 Good morning everyone. Good afternoon, good evening, good middle of the night wherever you are. Welcome back to Hyperledger Global Forum 2021. This is the third day. I hope you've been able to enjoy much of the terrific content here. I get to meet other people. A lot of fun stuff has been happening these last few days and I'm so excited to introduce and host this final round of keynote conversations and presentations. As usual and once again, thank you to Accenture and IBM as diamond sponsors of the event. Thank you as well to the Falcoyne Foundation, Hitachi, Siemens, and Zulig Pharmaceutical for their generous sponsorship, which has helped make all of this possible for us to bring to all of you. Also, of course, wanted to reinforce we are governed here by a code of conduct. So please read this, get to understand it, and we really want to make sure that at events like these, whether they're real or virtual, all feel truly welcome here in the Hyperledger community. Hopefully many of you have had a chance to enjoy the hallway track that we've hosted in Gather Town. A bunch of us gathered there yesterday after the sessions were over and hung out and even played a competitive game of Tetris. That was pretty hysterically fun. So I do get a chance to check it out. We'll keep it open a little bit after this last round of sessions is done for today. I do want to express sincere thanks to the program committee, a group of over 20 different individuals drawn from all parts of the Hyperledger community who really helped us put together an amazing form for all of you. This is community built, community stewarded, and really I think reflects the incredible range of ideas and projects going on inside the Hyperledger ecosystem. We also, as you probably saw in the crawl at the beginning, wanted to express sincere thanks as a staff to a particular set of individuals in the Hyperledger community who've really helped us glue everything together. Anita and Alexander, Grace Hartley, Bobby Mosquera, Peter Samogliari, and Renato Tejera. All of you have really helped us grow the international footprint and really connect far beyond the code to the broader community of Hyperledger. So thank you for that. I wanted to open with a little bit of a framing not to drill too much into it, but we really have gotten to better understand our community through some deployment of statistics tools and others to understand the direction that projects head in and that sort of thing. And without diving into it too deeply, one thing that's come back to us pretty clearly is we really do need to figure out, as we've always tried to figure out, how do we work better together as a greenhouse? All of you have seen that graphic with all of our projects together living under one roof. Some of them intensely competitive with each other, right? Let's just be honest. And sometimes figuring out how to go beyond meeting our immediate needs on those projects can be a struggle. So to try to put this in perspective, some of you heard me mention on a keynote conversation earlier this week, we raised chickens at my house. This is my daughter holding a chick that's a couple of months old. She has gone on to be a hen laying, I'm sorry, a egg laying hen, producing a couple of eggs a day for us actually. And so I read this passage recently in a newsletter from O'Reilly that caused me to make a connection here. I just really wanted to share with you. And the headline was, is there such a thing as too much competition? And without going into the details, there was this famous chicken breeding experiment where they tried to see how do we increase the amount of eggs that hens can produce in a big factory farming kind of situation. And so they put all the hens who produced the most eggs together and tried to breed them together as you might and discovered that actually it wasn't a great thing. They were producing hens that saw higher aggression, lower egg production, fewer chickens overall due to hyperaggressive hens. By contrast, when they focus their breeding on the most productive groups of chickens, because chickens tend to form flocks as you might imagine, and bred those for productivity as a group, they saw a 160% increase in productivity. They realized that there was a role that even those chickens who weren't laying eggs played in helping foster that development. We even see this ourselves in our own henhouse where we see chickens kind of taking turns on the eggs, keeping them warm, all that kind of stuff. So the conclusion from all of this was that selfish individuals out compete altruistic individuals, right? But altruistic groups out compete selfish groups. This was an observation based on this and other work that evolutionary biologist David Sloan and Wilson arrived at. And this is a really key insight that I think applies not just to chickens, but applies to open source projects, particularly those like Hyperledger, but also like the Cloud Native Compute Foundation, Apache Software Foundation and others that within one community, we sometimes can get competitive. We sometimes have different approaches to solving the same problem and figuring out how to help each project be successful, but still work together is super hard to do rather than just viciously competing. I do want to give one quick example of where I think this is working well. Some folks here might have been on the session yesterday talking about the different interoperability initiatives at Hyperledger, both the project Hyperledger Cactus, as well as the two things in labs, Weaver and Yui. Bringing these projects together, especially so early in their effort, has been really important. They all come at it from different angles with a different idea of what the priorities are. Yui, for example, implements something called the IBC interblockchain communications protocol. But this early on, it's still early enough for each of them to think altruistically about what might they do beyond meaning their own immediate needs to be able to combine their efforts. And this is something we should be thinking more about across the rest of Hyperledger. When we're building these things, it will pay off to think, how do I find other people with a similar problem to my own, help them meet their needs by looking for opportunities for us to collaborate. And so I'm really happy to see that happen and really want to make sure as a community, we never take the development of open source as a community, not just as code for granted, that we recognize this is hard work. And there's a bit of sacrifice required to make that happen. But at the end of the day, if we're altruistic, not just as individuals, but as a group, then we'll get to something really better. And this was just a whole series of observations led me to go. I've got to talk about this in front of the audience. I'm really happy to see so much of this happening inside the Hyperledger ecosystem. So we had some amazing keynotes during the segment one for today. I won't repeat it, but they're up on YouTube already. One on fighting fraud and error in the vaccine supply chain, which is going to be a huge deal this year. Another talking about all sorts of applications for Hyperledger's technologies in the telecom sector in some major banking environments where a trillion dollars worth, a trillion rem in B have been transferred over a blockchain based network in the last year. Yeah, in the last year. So amazing stuff to hear. But today, we've got an amazing set of keynote panels on their way, one by Jonathan Doughton. I'll introduce him just before he comes on talking about the fight against misinformation, a fireside chat between Marta Belcher of the Filecoin Foundation and Mike Dolan from the Linux Foundation about this moment in time where we are with the adoption of blockchain technology and a closing panel, which I'm really excited about on how NFTs are changing the music and media landscape. And we'll introduce all of them as we get there. But don't forget the hallway track. Don't forget the networking features in Hoppin. Be sure and claim your $25 Kiva credit as the as the attendee gift. And finally, consider coming tomorrow to the Firefly at Hyperledger Day. Links to all of the above are in Hoppin. And with this, I really want to transition now to Jonathan Doughton.
