 Okay, folks welcome to the hyper ledger supply chain and trade finance special interest group session project planning on the 18th of April. Uh, 2024 thanks for joining here, whether it's. Live or after the fact, uh, first off, Alicia, thank you for being the host and doing a great job for the session. Couple of weeks ago with, uh, from partner network. She did a nice job. You did a nice job. Very interesting conversation, which I think maybe comes into some of what we're talking about today and planning here. Um, so let's start off 1st. Um, here, because we're part of hyper ledger, we have some things to go through all our welcome. So we're glad that you're here or listening again. Uh, via the replay on YouTube and then also please don't say anything confidential since we have any antitrust policy. Don't share anything that you don't want to share with anybody else since this is all an open forum here. Um, let's see here announcements. You can see you can read through here links foundation a number of different events. We will have our planning session today and then upcoming. We're going to have Bobby Mosquero talking about FTs and giving Shane on the 2nd of May and then Ned Thompson has already set up with Alex style of Ventura's for May 16th and then freight waves as a session, et cetera. Um, so there's that let's see. And if you're interested, Alex got back to me with this title. It's going to be blockchain for supply chain interoperability. Beautiful, beautiful. Okay, we have that. Um, so I'm happy for that. Uh, what I want to say, I lost my train of thought anyways. Um, oh, I know it was Meryl's presentation. I just listened to it since I'm back from vacation after 2 weeks here. Um, and, uh, there were 102 views on it already after 2 weeks on YouTube. So I think we're getting decent uptake on these, you know, obviously we'd like thousands of mills. But we're probably not that broad a base. So we'll celebrate 102 and appreciate Meryl for sharing her thoughts and I on for connecting us here. So, uh, one thing I did want to mention is Alicia has spent some time and how to get involved here beyond the 3 co-chairs that we have. So, please take a gander at that. There's many different ways in addition to the, what we're going to be talking to today about project planning and blog for you to join, join the fun associated with this. And let's see here. Okay. This is something we'll talk about. So with that, let's see here. Jeff, are you open to spending a minute or so and just giving us the thoughts on the co-chair meeting or the coach, the chair meetings from Monday. I believe it was. You're on mute, Jeff. Okay. I was on your screen that month. So, um, yeah, a big chunk of it was taken up by the, you know, I've never been able to say this is anyway, there's this thing that's involved with um, education training and demonstration of just typicalization, um, training coach and how it could be used or something like that. You can speak just a little bit more loudly. I, I appreciate it. You're coming through a little soft. Are you having the same thing, Alicia? Yeah, it was getting really garbled. I couldn't understand a little bit of Charlie Brown teacher going on. Oh, that's even worse than what I was here. Yeah, that's better, but still not cool. I doubt my metaphor. So are you going to be okay? It's a little fuzzy, but I can hear you. Okay. I know what you're saying. Um, it's a brand new metaphor. Anyway, we, um, we were saying about half of it was just the demonstration. We had to get back down to the point of who that was that showed that, but it was their presentation. And if they're doing a properization of credits, training, credits, then the control employer, um, an organization that they want to improve that and you've taken classes, then they're going to be able to see what they're doing out there. So again, it was a, it was probably like the demonstration. And the rest of them were just, what are we doing, a different thing. So in this portion here, I mentioned the blog. What we're working on with the blog, the other signator said that was a great idea. I gave them an indication that he's joined in and content as you would like. Um, no comment back on that. So anyway, I gave them that I also mentioned to those groups that they're all in the call that some of our work this year, including the blog, maybe a bit more technical in the sense of the script of conceptual we want to delve into some of the hyper ledger software groups that I was told the best idea around that is to look for or the architecture groups like for some of the software groups because they're so busy and try and find the architects architects tend to be very good organizations. So now nobody knows where they are because recruiters are always going after him. I know this was curious being an architect. We kind of have you pseudo in the business and pseudo and it and difficult. And I think the same things on hyper ledger, even in discord architects are hard to find, but they didn't have the architect on Monday and the coachers being to talk about that solution and go back and look at it. I think that was really a wrap up on the co chair was the chunk of it was taken up by that very good demonstration, which gives us an outlet to give a demonstration to be on to the next culture meeting. I thought it was more stringent as far as just talking about what the groups are doing and demo stuff. Excuse me, Jeff, Tom, do you hear something really strange in the background. They're strange like breathing. Like, like, I can try and fix that. So, Jeff, we're going to get what you're going to need to get you. Yeah, it does it. It does that sometimes when I have it on a certain surface. It turns on. Get some funky resonance there. Wow. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Good. Well, what, why don't we stop there. There, Jeff. What, no, that background noise went away. And now it's back. I'm just slowly trying to tilt it back. This is all recorded. It's on, it's on a surface that. So the heater anyway, but can get some high mode because I'm overheating it. Moving it around. So I'll hold it for now. Okay, let's let's break for right now. Hey, we might keep this. I heard, I'll be heard about the coach here and stuff though. Yeah, I think my, my takeaway from it is other leaders like the idea, maybe technology focus. And then my third, maybe take away Jeff, if you could put on you. Okay. Okay. There it's gone. Okay. Yes, it's cool down now. No, it's back. Much better. Yeah. Okay. And my third takeaway. So like the idea, technology focus might be interesting. And my other thought here is that, hey, we should think through, or it would be good for us to think through who we might like to put partner with of the other six. And maybe we're at a joint blog at some point in time. Maybe that's, that's one towards the, the second half of the year. Right. So that's my thought. So I'm going to roll through this and maybe we make this fairly, fairly quick conversation here. And giving it a lot of this is listed. We're proposing schedule May, June, July, take off the summer, August, basically, and in September, October. We have six of these 2000, 250 to 1000 words, so one of four pages reading level, you know, we don't want this to be super in the weeds, but we also don't want it to be so high that it's devoid of context or context or interest from people here. And we already have two that we believe makes sense. The three of us, how different hyper-legit projects are using supply chain image and trade finance and Jeff has taken lead on that and our goal is to get that out in May. And then June, Alicia is taking the lead on this one. Why traceability is important because that's review that is kind of a fundamental aspect of leveraging blockchains in supply chain and trade finance. And then from that perspective, we can go to lots of different areas here, whether it's trade finance, AI and blockchain, blockchain and fraud, building on traceability. And in fact, okay, if you have traceability, what's that allow you to do? I think there's something kind of the one of the things I've seen and Alicia, Jeff, you probably have also most of the most successful blockchains seem to have had some interface, especially from a traceability perspective with some sort of sensor or IoT type devices. I don't think that stuff isn't in place or as part of the same project, it becomes very difficult to avoid the garbage in garbage out problem. Reliable. Yeah, that's probably a good way to use a good word to use also there. Although I was just talking with a plant manager actually a couple of weeks ago on a different topic and that person knew the garbage in garbage out problem. Excellent. He actually used the word. He was not a technical person. So anyways, other tech topics, other ideas. And if you look in the projects down below here, plain suggestions, Ned Thompson put something in about he's been dealing a lot with consortiums. He couldn't join us today. And so we'll go back to Ned and I think that could actually be a nice topic. What's the status of consortiums? Meryl, two weeks ago talked about her experiences. They actually kind of know how you say what, what didn't work with trade lens and contour. And what were some of the challenges still with existing Marco Polo. So, you know, having consortiums were all the rage a few years ago, it'd be good to kind of come back and say what's working, what's not. So I kind of like that, that kind of idea. So one of us, we'll have to go back to Ned and ask him to kind of butt this that up and then we can plan on that one here. So, so, so for you watching it on YouTube here, if you're interested in one of these topics, please get in touch with myself or Alicia or Jeff and we can, or just put it out on the web, be the wiki. We'll also be looking for folks to join us since it's always more fun to do these together and different ideas and diversity of thought, et cetera, et cetera. And clearly there should be some hyper ledger component of this here. And then we'll figure out how we share, share these blog entries out there. So that's, that's the story for right now. I think Alicia and Jeff, unless there's anything else that you guys have for thoughts right now, let's, I'm thinking we can kind of close out for right now. I think so. I mean, one thing I realized I need to add to the blog planning notes. I know we're reading level of 10th to 12th grade in there, but one other thing that we've discussed is that we want this for, we're thinking that the audience is professionals in business sector and also technology. Beautiful. That's a very important point. Yes, exactly. So not everyone will be appropriate. So we have a good audience there. So like that, I like that thought. Okay. Great. Thank you. Okay. Good. So with that, I will end the recording here. And folks, thanks for listening here. Thank you for joining us remotely or in person. And we look forward to the next session here on May 2nd, where Bobby mascara will be talking again about the giving chain. So and NFTs. So it's always interesting to hear about NFTs and what's happening with that. So with that, enjoy your rest of your day, enjoy your weekend and see you in a couple weeks.
