coming up. It's March 9. Then once those project submissions come in, there's then the application process to be a mentee to get connected to one of those projects and receive mentorship. And then that will be, if you go to the wiki, you'll see the deadline for that, but that process will happen next. So it's a two-stage process. So similar to the challenge, but, you know, a separate program. John, I'm going to rape you. People are interested, please. And John, you're set as host. So if you need to mute anybody. I don't know who's doing that. No, I'm not. It might be Lee. Yeah, we're going to remove Lee on here. John, I'm going to rape you. Yeah, that's not appropriate. Yeah. Thank you for dealing with that, John. Okay. Sorry about that interruption. But, you know, when you have an open forum, you're going to have those types of disruptions on occasion. So Alfonso, if you want to go ahead and kick us off, that'd be great. Thank you, John, and welcome everyone. This is an information session about the Hyperledger Challenge 2022. And I think it would be good, Andrea, if you tell us a bit of the story, how Hyperledger Challenge came to be. I will. Thank you. Thank you, Alfonso. By the way, sorry for some minor noises in the background. Sorry. This is a critical time of the day for me. Just sorry I would love to get back to 2021. Actually, it all started there. Thanks to your channel, Alfonso and I have. So we decided to give the community a message for call to action to join, to add all the states to join forces together. This call was called Breaking Silence. And the message was given to the community on June 15 last year. We had a meeting with participants, cross-sates participants for supply chain safe and climate change safe, climate action safe, trade fund safe, capital market safe. So it was a community effort that aimed at delivering a sort of new way of interacting with the states and deliver global solutions. In 2021, we, I mean, I and other members of the Hyperledger family, of the Hyperledger community, we joined forces and we thought that one of the best ways to achieve the goal that we set. I'm going to re... Hey, there's plenty of noises in the background. What's going on? Yeah, we had another disruption there, Andrea, so I removed him. Sorry. So I was saying that one of the best ways for us to let's say strengthen community and deliver global project was to go for a challenge. Where participants all of the community of Hyperledger can deliver their own solution based on the Hyperledger framework, by the way, and contribute to the solving of global problems. Of course, this is all under the umbrella of what's going on globally in terms of initiatives within institutions at a global level. You might have heard of SDG, SDG, so that's the global framework. Our initiative gets in. That's why we are now, we launched this challenge and we've got new attendance and new projects to be partaken. So this is to give you an idea of what's going on during the last 20 months. And I'll leave it on to you Alfonso to start from this. Sure. And then I would ask Arun, please. Arun and the India chapter has done a great work among many issues with the Hyperhack, which is another previous work that we're building upon. Can you share, Arun, what you've done? I guess it's the past two years, 2021 and 2020. Am I correct? That's right, Alfonso. So one of the reason that the event that Alfonso just mentioned about Hyperhack was we wanted to increase awareness about Hyperledger technologies within the region here in India. And not just that, but we also wanted to increase the student participation more into these ecosystems. We observed that people are using technologies, people are building blockchain applications, products, but the contribution back to the community were not that as we expected from this region. So this was one of the areas that we wanted to close the gap and we initiated Hyperhack as one of the tools or one of the means of engaging more community members. And it turned out to be really good for us in a way that we could see encouragement going into the students community specifically and not just students. But we also saw a greater participation from mentors and subject matter experts who started willing to participate in more of such community activities. And eventually the later version of the same event, which we had last year, it had much better response from the first year that we had. So again, when we were planning on continuing that legacy of having those events yearly, and as Andrea mentioned, we all came together late last year. And instead of making those efforts in silos, we started thinking towards what if we start building the same efforts or it all we wanted to do from all these regions were kind of the same goals. What if we do it for a global landscape right so that's when the thought also emerged. Yeah, thanks Alfonso. Thanks to you everyone. Those, those two experiences were really, really great. And I can testify about it because I was a participant in 2021 and enjoy it incredible. What we want to do now is we thought that we could have a longer period of participation. And rather than having the traditional hackathon or tournament of very few hours for our days, we're going over a six months period. And we call it a challenge. And the idea of the challenge is that we're aiming to start next year, what we would like to call the marketplace for innovation, the hyper ledger marketplace for innovation, where proposals, members of hyper ledger foundation could come together, not only to explore new ideas, but to help entrepreneurs incubate their ideas, but also come in contact with with the market. So this is the story. We began with what India chapter did. We tried to put rich bridge the silos. Okay, get out of our little towers and work with the regional chapters that we have all over the world. And we're looking towards great success and eventually a marketplace for innovation. Without further ado, let's I put in the chat all for four links. Okay. And if I can share my my screen I can go quickly through them. Okay, we have the main side of the hyper ledger challenge that it's a collaboration that goes from the 18 of January to the second of August. And the idea is we have three rounds called ID eight prototype and lunch to develop innovations from ideas to sustainable solutions in several months. Innovators competing in the challenge would have access to training mentors and the hyper ledger community to support the development of their solution. We are committed to be a driving force to incorporate diversity, stability, inclusion, and innovators are really encouraged to consider those registrations are open. No stuff quickly about the time themes, phases and eligibility. I'm going to go very fast because you can always consult those, those sites. And because I'd like to have more discussion. Okay, I'd like to have. We'd like to hear questions from then we have the, the wiki page. For those of you that are new to our meetups. Hyper ledger has a wiki for all the groups. And within that group, we have the hyper ledger challenge page. And that's where you can get all the details, all all the details, the eligibility requirements, how to get to your new to hyper ledger how to get your new to hyper ledger and in its foundation ID. No. And what are the prices. What are the prototype challenge the launch and the timeline. We are going until the first of March for submissions of ideas. Yes, are that a general, general idea. Okay, then we'll shall evaluate submissions from March 1, March 15. And then the prototype phase begins. It goes from March 15 until May the 10th, where the prototype ends. We have two weeks of evaluation. And then the prototype winners are announced. And May 24, the launch begins. And it ends until July the 19. We have July 19 to August 2, an evaluation, and we shall announce the challenge will be the second of August. Everyone, it's open for everyone. Okay. Any individual teams of individuals, private entities for profit or non for profit, academic institutions all are eligible to compete in the idea challenge. There are forms. There's a form to to to fit up. Okay. And basically, we asked for particular protection of of intellectual rights in terms of license of software and creative commons. And of course, the code of content. There is a form for mentors, whomever wants to help being a mentor, please go to the link that's in the chat and and fill the form to be a mentor. If you want a more general description. There is a blog post in the community for the hyper ledger challenge. And I would stop sharing, because I would like that we begin sharing, but sharing not screens, but sharing questions and comments, ideas and suggestions. So, I'll give the microphone back to you, John. I talked too much. Oh, no, you did wonderful Alfonso and thanks for that run through the program. So I think really the questions that are going to come from the audience today are, you know, what is the best way for them to engage with the people who are running the challenge and what other resources would they have available to them, based on you know the different working groups that are represented here. And so Andrea maybe you want to talk a little bit about your special interest group, and what kind of resources you can encourage anyone joining the challenge. Thanks John. Actually, the, the city that I'm sharing is about to be merged with another one. So, it's no longer actually the hyper ledger trade financing. Now it's called the hyper ledger supply chain and trade financing. Tuesdays got merged and the government joined forces. As for your question, what we can offer is a community that looks quite sound. We were deeply focused and we are still deeply focused on both sides of the ocean actually we cross cross geographies. So we are deeply based in the Africa region because in the past we used to join forces on Africa region time because each digitization is a major standard of that. So we have the full outlook of what's going on in that particular region on the world. And also that deep into the experiences of the supply chains as well. And we're teaming up, by the way, besides what's going on with the hyper ledger challenge on to collaboration. We have a joint collaboration Apple between trade finance supply chain and climate action see on specific project they're being developed. So, what we can offer is a kickstart actually, and a privilege side on what we can do. If you look at the industry itself, John, the trade finance such hybrid nature industry that crosses pathway with so many others. So what we can offer is a privilege loop into what can be done to cross pathways and deliver global solutions. And that's what we are doing. Keep starting now we bring the flame of collaboration throughout the community. Okay, perfect. And rune, I know you serve on the technical steering committee, and are heading up a lot of other initiatives around hyper ledger. So maybe you can talk a little bit about what types of resources you can offer to those people who want to participate in the challenge. So, this is really collaborative effort across hyper ledger communities right so in terms of resources available. Let's, let's talk about different roles that you as an individual can participate in the event. So let's say if you are a person, you who comes in with a strong business domain expertise, and you come in with much of subject knowledge expertise that let's say a typical developer would not have right. So here is an opportunity for you where you can propose a problem statement that you foresee, which requires collaboration across, let's say different groups. So please do propose that problem statement to the hyper ledger challenge. And even though you do not, you may not have sufficient, let's say resources in terms of development efforts or the project planning. There is an opportunity where you can collaborate or you can invite additional members who then can join you. So now the second type of role that I'm talking about is you as an individual who is looking to partner and with somebody else. You are a great developer, let's say you know how to program how to code, you want to get involved into this, but you don't have an idea and how do you get involved right. Yes, there is an opportunity in the event. So what we do probably is when these proposals do come in, we will open it up for those submitters, we will ask them if you're looking for partners to build alongside with you in this challenge. And here are the people who are interested in building and taking it further. So please utilize their time and please accept them in your team if you would like to and start working with them. So that's another individual contributor role. Now the third option is where you already have a team or you may already have an idea that you want to work on. And I guess that's where we provide you bridging expertise from the community. We have really great set of mentors who have already signed up from across the globe who are ready to spend their time and help you out in your journey through the six months phase. So utilize, we will start engaging them with you or your team as soon as the ideation phases evaluations are done. And when you start prototyping that's when you will have your mentors working alongside and not just these. So the entire hyper ledger community we have made sure that this information is reached to majority of maintenance or maximum that we could talk to. And everybody has expressed interest in helping out. So in case you get stuck with some of the projects or in case you are facing issues and you need to know how to do certain things in certain projects. We will help you either directly bridging you to the maintainers from those projects. Or the other option is if we see common set of questions coming in from particular area, we will organize learning sessions or let's say workshop sessions on those projects. So this is the plan of how we plan to continuously engage the larger community with the participants through the event. If you have additional ways of engagement and if you have more ideas, we always welcome your suggestions. Perfect. So what I'd like to do right now is just survey who's in attendance here and see if anyone would like to be a mentor first. And if so, either raise your hand or come off mute and let's see how we can get you engaged with the program. Jason raising hand from long time maybe Jason has a question or something. Okay, Jason, you want to come off mute and ask your question. Yeah, hi, thanks. Yeah, a couple of questions. If you don't mind. So, so one was, is there anything in particular for this competition that the hyperledger is looking for and what I mean by that is, is the idea to come up with open source projects that can be used with hyperledger, or is it just any potential use case that we have an idea for, or are there specific industries that you're looking to target. Or that have a better chance I guess in the competition. Yes, Jason, for that first question. It has to relate to hyperledger. Okay. It has to have a connection with hyperledger. It is open source. And it's open to any of the frameworks. Libraries, special interest groups, working groups, it's open. It's not limited to any industries open to all. Okay, thanks. Yeah, Jason. I know hyperledger have a few open source projects like the marketplace and a couple others built on salt teeth and I didn't know if that's what this was for for individual ideas that we wanted to come up with so I appreciate that. I guess the other question I had to is, if, if you happen to be a winner, is there any kind of ongoing relationship after the competition ends with the foundation or, or is he just kind of on your end at that, at that point. I just want to talk about the bigger incentives right so from a community standpoint, I know we recognize this that the winner should be recognized well, and so far we have been able to get. So hyperledger will be giving stipend or scholarship to those winners and to participate in hyperledger global forum event in person later this year right so that's probably one of the bigger incentive. Now, apart from those incentives, the other incentives available are so top teams will be getting against scholarship to start to get certified against some of the hyperledger at the Linux Foundation offered hyperledger programs, such as CHF DRC HFA, which you are aware of already. And apart from these, we are in talks with certain other companies and more information will be laid out in next few days. Alfonso do you want to take that part. Yes, and also, there are two possibilities for for the winner, depending on what the idea is about. Okay, one is for hyperledger foundation to present the project for a crowdfunding opportunity. And the other one is internally that it be considered as a project for the hyperledger labs. So there are the awards that I don't was was talking about plus the crowdfunding and access to the labs. I see the crowdfunding to be the biggest incentive of all. So you get. If you go through all the faces, then we will help you from the hyperledger challenge community right to set up your own crowdfunding project through the Linux Foundation. And so we want you to grow your community further. We don't want you to stop building the product just after the event we in fact want you to further build it and attract more contributions to your project through the continued engagement model. And there are a few other things which we, which we are looking into for instance, if the project really is good proposal, and you, we think that it requires additional attention, more contributors to dive in from the beginning, there is an opportunity that the same project may also be applied at hyperledger mentorship program right. That door is also fun. We can consider that as a proposal as well for mentorship program. So if you make a proposal to challenge program and if that requires additional developers, there is a possibility of through the mentorship program as well. And we did not cover. Sorry, we did not cover some of the other benefits or other prizes that are being offered because they are still under discussion. But participants do get, let's say if they want a crowd cloud platform to play around their deployment, or if they need blockchain as a service offering, where they can deploy something and try out their prototypes. And we are in engagement with some of the companies to get that finalized as well. That's why I said like more information will be coming in later this week, and we will make sure that these things happen before the prototype phase begins. That sounds great. Thank you very much. Perfect, that's great description. One thing I think that's important here is a rune also posted that hyperledger is now adopted discord for their communications chat. So if anyone hasn't already joined the hyperledger discord, please do so and then there's a channel in there for a hyperledger challenge and a room is gracefully put that into the chat here. And I appreciate that. One other question I see coming through on the chat is talking about office hours for the session and being able to talk with the teams and experts. So, who from the team would like to take the office hours question. Okay, I'm going to, I'm going to go to Alfonso for that. Okay. This depends to be able to reach out to the experts. We, we haven't thought about that, that proposal, I mean to have like, you know, an office with office hours or questions to be solved. We have thought to have mentors. Okay. And to connect with the different communities. Okay. So that's, that's what we have thought. But if this is a suggestion that you think should be considered. Well, make make a proposal. What we're trying to do is we're trying to bring together our communities all over the world. Okay, with the Latin American chapter, in my case, in the Italy, all the groups and connect among ourselves and through our community interact with hyperledger at hyperledger foundation. Okay. That's, that's my, my honest response. We don't have it. We thought something else, but we're open to suggestions. Okay, perfect. There's there's another hand raised, john. Okay, great. A while, a while ago. Go ahead if you've had your hand raised. Come off mute. And go ahead and ask a question. Hey, John, this is Michael Novak. How are you today? I'm doing great. Great to catch up with you. Yeah, I haven't seen you for a while. So yeah, this is, this sounds exciting. I'm certainly interested in volunteering to mentor. I think Alfonso may have answered the question. But has there been any consideration for a way for the mentors to collaborate so if they're working with a group that has a question that may be common. And if they're working amongst the different projects, the mentors can communicate and say, Hey, have you guys heard this? What was your answer to it? This is an issue I have as well. Sharing of information between mentors. We just got this court. Okay. Hyperledger migrated from rocket chat to this court. It's just beginning. The way that we can take your suggestion, which is very good, is that that we could open a channel for for mentors and broad Q and A's. Okay. Or even just a keyword to write just hash mark mentor or something. So I could do a search and say, Oh, here are the questions the mentors have about the issue. It's, it's a very good idea. Thank you. Thank you for proposing. I got it from John. John gave it to me. But that's, that's what the community is for and friends. Sure. The main thing is, Mike, you bring up a great point there is just, there might be a need for a mentors only channel. And it might be a private channel of anyone who's a mentor, just to kind of address any of the challenges that the hyperledger challenge group is bringing forth. And support the mentors. I mean, not even just the issues, but organization. Sure. No, that's a, that's a great point, great input. Glad to hear that you're interested in being a mentor. And really, I think that's one of the things I want to kind of get out of the way first is. Thanks for volunteering there. Do we have any other people on the call that would be interested in being a mentor as well. Hi. Actually, I'm trying to fill the form for the mentor. But one of the question is, I'm not sure like what technical areas and the products as a mentor with and I'm just trying to keep is it possible to open that one because I have to select one specific thing right now. I'm not sure I cannot move. I mean, is there any, do I need to really check that specific product within the hyperledger. Or is there any option like open, I'm not sure. Yeah, I guess I'll defer that one to, okay. Alfonso, is there any specific restrictions around what they can choose or is it pretty much open ended. Okay, open ended. And if, again, if there's something else that should be included in the format. Please, let us know. This is a collective effort. Okay. So all suggestions are welcome. So the more we try to deliver a nice solution and cross discipline the better it is. That's my personal invitation to think behind I mean well beyond cybers well beyond barriers between disciplines. Okay, great. Ramja. Is there any other person on the call that would like to also participate as a mentor in this hyperledger 2022 challenge. There are two hands raised Francisco and a meal. Okay Francisco you want to go first. I'm sorry, joined late to this meeting but I'm interested in finding your group in this court. Can you tell me what that is and what we guys called. Yeah, and a rune posted that in the chat. I don't know if you've seen that in the chat. You could search for hyperledger hyphen challenge. And that's the group, which we can use for collaboration. Thank you. Appreciate it. Francisco I'm going to go ahead and just post that again, just taking a runes posting and reposting it here. And then. Now, do you want to go next. Oh yeah sure. Thank you. Thank you. It was very informative for me. So the question I have like you guys have two types of participation right one for developers and one as mentors right. I find that I'm not in any of those. I mean scenarios. I don't have exposure to hyperledger or so I can't participate and I'm not a developer but my background is that I have many years of it experience. So do you guys have would I be a good candidate to participate in this because I'm interested in this technology. So, would that be a suitable like folks like me. We good candidates to participate. Yes, yes. I don't talk about the case of someone that has a business idea and doesn't know about developing. And the case of a developer that is looking for an interesting idea to support. Okay, but there are more. Facets in those two groups. For instance, I wasn't involved in similar exercises for for United Nations long time ago. And we'd like to talk about a third role, which is the role of communication of creating communities. Okay, of helping marketing. Okay, those three general roles always make for a great team. If there's a great idea that is well communicated and well built technically and market in a sensible way. Well, then you have a winning team. Okay, when you say, Anil that that you are in a been an IT for a long time, and following with the reaching the silos concept. Hyponetic Latin America just had a first session with the CNCF, which is another foundation of the minute foundation, which is the cloud native computing foundation. And those guys know a lot of things that I suffer when I try to deploy my first fabric little fabric chain. Okay, so you, you expertise is what matters. It's expertise in different areas with a lot of enthusiasm. And no bright eyes and really a strong heart for for your proposal and making a team. Okay. That's that's something that we've we've seen as as successful in the past. I'm not canceling that there's an individual that is extremely bright, clear mind, a lot of vision. And he comes and even says, Listen, hyper ledger, you haven't thought of this. And I want to propose it to you. Great. Welcome. Yeah, so I think that hyper ledgers and open and inclusive community. So, if you want to maybe collaborate on a team that's with a developer team, I think that'd be a good role for you. Or alternatively, if you wanted to be an assistant to one of the mentors, and really, you know, just to help out wherever you could do, you know, further along their mentorship of anyone who joins the program that'd be great as well. Okay, great, great idea, John. Great idea. Someone to support the mentors. Yeah, absolutely. And I think either either side of that coin works, and it just depends on if you want to help out a team that's developing a project or if you want to help out a mentor with taking care of, you know, some follow up or different project aspects that they need. Okay, great. Let's see anyone else want to raise their hand about the mentor side of the equation at this point. There's another hand raised admin. Okay, you want to come off mute and ask a question. Okay, sounds. Hello. Yeah. Hi. Yeah, I didn't have a question about the mentorship. I just had a question about being a prospective mentee. So, I'll probably just wait until you are addressing questions for mentees that that's okay with you. Fine. And what I want to do is just make sure that we cover all the mentors who may have an interest in either being a mentor themselves or being an assistant to a mentor, as we just talked about. Yes, sir. Thank you so much. Okay, if there's not any other questions regarding the mentor side of the equation. Sorry, I see a couple of questions on chart channel. So Elizabeth has asked. Let's address those a room. If you want to jump in and just address them, that'd be great. Elizabeth green, if you want to unmute yourself and and ask that question. So I read the question as if any contributing corporations, including Accenture, adopt and develop your project for you. How is that another benefit for contribution. So, can you elaborate that question or clarify that question. A contributor contributes their idea and starts developing it and then Accenture somebody takes off on it and says let's turn this into a product that we can sell. What is the, what is the legal contract that requires some kind of consideration to the person who gave the idea and started developing. We have two licenses in the initial requirements. One is a an Apache license for the software just open source. And I always suggest that even before presenting or for submitting any form. There is a Creative Commons license also for the idea itself. And so basically what Alfonso is talking about is just, you know, this is an open source community. So when working on these projects assume it's going to be part of the open source philosophy. Okay, Arun. Next question that you have in the chat there that you think is relevant. Some of them look like they're talking about other seminars coming up like NFTs and other things like that. But that's really, you know, if somebody wanted to work on an NFT project, I guess the way I would position that is that would be something that would be available to them. As long as they're using like Nefertiti. There is Nefertiti. Nefertiti is the new, the new NFT project in the Hyperletter Labs. So to OX, connect to Nefertiti, look for Nefertiti in the Wiki page of the Hyperletter. So I read that question as the sour, I guess that's Saurav. I read it as Saurav, right? So maybe he's interested in knowing is March 1st the deadline. So as we said earlier in the call, we are going to extend the timeline for ideation phase. The last due date is going to be 15th. However, having said that, we will start evaluation from March 1st itself. So for all the submissions that happen so far, evaluations will begin on March 1st. And for the submissions that do happen between March 1st and 15th, they will happen as they are being proposed. Okay, perfect. Looks like Mohan has a question about how to reach out for being a mentor or mentor assistant. Realistically, we just were talking about the form and maybe if you want to just post the link in the chat and Mohan, I see you came off mute. If you want to just ask that question directly. Yeah, actually, I saw the link. Maybe I can go there and add my name. But the thing is, I don't see my expertise in this. I have the background in software development also in network security, networking, those kind of areas, but I don't see those things in the list. So I'm wondering how I can contribute here as a mentor or mentor or mentor. Yeah, we got that. I would just say, you know, everyone's welcome to be a contributor and it's just a function of, would you rather help on the mentor side of the equation or the mentee side of the equation. Just, you know, express your interest there and there's a good fit with one of the teams that are either being a mentor team mentee team. So Mohan, maybe for you, the best option would be all our proposals are open available for anybody to review. So if you go to submission page, you can actually see all the submissions done so far. So I would strongly recommend that you go there and look through those proposals and see if you can through those ideas. If you can, if you think that you can be valued for any of those projects, and if you tell us that you can be valued to any of them. We are happy to connect you with the teams that submitted the submitters. Oh, I can do that. Yeah. Okay. Alfonso, does anyone else who's raised their hand about the mentor side. Let's see. No, I'm not not in the screen. I'm looking in the chat. Okay, it looks like there's a question posed to a room on the chat there. He kind of wants to follow up with a room and in in case you want to revise your proposal until 15 March, please make a note in your proposal itself that you're planning to revise it and probably mark an expected date by when we can start submitting that to evaluation committee. That will indicate us that you're still in progress, we will wait till the last date that you mentioned in the proposal. And then onwards we probably are going to submit what you have already put up. There's another question from do talk about a token based project to reward for for not driving. All ideas are welcome. Okay. So that's one of the things that we want to avoid telling like, hey, you have to work on this particular problem statement or that one. We want to keep it open to you. If you think your idea or your project proposal is a value add to the community. So welcome to propose it. Perfect. Okay, let's go ahead and move over to the mentee side of the equation we have about 10 minutes left in the presentation here. So, maybe if you want to go ahead and raise your hand if you're interested in being a mentee, and what types of projects that you may be interested in undertaking for the project itself. Alfonso if you see hands raised up maybe you'll yes, I mean, call out to admin admin go ahead and I don't I don't know why it says admin it should say Martin no shield my apologies everybody. Um, so yes, I'm Martin no shield Wendy city SDR were based here in Chicago. We were selected in 2016 to be part of the IBM global entrepreneur program in San Francisco. And ever since then we've been part of the IBM Watson build program in 2017 2018 and 2019. Our biggest concern at this point is in 2018 and 2019 as being part of the IBM Watson build program. The API is worked in order to try and come up with a solution or a product or whatever yes, I see you laughing there. So that was that was one of the biggest problems that we had, we had, or I had, when I was part of that. But what I, I stuck in the chat earlier if you scroll all the way to the beginning of the chat I packaged up what I call a IBM create IBM blockchain software defined radio financial networks, essentially it's a hyper ledger framework that we could use with with the cyber defined radio so can create wireless blockchain IBM hyper ledger networks. So that's something I would prospectively be interested in trying to include in this year's challenge. And if you look at the tweet, I must have gotten like 30,000 views, and a majority of the likes were from IBM Bank and IBM IBM Google so that's that's one of the things I would like to try and and see if I can add as a challenge for this 2022 IBM hyper ledger hyper ledger challenge and I'll meet myself. All right, just be explicit about how you connect to any of the hyper ledger resources and you're welcome. Thank you. Hey, do we have other hands raised about wanting to be a mentee in the program here. Go ahead to draw Daniel, it's Daniel actually. Well, I don't know how to change it that's the problem which is why I want to be a mentee because I'm not a developer. It's just kind of new to me but I think my project's very interesting and I like that this hyper ledger challenges taking place so I try to move it forward. Not a developer I think I would like to have somebody mentor me through the process of, you know, how to go about creating tokens. My projects based on transportation so I want to reward people for not driving using the token platform. I would suggest something that there's a site that you should look into as a dodge site to tokens. Number two tokens. Okay. And they have great awareness products for tokens and token roadmap. That helps you understand for the Dutch and the European case what creating a token needs. I'm going to put it in the chat. But that's that's one recommendation I have with you. Okay, with that information but I still be able to do something like what you guys are offering through the channel. That is a place where you can learn about tokens. Okay. And once you've seen it, then your ideas about how to use what you've seen might flow better. Awesome. Thank you. Okay, do we have any other hands raised around the mentee side of this Alfonso. Yes. I don't know if it's a name that I don't know how to pronounce or it's an acronym that I guess I guess it's OX that sort of has added before his name. So it should be OX. Okay, great. Right. Thanks for joining. John, thank you guys. This is this is very good. I was able to listen to most of it. That reached out to her earlier because I was trying to sign up but I figured out I couldn't do it. So today I'm able to do it now. Briefly, what I wanted to ask is and put this idea is I'm trying to solve the problem of identity and verification, especially for the working community. And the reason to do that is because they are in any company, for example, the Amazons and the delivery guys, these companies, they hire them in huge numbers. And in many countries, there's not enough paperwork which is done for them. So their employment histories are not recognized in the most formal way. And my idea to do that is make it very easy for these companies to do that by issuing NFTs, which again, it makes it very interesting because of the form factor it has. So people can get this kind of cool identity cards minted as NFTs or something of those sorts. And because it's issued on blockchain now, any guy or individual who shows up at your door with a package for delivery, you can just query that ID or an NFT number or something token ID and actually verify that that person is genuine without having to go to the HR or employment records of that company who has hired them. So it solves a couple of problems and that is what I wanted to do. And I know between in Hyperledger, there are several tools to do that. I mean, Aries is out there, Indi has been there for a long time. And now I just saw that NFT resources are coming up. So that's where this is the idea. And I want to see true advice and input from the experts out there. What would be the best combination of tools I can use to actually implement this project? You can also look. There's a new series of workshops that Hyperledger Foundation has related to special interest groups or working groups. And there were two workshops in the past month or month and a half. One about Indies and the other one about areas. And it was great. It was a great, great way of learning about framework, but also learning about applications, mainly about the British Columbia guys. So I would recommend and I would recommend everyone just. I know it's like trying to drink water from from fire hose. But go to the YouTube channel of Hyperledger. And if you can manage it, there's plenty of tutorials, resources, meetups. Now it's a fire hydrant, I know. It's difficult to drink water from a fire hydrant. Thank you. Thank you. Francisco. Hi, yes. The other day I wanted to volunteer with a nonprofit organization based in Massachusetts about helping refugees in Syria. And they wanted to implement blockchain and start using that for their platform. And as I was diving into Hyperledger and Bursa and Indie, I realized it's just very overwhelming. So I really like to see if I can get a mentor here, become a mentor here. Yes, let me just, let me just give you, I can't find it, I can't find it, sorry. But there, there is, there is an NGO that has exactly a huge repository of blockchain for food and blockchain for social impact. I'm not finding it, I can't do, sorry, I'm from an old version of a gender that cannot do two things at the same time. You young guys are better wired than myself. I can look at it later and mail it or discord it to you. So Francisco, I guess that's a great question. And in terms of help to get the mentorship for that idea. I'm sure we can help you once you propose your idea right. And, and in terms of what Alton suggest mentioned, can you please follow up that on discord, we will be happy to help you for that. Sounds good. I'll submit the only white paper and the proposal that I have. Thank you. Okay, we're coming up on the top of the hour. Are there any other final questions from the mentee side that we would like to touch base on or are we ready to wrap the session. And I'm just going to look carefully here looks like the only hands or Francisco which we already did that. And Dura, which was Daniel Francisco you have any other comments you want to make here. That was it. Thank you. Okay, looks like we have all Fahami. Do you want to go ahead and ask your question here. Okay, hello everybody. I want to thank everyone participating list for the clear interventions. I have just one question, because I'm a student that I'm a developer and I've came across fabric, and I had to develop an application that put certificate papers from school or universities into the blockchain. I may not have the ideas or strong ideas to participate in the challenge, but how can I, for example, join a team of developers and work on a given project. Okay, Andrea or Arun you want to tackle that one. Sure, I can go with that. So, I'll find me, I guess, at present we don't have a nomination statement where you can express your interest. However, since we have opened up the discord channel right so please put your put yourself there and say that you're available as a developer. And if any other teams are also looking for developers, they can directly approach you. And if you have expressed your interest to us and if we notify I mean if it gets notified to us, there are multiple ways you can notify that to us right so there is a contact us form in the website. That's one way of telling us that you are available. There is a discord channel where you can say that you are available for development. And if we come to know that we have interested people who are developers, we will assist them and get you connected to some of some of the other submit submissions who are already looking for team members. So that will happen before the prototype phase. Okay, anyone else have any remaining questions otherwise we're going to bring the session to a close we're four minutes over time now. I put the link to the positive blockchain right database database for social impact. Okay, well I really want to thank Alfonso rune and Andrea for joining us for the session today. And we should have all the information out there please join us on discord. That'll be the main communication framework going forward. And thanks to everyone for taking time to join our session today. Thank you john for making it possible. We appreciate that. Have a wonderful day everyone.
