 Good morning everybody. We're just going to give it a few more minutes for people to get uh come on in. Hello Bobby. Hello, how are you? I'm good. What about you? How was your holiday weekend? Uh well it's it was um wonderful um it just the weather was perfect finally. We've had such cold and rainy spring um it was nice to have a weekend that was just nice to get out and garden and do that kind of and walk the dogs. That's great. It's like finally getting out of your winter um you know cocoon. Okay so can everybody see my screen? Yes we can. Perfect. Okay so um I'll give it till five after and then I'll just start the meeting. Okay we have a big crowd which is great today. I appreciate everybody coming. You have no idea. I got things a bit organized today um so we're going to get started in just one minute. Let's start it a little after nine. So if you're seeing my screen you're seeing the antitrust policy and they all are welcome in the hyper ledger community and a link to the code of conduct for hyper ledger. Please take a moment to review the information on your screen and just a reminder this call is recorded. So today for the agenda I don't want to jump too far ahead. I do want a chance to talk to everybody on the call so we're going to probably do that in a minute. We do have Min who is one of the hyper ledger community members and staff in charge of the mentorship program. I thought running one section of one one of the individual programs was overwhelming. I cannot imagine what Min is going through trying to manage all of these programs um but she's going to talk a little bit about that and we are going to chat about our role to assist the other mentees in the project. So again I'm going to turn it over to Min so that she can give us her information and get on her way. Hi Min. Hey Bobby. Hey everybody. Thank you very much for the opportunity to yeah just to say hello and see how this group and the the hyper ledger mentorship program and everybody involved in that program can collaborate together. Yeah not necessarily a presentation I don't have any slides prepared more sort of like to say hi and yeah just to see if there's any feedback from this group and how we can collaborate. Just as a little bit of background hyper ledger mentorship program this year we have 30 projects. We will have 30 mentees and probably 50 60 mentors in the program. This actually we just finished reviewing all the mentee applications who applied formally to our these projects in our program and this week we are sending out offer letters to the accepted mentees. Also this week we will also be opening up applications on LFX mentorship platform for 15 projects that are they're not in the mentorship program that we put them in the collaborative learning program so mentees will also have the opportunity to apply to these projects. The main difference is the mentorship program is a little bit more formal on the mentees who get accepted into the mentorship program they will receive a stipend for kind of the work and outcome that they deliver. For the collaborative learning program they all also have you know a project a defined project and already mentors who raise their hand to be willing to mentor. The structure will be a little bit less formal than the mentorship program and the mentees they will not receive a stipend so that's the main difference between these two programs. So this week we're doing offer letters to the accepted mentees for the mentorship program and next week we will be onboarding the mentees and any mentors who are who are available or interested in participating in that session they're welcome to join as well. In the last few years how I've done the it's a one-hour session where I kind of go through kind of the purpose of our mentorship program kind of review who is who you know introduce the staff who are the mentors for the mentees just to show kind of the cohort so that everybody get to know each other a little bit better and then we just kind of give a few tips and best practices expectations from both for mentors and mentees and then we go through kind of the logistics for the program from a you know what's what are the dates evaluation schedule and stipend process so more from a logistics perspective and also just some tips on you know if you're a mentor mentee in the haplogera community how you can showcase your contributions so some you know marketing related things that you can do right to raise your profile and visibility so that's kind of what I've done in the past but I'm really open to suggestions and feedback and also just you know obviously I do that one onboarding session but I understand you know learning is a continuous process you know should there be you know extra sessions or other paths that we kind of optimize that you know experience for mentees specifically and mentors as well so that's why I'm here to kind of you know listen and hear what this group how we can collaborate well thank you mean I have quick two comments the first thing is that I offered there's 17 people on the call and I think they're all staying for the entire summer for me to mentor this whole project kind of by committee and you'll see in a minute what we're talking about so I'm hoping that you know maybe we can fit them into that other program you were talking about maybe make a documentation section for that too so that it's a little bit more formal than me just saying yay I'll mentor you guys too that would be great for everybody on the call I think so the collaborative learning program yeah put a piece in there for all the because like there's 17 people on the call and they're you know that would be great if we could run it through something formal rather than just this documentation task force kind of theory yep so I just put the link there so in the chat so that's our collaborative learning program it's kind of an we're doing this for the first time piloting this this year it's really just to expand the number of new contributors receiving mentor and guidance to kind of you know enter the hypoallergic community and become a more productive active contributor and the project's already defined they kind of went through the same project proposal process so you can see if you go on the left hand side you'll see the I think we have 14 15 if I'm correct and we connected with the mentors they're willing to mentor so if you yeah so if you click on the left yep so those are a collaborative learning projects program the project scene the program so these projects we will be listing them on effects so you know then you can apply there as well so this is great and I want to just throw out one more offer we meet every Monday at this time and if anyone from any of the mentorship programs have any questions we also work on which I'm going to show you real quick in a second other things that will help them so you can kind of almost label the nine o'clock documentation called open hours if you want for people with questions through the summer if they need help just to put that out there yeah we'd love that's we are and this is why I'll explain in a second so we're responsible for as this task force slash mentorship program these four kind of buckets and all four of them need user guides which is another thing we're working on through the summer but the hub repository more has to do with a lot of the mentorship programs projects because when we're going through the mentorship applications these all had documentation pieces so we have a lot of volunteers who are on the call who want to help out with that and I was kind of thinking it was a little overwhelming for me to try to figure out how to assign by committee people to handle this and I had this epiphany over the weekend I think that it might and I want to throw it out there to get the consensus of the group in a bit but I think everyone should be assigned a project or a tool and try to figure out the documentation needs through the through what's existing and coming in through labs and mentorships for that project so obviously like fabric might have fabric has its own documentation subgroup so that would be like one person communicating with them and bringing the information back to our documentation group somebody would be assigned to firefly they would go to the firefly meetings and go through men's list of of mentorships and see if any of them use firefly and we'll need documentation and reach out to them so I'm going to probably hopefully if the group agrees assign someone to each project and tool that would be kind of their documentation specialist and we'd like to introduce that at your presentation say you know we are here to help you with your documentation needs we're going to give you suggestions on templates how to make your githubs and to read the docs that Hyperledger accepts you know what needs to be in your your lab github repository we have that template for you too that kind of information so we want to just two minutes in your meeting say somebody will be reaching out to your project and asking for your documentation needs but if you have any questions of us join the nine o'clock Monday call what do you think yeah that sounds like a good idea I'm happy to are you are you saying you you'll be willing to come to the mentorship onboarding session just for like a five minute oh we'll put together yeah our group will I'm sure there are people on this call who would love to make that presentation on behalf of the documentation task force so maybe we could put together a quick five minute slideshow just suggesting what we're you know offering to do to support all documentation needs in the community yeah that sounds yeah I'll reach out to you and we can coordinate the time and the materials and I'll coordinate the you know the presentation on this end yep sounds good okay and so just let us know when you think that is and I'll put it up on our page and we'll move from there sounds good it'll be some time next week so um you know we need to get a sense of um the confirmation acceptance confirmation this week uh no who will be you know the recipients or the calendar invitees for next week's call and then once I get that piece ready and I'll reach out to you so it'll be later this week that would be great does anybody else on the call have any questions for min or any questions about the mentorship program okay well thank you so much min for joining us of course yeah have a good day thank you okay so now we're going to get back to the call um does anybody have any questions of me about what just happened it's kind of like okay I'm volunteering everybody left and right okay so getting back to our call um here is welcome to introductions so let me just recap a little bit about what I said so right now what we're doing um and when you introduce yourself you yeah if you have any thoughts about um this just please bring them out um what we're trying to do is for the community obviously we need to have two presentations one is the mentorship which you heard is just going to be um to the group offering um and how we do that is up to us if we want to have six people present as representatives of a project or we'll we can talk about that um in due time but and then the TOC on June 15th or 22nd I think it's more the 22nd I have a feeling the TOC call is going to be canceled next week or this week so um just keep an eye out on those um and again when I was looking at our little buckets as I've been calling them I really couldn't figure out everybody's signing up for everything and I was like it's like blowing my mind to have to figure out how to do this and so I came up with this idea and I don't know if everybody you know wants it so again as the mentee I said I'm going to do the teach the teacher thing and one of the things I learned when I was getting my master's in education is the best way is to break up into subgroups so instead of doing our buckets I think it might be a good idea if we just do it around the projects so in other words we'll assign let's drop down the projects we'll assign someone or two people depending on how many we have or what the interest is in that particular project someone to each one of these projects and I'll pick up the slack in the mentor the mentee will pick up the slack for whoever doesn't sign up for one of the projects and what you will do as that project specialist so say for instance you become the basu you volunteer for basu the first thing you're going to do is you're going to go to the hyper ledger foundation and again in this community it's do first ask later so you're going to go to the calendar of public meetings and you're going to find the basu meeting you could also have gone right to their project page it's probably let's do that that's probably way easier you would go to their project page I'm on and find out you know go to their discord that's the best way discord is the best way go to their disc we have a discord channel they have a discord channel go to the discord channel and introduce yourself say I am on the documentation I'm a mentee for the documentation task force Bobby sent me over here we want to know what you know how we can help you with your documentation as a task force we are not asking any project to go back and redo their documentation we're just offering to fill whatever gaps they might have and offer templates for moving forward and best practice guidelines user guides for moving forward to make their jobs easier so they can stick to developing new projects as opposed to writing about them so that's our goal so you would just probably join this or find out when their meetings are maybe hop on their repositories make suggestions keep all your work on your workspace that you created but that's what I'm suggesting and right now I'm going to go back to our page why don't I have that much easier and ask people as they introduce themselves so that's the first thing so it's that and the presentations that's coming up so as I go down the list for introductions if you have a project you're interested in or a tool or a library that you want to assist with documentation by doing a fact finding please let me know but right now I'm going to go through the introductions and we'll start alphabetically with Agnes do I need to share my video um no no no not at all just introduce yourself where you're from and like why you're where your interests are or if you've been working on something in this task force what you've been working on okay that caught me off good it happens a lot so my name is Agnes I'm from Kenya Nairobi I have never done any project this big is gonna be my first time so I think I'm going to have to go look at the projects and figure out what looks interesting from what I can learn yeah so I spend a lot of time writing some tutorials blogs around technology some bits of time coding learning yeah so I'm here to learn as much as I can and contribute as well and I hope to learn from all of you thank you yeah thank you we will have a huge need for technical we're not technical writers but writers to help with the user guides to support all of our efforts so thank you and welcome aboard um again I'm gonna Akanasha please correct me oh yeah it's a concha a concha I'll get it right one day a concha yeah no problem so hello everybody so it's been a long time now I think so that I've been a part of this team because I've been attending the calls like since like almost after it started this last month itself and since then I've been like understanding and working on the documentation and the onboarding part of the hyper ledger and I have been interested in both of the projects and I would love I love to collaborate with all of you to work on the documentation project and since we have them such an amazing mentor like Bobby Mam so I don't think it would be of much problem because she is so she just formulates everything so making it easy for everyone and other than that I have some I have experience in technical writing since I have written some of the search papers which have been published and I am also a front-end developer and I would love to collaborate with all of you this summer and work on documentation and make this project a success that's all I have to say thank you so much Arunama yeah so hello everyone my name is Arunama Chaudhary and I am from India I just graduated this month and after that I will be joining my master's program at Tripolite Bangalore and I am a part of this community since the last one month and I have been attending calls I must say I have learned a lot from here so it started with I have been previously a blockchain intern at Polana Labs so that's how my journey and interest with knowing more about blockchain started and when I got to know that hyperlature is participating in the Olympics program I applied and I started interacting with the community more and yeah I learned a lot from here I made a lot of new people here some of them I've connected I have connected with them on LinkedIn as well so it's a it's a great feeling to be a part of this community and yeah as Akanksha said we will collaborate and you know make this project a success thank you so much thank you so much and I just wanted to extend our deepest sympathies our thoughts and prayers are with you for the horrible train accident in your country just just awful awful yeah yes it happened at a place very nearby to where I am staying so and even my roommate is from that place so I was very afraid that if like a lot of people have died so I can feel that it's it's really very sad you'll see something happening so sorry yeah okay so back to business and thank you for being on board Daniel okay hi everyone my name is Daniel I'm from Nigeria and no doubt this is really a massive project and it's really my first time getting involved in a project like this so personally I'm open to any of the projects and I can't speak for now but I'm open to any of the projects and I'm ready to dive in thank you awesome thank you Ishan hello everyone I'm Shan so yeah this is on my first documentation task first of all but yeah I'd like to introduce myself again to everyone who I'm on this phone so I'm Ishan I'm a computer science undergraduate currently in my second year and yeah I live in Pune India and that is it I'm very excited for this project great people great mentors and yeah looking forward to get along with everyone yeah welcome and Ezra hello I'm Ezra I'm from Kenya a blockchain developer cryptographer and the project I might be interested in there I parade down on my presidential switches where they feel I'm more interested awesome and what I might do for people to get a better idea of the projects and tools if we have time at the end after I do the things that we need to get done I might just go over the projects and tools very quickly with you to give you an idea of what they are so that if you want to pick one to help with the documentation and then come back to the group and teach us about it that would be great um so let's move on um Frank I just talked to Frank this morning he was so so patient with me with the interviews okay I'm Frank Joseph and I'm a software developer and a technical writer and I have an I I know how to use the doc as code and process I think I've used that to contribute to open source projects so this is my first time like like to say very new course I really do not know the projects that I'm available to select from yeah but I want to be a part of the community and then see how I can contribute to make this a success also thank you I'm based in Nigeria legacy welcome Frank glad you joined us um Gianluca yes hi I'm Gianluca I'm a software engineer from from Italy also have a PhD in artificial intelligence but I'm fascinating doc chain and also in open source so as well so I love to contribute and join to this project I apologize again welcome thank you thank you good job hello everyone I'm Kajal I'm from India and currently I'm working on the like a GitHub template and best practices the two tasks of the documentation task force and like previously I have done a open source contribution in our documentation and technical writing and I'm also an Android developer so I'm looking forward to learn from this project thank you thank you for joining us um and Perran hi everyone my name is Karan Gaurama and I hail from sport city of India which is known as Jalanda so I have been enuring in computer science from north India and I have been a part of hyper legit community since 2019 and I have been organizing virtual events and physical events for hyper legit community and actively part of the hyper legit Indian chapter for attending weekly meetings to empower our community now coming to the documentation task force I think through this project not only I will know about the documentation task force and hyper legit projects but also improve my leadership skills through this mentorship program so thank you so much thank you again I appreciate everybody who's on the call um Malcolm hey good morning everybody my name is Malcolm Connor uh a little background on me I started learning about blockchain technology in about 2018 with bitcoin um that's also when I started really learning programming and coding um I learned a lot of different languages like cc sharp python sql and etc um 2019 I got more into python machine learning and data science uh then I got my first position in data analytics after that it was my first program position um around the pandemic in 2020 um then uh after that uh I went into learning about ethereum more and about I guess the end of 2020 started learning about ethereum um deployed a couple of test net projects on polygon um did some web three tutorials did some tutorials on smart contract security um then I got into more into nfts and learned about ethereum is what got me into hyper ledger I know that the hyper ledger bsue project is uh one of the projects that are uh connect to ethereum so um read a book or two on hyper ledger did a tutorial through uh the bs code extension um and uh fell in love with the technology uh currently taking a hyper ledger course on edx and uh using this uh mentorship program to not only um bolster my programming expertise but also to get some experience with um contributing to open sources as well so I'm really looking forward to working with you all and looking forward to uh learning from you all as well great welcome aboard um who's next uh prachaya uh ma'am my engineering connection is pretty unstable I might drop off I'll try to rejoin in a minute will that be fine that's fine okay thank you uh and again I have to apologize I'm from New Jersey and I have the worst jersey accent so if I'm butchering your names it's not on purpose I'm trying I'm really trying it's completely my my New York accent is betraying me uh seheal this is hello hello folks my name is Sahil I've been contributing to open source projects since over a year particularly in documentation and uh this this way I've learned a lot and I would uh I'm looking forward to contribute in hyper ledger as it's a blockchain uh organization and using blockchain technologies to make some really good stuff that's it so what what I think is uh Bobby Bobby was trying to explain that uh in this project under this project there are different hyper ledger progress so we can choose any one of these projects to work under right correct so I was thinking that I am very familiar with python so and I also walked under python for documentation so I would like to understand first that in this project if you go down there's a drop down button so what what are what are these incubating graduated and project documentation what are those we're going to go over that more yeah I'm realizing that everybody needs that so I'm going to go over that in the next few minutes um so I will definitely do that thank you uh trip tour hi Bobby hi everyone my name is tripper and I'm from India pink city Rajasthan and I'm in my last year and I always wanted to contribute in open source so this year I think they took the initiative and started with it and I'm I'm always interested in blockchain and I got my first internship through open source actually and that's how I'm making my way in the industry I am a technical writer and a researcher and currently working on a blockchain based paper and it's about social media and how we are going to integrate it with the blockchain what it will like how it will be more beneficial and about all that stuff and Bobby I want to ask one question can I like tell you about the project that I want to choose right now yeah of course so um I yesterday I attended the meeting of Soland and I get to know nice as Bobby suggested to go around and like attend the meeting when say her name like she sent me and I can attend any meeting so I did I had to be advice and I landed on a Soland meeting and I really liked the product and what is happening in the team and they were all like very welcoming they entertained all my questions so if like I want to suggest that I want to go with the Soland project awesome yeah thank you so much for doing that and Victoria hello everyone today I'm Victoria from Nigeria I'm so happy to be here to be part of this huge project I'm a software developer and a technical writer I look forward to meeting amazing personalities hey thank you so much for you thank you let's see if that worked of course not it's too easy um okay so that's great that everybody's here and that some people I don't want to miss out anyone so I'm just going to do this hold on a second because again I'm not I have to write things down and also I can't keep track of them um and this was so lame so now what I was saying it would be probably the best thing for everybody involved if they picked a project so again a lot of people are new to the community and they're like what are you talking about pick a project so I'm going to explain it to you so I write the tech I write the edX courses for the Linux Foundation for Hyperledger and there's a new course coming out called Hyperledger um and this is going to be part of that course if you want it's a free course go take it it's I just finished it I think it's great but you know whatever you think anyway so I'm going to start with this picture up here if you can see it this is what's called the blockchain tech stack again this is my opinion of what is the blockchain tech stack and the first is the protocol layer which is the blockchain itself the distributed ledger the next is the consensus layer which is the mechanism that they use to come to agreement as to the state of the ledger the next is the data whether it's security data whether it's off-chain on-chain data data storage in the cloud off the cloud where are you going to put the data that supports this blockchain the next is logic the smart contracts how are you going to get this data to dance what are you going to do to it to get it to do what you want it to do and then finally is the application layer the layer that we see or we use and I'm always going to refer back to a project for an example the giving chain which if you want to see what I've been up to in the community it's www.thegivingchain.org I've tried to do a community social impact project I've used sawtooth I've used firefly still up in the air as to what's next but it's an interesting project and we built all these layers which was really fun working through it so as you see any project you try to figure out what layer it's in so the distributed layer ledgers that are in graduated status are these so I'm just going to put this graph back so now it's in size so first we're going to go over the first one which is hyper ledger fabric and that was the first one that came out and it was offered by IBM it was with sawtooth as the beginning as you can see here for the fabric information it is a graduated Linux foundation project open source with an Apache license this is the best practice badge which our group will have to deal with this over here document passing we need to make sure everybody in the community knows what those documents are and what they need to look like to pass but anyway so the current releases of fabric here are links to them it's two five here is the code based languages for fabric so if you code and go that's a project that maybe you'd understand here's a history on the contributors we're not going to go over that too much if you click this graphic which isn't very clear in my screen you can move move anyway you can kind of see IBM is still the main contributor for fabric but you can see this and this is also in the community somewhere we should just sorry about that okay I'm playing with my screen so that's fabric and fabric is basically a permission for consortium it offers member services in other words in order to do fabric you have to have your identity defined you have to have what channels your organization can play around in and what smart contracts they can see what smart contracts they can use consensus is decided by the group and the models are plug-and-playable so you can take out switch your consensus models without having to interfere with your entire network here are some of the components they offer peers which is different people who have rights you can be an endorsing peer you can be someone who is committing the transactions to the ledger peer there's all kinds of roles and that's just basically the workflow of fabric so if you're familiar with fabric or want to get to know it and this is the place to go now down at the bottom here if you go to the fabric wiki page this is where I got all this information you can click and see what their current documentation is you can see what their GitHub repository looks like YouTube videos on it wiki pages websites and discord again if you want to pick this project to help them out with our documentation efforts which there's a lot of sub projects in the mentorship project for for fabric like different pieces of it go to the discord introduce yourself and do a trip or to just join the call and say hey bobby sat me we're on the documentation we're here to support you we need to know you know the status of your you know documentation you know whatever the community is looking for help so no one's going to say oh my god they're here they're going to be thank you you're here so that's fabric and i'm going to do this quick just to give people an idea and that's a case study on fabric which is if you haven't seen this case study it's walmart there was poison in the food it took walmart three weeks to figure out what farm it came from before blockchain now with blockchain if there's a disease any kind of food board disease they can figure out what farm it came to and shut it down within three seconds so that is one of the use cases that is still working and then again here's sawtooth it's a graduated project same licensing same things here's its latest release it's written in rust and python so if you're used to those languages this is something you'd understand in the control in the command line what this is more for is supply chain so it gets a lot of different people involved in transporting goods and services the first time we wrote the giving chain we wrote it on sawtooth and bitwise in the linux foundation and ruckers university and excenture are big contributors to this project and this is just this quarters contributors um if you dive into the project page you'll see that there's more than just these these are just the people who've been working on it this past quarter again key components you can take the class it's up on edx complimentary here's kind of the sawtooth workflow and then again links for the sawtooth deep dot can be found on that wiki page and they did a medical control they're controlling your um electronic health records so there's only some things in your electronic health records you want people to see um sawtooth is also used to uh the providence of medicines to make sure that you are getting the correct medication and it was transported in the proper temperatures in the proper way indy the new one the buzz one indy is the identity management and with i triply i saw somebody when i was going over resumes had worked with i triply this would be a great project to you to attach to um indy is um again the dlt aries is the um data piece the wallet piece for it it used to have indy which was the security piece but more people wanted to use indy outside i mean i'm sorry ursa was a security piece more people wanted to use ursa outside of indy so ursa now became a um deprecated project and um the components of ursa are being added to um different projects as code base to make it more available um so indy has um like if you're doing indy you might as well do aries too or team up with someone who's doing aries too because they kind of go together um and indy is third release is one one um and it's rust and python as well uh major contributors again are a lot of identity uh foundations and this is just this quarter um so that's definitely a project to watch because um identifying yourself on a blockchain is usually the first step especially in our enterprise environment um it talks about dids or the decentralized identifier identifiers um in my opinion here's a summation of iEEE what they're trying to do for identity on blockchain and internet management is just like if someone in the united states uh wants to get a phone call you dial one which tells people it's the united states and then if you do the next area code which 609 is new jersey um if you see 609 you know it's new jersey then the extension the next three numbers are my town and the last four numbers is my personal phone well they're trying to get that kind of standard like we have for the phone for identity so the first piece would be like the type of identifier it is the next piece would be who issued it that kind of thing so they're working on trying to get the standards for identity in place before too many people are using it um and verifiable credentials the whole um trust triangle where you get an issuer you're the holder of your identity certificate so if you want to verify your diploma or your medical record you no longer need to contact your old school or your doctor you own it you can supply it share it any way you want with your identity wallet um and again here's the information um about indy if you want to go you can just get it off the wiki page and their use case is the verifiable network which is a british um columbia sort of um looking for the word um ranking of businesses so that you know you're actually using a correct business and that they've been certified through the state or country um again a roe hot is um for easy mobile application development um it's a graduated project same um stuff it's more written in c plus plus um which is is great for people who are using c plus plus um its contributors are uh sorry moto from um a long time intel is another one um so this is an interesting project too it's easy to develop in other words if you want to do mobile apps um it's it's out of the box kind of mobile development um and again information for indy or i'm sorry a roe hot can be found on their page so finally the newest basu and in my opinion the most interesting is the one that crosses over into the public domain um it uses the ethereum virtual machine it bridges can tokenize can use nfts can do all that fun stuff that um ethereum does in a permissioned environment um so the latest release of that and the new um standard for i think this is an nft kind of standard where you can build in um royalties for the creator um and again this is a java based program language code it's by consensus in the ethereum foundation um again consensus is the biggest contributor um and this is kind of what um it does uh you can also um go get more information on basu here um again so that's basu now the tools kind of work off that we don't have time to do the tools today uh oh show a hand who wants to do the tools or who wants to just talk about the task force in the chat show of hands so the first uh raise your hand if you want to do the tools okay so i only saw four hands for the tools um so let me go back to the task force meeting and show signups and stuff and then if we have time we'll do the tools so again here is our page for our documentation um come on save it save it save it i'm waiting for it to look back um our documentation task force it's linked on the mentorship if you go there that way i'll also everybody probably has it because you put your your name under the mentorship if you don't have a work page please grab one it's a great way for me to know um if you are interested in attaching to a project and don't want me to assign one to you just kidding i'd love to see everybody um put their name here and what all you have to do this week is an assignment for for this if you want to again it's completely optional is go to the calendar of public meetings find a call this week that interests you we didn't really even talk about the special interest groups those are consortiums of people building solutions on these tools we could use it uh someone in there to find their documentation needs to the one i suggest because it affects every single person on this call is the carbon accounting and certification work group any help we can give them please join their group please spread the word it is important um other than that there's healthcare today a non-creds that is the new um kind of where ursa wound up in a in a project so that's an interesting brand new project um if you get in on that one you're not late for the game on that one because it just started a few weeks ago um cat this is the interoperability tool trying to make all these blockchains talk to each other um that's one of the tools this is a lab so this isn't even a project yet if you're interested in new stuff we also are supporting the lab efforts um so that's something to keep in mind and again uh we've already been we've already had a representative on the so-lang call um so again all these calls are here just join one say i sent you you're here to get some documentation information firefly is another great call that's blockchain as a service that was the second time we did the giving chain we used firefly um and again more than welcome to come to the toc calls those are more the hyperledger management calls um everybody's welcome so getting back that's how you join one of those calls oh that was our collaborative learning that's not what i want this and what i've also done so again we also will be working over the summer um on the documentation um issues so i gave a page to each one of these um issues so for instance best practices has a link to a survey i created asking you where you're from if you're interested in best practices um this is not the best practices task force or mentorship this is just the documentation piece for best practices um where you're from and what what time the call would be best for you um and i'll show you what this trello is this is where each group subgroup and committee will keep track of their work again i'm going to teach a new software programs this is a free program everyone can can download it i use it personally um and professionally what is going on maybe i'll show that to you in another time i don't want to log into trello right now um maybe i'll show that to you guys tomorrow or next week um when i have it more down pat anyway so trello is a board where we keep track of our tasks um and i'll show that to you as soon as i can um and then the same thing with github if you're interested in working with the make the docs read the docs and the github repository as well as attaching to a project please sign up for your time zone um i will try to get to the invite i thought this was an invite to the trello workspace you just might have to log in and then you'll be at the workspace and put your name down um here templates we're going to be revisiting and rewriting the the templates for the community whether it be uh white papers use cases again time zone here's a google doc i think i'm on edit that's not going to work i'm on edit okay that didn't work all right i have to go back in and put the um link to the documentation committee survey for everyone i will get that done by the end of the day um so that link will be instead of to edit the survey will be to take the survey and i did the same thing for onboarding and i added two because people are going to have to write user guides and we're going to have to have a workspace for the presentation so our first presentation again is going to be to the mentees um coming up next week and that's just going to be you know if you want to go look at those projects and attach yourself like if you're fabric saying oh there's three projects that are going to have fabric i want to do a slide at the mentorship program to introduce myself to those fabric people and say hi my name is bobby and i'm going to be doing um documentation um and helping you out through your project for your documentation needs here's my email let me connect with you on discord whatever however you want to you know get that connection going um but those are the two presentations coming up so again it's all about signing up for stuff this week um i'd appreciate if that is what happens so before i've talked for an hour which i didn't really plan on doing i'm going to ask if there's any questions we can do the tools next week oh i have a chat um oh thank you Malcolm on the edX course i appreciate the uh post it blog it tell everyone it's a great course use my name um all right so it is five more minutes i guess i can show you the tools just to give you a little familiarity before you go please can you i just want to reiterate some of the things you said so that there will be clarity on what we're supposed to do next if that's fine with you that's perfect okay okay go ahead yeah uh first uh i think one of the first things you want us to do is to indicate uh which of these options will be working with get all the templates the onboarding is that correct correct okay so we had to click on any of the options and um add our details if i if that's is that it correct for instance that's okay we add our details here then we open the form to freely to align on the meeting times correct but i have to fix the form because it says edit and i have to get it so you're taking it and not editing it okay got it so we have to wait a few maybe in an hour or two exactly yeah yeah exactly now the second thing i get from this meeting is it'll be easier why don't we could just do this okay i'm just gonna do this it might be so much easier yep yeah i think that's makes it yeah and again these are just eastern daylight times is because that's where i am and i apologize for being so centered um but just put your time down down in eastern so we can get an idea and there's going to be four different and we'll focus on an actual two o'clock three you know whatever that means when we get more people so just put your preference down to one of the five and i mean morning being like eastern time eight a.m to eleven afternoon is kind of or i'm sorry till noon and then afternoon is like noon to three mid-afternoon is like three to six early evening is like six to eight and late evening is like eight to eleven so if you have a preference for those put your time down down um so i am eastern daylight time and i would prefer uh morning now okay so instead of going to the survey we can just do that instead what's it thank you for bringing that up so yes i want you to do that but you're kind of signing up for two areas this area with the best practices and the and the github stuff is going to take off a little later but getting familiar with a project is going to happen first so back on the documentation task force page is where you could so you're kind of signing up for two things that interest you um everybody should be familiar with one of the projects or tools and then focus in on the documentation task force so here i'm going to put um next week we'll even add a time for uh like the teacher the teacher kind of thing where you report back um so you'll tell us what the call was about and what their documentation needs or just that you attended it and kept quiet that's fine too i mean you don't have to be loud and boy you can just listen to the call so you know i'm just here to listen and they'll that's fine too so okay so when you drop when you drop down the projects just pick from one of these choices okay yeah got it so i take it the priority is for us to get familiar with the projects and pick which project will be interested yes and put your name here and the project you're interested in and then try to attend a call go to that you know calendar or public meetings and see when they meet and join a convenient call all the calls are open to everyone all the time so don't be afraid to join a call does anybody else have any more questions uh yeah i had a question i had to ask like uh when we like to get the mentors for onboarding things since we're managing the documentation part i had some like doubts regarding onboarding part so uh john i'm not running the mentorship for onboarding and my onboarding task force is again um this is the information for the onboarding task force that i'm helping out with the toc this is not the mentorship program for onboarding the mentorship program for onboarding has a lot to do with developing the website and all that stuff um that's why i just wanted to ask like this is the call right where the that will be discussed or there will be another link yes but john um carpenter is not here today okay okay so from next week he'll be joining or like yes and if not i'll find out information for you on the onboarding task force and the onboarding mentorship program again our job for onboarding is there's six spots the community joins hyper ledger whether it's the discord the linkedin the website the wiki there's two more linkedin and and github and there's four personas we need as our task force we need to supply the information so that everything those four personas need is two clicks away user got whatever they need and we have to determine what they need so that's our job this summer is trying to figure out what user guides those four personas need on those six locations okay okay i got it so like uh since you said like we have to choose a project so can we choose documentation with onboarding yeah no no choose a project what what i mean by that is um as um you've just joined the hyper ledger community and you're going to be working with with hyper ledger on suggesting that you get familiar with one of the projects and the only way to do that is attend one of the calls and then if you do that you can come back to the documentation task force and say i attended the basu call and they have a real need for templates for their documentation they were complaining the whole time you come back and tell us that or you go to fabric and you say fabric doesn't need any documentation they have their own task force we should use them as a model that kind of information okay okay i got it now i got it thank you so and no worries and then so here on this page is where we would know who's gone to what call so you would put uh your name the project whether it's a special interest group whether it's a tool a library or one of the dlt's put the name of it here and the date you attended the call and that whether you're willing to tell us what you learned about their documentation anybody else have any we're a few minutes over so i was wondering if anybody else had any more questions go ahead victoria okay so um my question is um is there like a guide where we can go to like for now you say we can sign up for best practices github templates onboarding user guides and presentation so is there like a um like a guide or somewhere we can go and say okay this is what we are to do even if i sign up for best practices is what i'm going to do for throughout the summer if i sign up for onboarding what i'm going to do throughout the summer like is there something like that so we can and then um sorry is there um can we is there a limit to what we can do like if you're signing up for best practices can we also sign up for um github something like that the only thing i ask um is that uh if you sign up for something you complete it so for instance if we have sign ups next week for the presentation for men and you sign up to do a slide um to support the mentees um who are working with fabric that you do do the slide so if you sign up for 20 things and don't accomplish any of them that's no good but if you sign up for two things and accomplish two things that's fabulous so it's up to you how much work you want to do i the first time i signed up in the community i almost worked full time for six months complimentary it was a college education for me i learned so much that's why i did it and now i teach it um so you'll get again whatever you put in is what you'll get out uh let me go to the dashboard again so each if you go to your lfx mentorship dashboard each project has um oh i'm in github well hyperledger has a github and all of the information you were asking on the task courses which have been running under the toc for months even before the mentorship program you can just and all the project reports for every project is here so every quarter they report to the toc you can read what they reported um governing documents where's task forces where's our task forces okay so here's the task forces i can put the um what they're working on so you can just scroll through the hyperledger toc github repository that's one way to do it you can look at the mentorship program again i was running the onboarding task force and again i was just looking at the documentation piece of it the onboarding task force has a lot to do with doing the interfaces for those six spots that people come on like what the buttons will look like we're kind of supporting the user guides for those buttons if that helps you but again you can always go to the wiki page which that's a old wiki page and the task forces um are here on the wiki page so you can search them here and you can get their links um the search button is great so that if that helps you answer your question victoria anybody else have any more questions and by the way this is the learning materials working group the old um archived working group here's the templates that need to be revised thank you your blog basis excuse me i said a quick one i have a very quick question go ahead allow to collaborate absolutely this is our group we can do whatever we want i am not in charge i'm just facilitating you guys can offer the discord again i'm not a huge fan of discord but let's go there use the discord channel for meetings if you want if you need a zoom link meeting reach out to me and i'll send you one but discord you can just do meetings on impromptu um and let me see if i can just drop the link to the discord in the chat if that helps yeah if you reach out to someone um on this call and say even in the chat right now you want to hook up later and talk about doing basu or whatever we have oh the old working group is still there uh we have a task force again these are where you can talk to reach out and talk to everyone on all of these um there's all the labs it's it's a fabulous discord if i can find where i'm going would even be better okay uh what i'm asking is because i have a suggestion i think that's to everybody here maybe except for you baby perhaps uh that apps uh we should take time to look through the projects then maybe we should meet then we should pair ourselves to help us a little bit more of a peer learning kind of system where we can agree okay oh i understand this project better okay i prefer this project then we'll split ourselves into different projects and we kind of hold ourselves accountable for respective projects and documentation going forward i don't know if that makes sense to anybody yeah that's exactly what this sign up is trying to accomplish let me show you so once next week we meet every monday at the same time at nine o'clock so next week i'm going to see here and i'm going to see if there's three people who have so long they're going to be together if there's three people with basu they're going to be grouped together so that's what we'll worry about next week but this this week is just try to find the project that interests you sit in it on a call and see if that's the one you want to learn about i mean you're here to learn definitely about the projects and hyper ledger and you're going to learn them through the lens of documentation but everybody should learn about a project i don't want you to be able to code that project i just want you to be able to discuss it intelligibly to the group okay no worries got it and if you can code that project even better all right well everybody have a nice week if you have any questions please i will check the discord if that's a convenient way of discussing and try to fill out your email addresses because that's the best way i guess for people to if not discord to reach out to each other if you want to work together and fill out this table i'll actually put a title on it we'll call it project research come on there you go so so fill out what what project you want to do some research on this summer and learn about um and then again we will break people out into groups once we figure out um where each person's project focuses and again if you have any work you want to do or want to contribute if you have an idea for the presentation for min or a presentation for the toc as to what we're going to be working on this summer go to this page and and drop some slides in drop some stuff in again do the work ask later we uh this is our group and how successful we're going to be um at the global forum presenting this or wherever we're going to wind up presenting this um is as much as you know we get involved so again i want to see if just logging into trello works because this is a very cool management program let me see if i log in if it works and again i have a personal trello page um it is the best thing for um managing my life so i have a hyper ledger documentation committee page each group has a card or each group has a bucket i call it and you can add a card so if we were working on fabric suggestions we can put uh labels we can put um different information on the card people's names and then you can also have uh move it into um different sections so working on completed so we can keep track of your hours um so this is a great again i'm just starting to set this up for us um but i'll have this working so that everyone will be able to get at this if you're working on something you completed it you would just move it over to completed um i'll give you a little tutorial next week on how that works so that's coming up next week for to manage us a little bit better um so again have a good week and i will talk to everyone um on monday if not sooner all right bobby thank you so bye have a nice day you too thank you bye bye all right thank you bye folks
