R3’s Corda Platform:  A technical introduction (Richard Brown)

• Announced this AM that Corda will be open sourced under Apache 2 on November 30th, with desire to contribute to Hyperledger for consideration for incubation.

• Corda Introduction to Hyperledger TSC

• Recording of the full overview and discussion

• Please post all questions and comments to hyperledger-tsc@...

Numbering scheme for HIP (Vipin)

• wiki.hyperledger.org/community/proposals

• It says that every project that it is incubated or considered would have a number assigned to it, much like numbers assigned to BIP or EIP where there are large numbers of proposals or projects incubated.

• Somebody needs to assign these numbers, then we can have a better catalog of what is going on, easier to navigate and find, at least on top-level.

• CF:  trying to have all proposals added to wiki… then update to indicate status (reviewed, approved, etc.) and linking to meeting minutes.

• Vipin:  Number is in template, this is not a new thing.

• CF:  Right, maintaining editorial oversight.

• Arnaud:  Understand numbering scheme to force organization… but, it is just another piece of info that you have to keep track of.  Can we better organize on wiki instead of doing numbering?

• Vipin:  just following good practices that we’ve seen on other projects.  Path towards a process.

• Jared:  supportive of this, we seem to be saying the same thing.  There are a list of proposals, this is just bookkeeping.  This makes it unique and unambiguous.

Incident procedure in code of conduct (Arnaud)

• https://wiki.hyperledger.org/community/hyperledger-project-code-of-conduct

• LF is advocating reuse of our Code of Conduct in other LF projects to have one standard CoC across LF projects. One project raised concern over the Incident procedure that I think is worth discussing. The issue has to do with the use of a mailing list to report abuse. The point (I think rightly) was made that this could discourage reporting and that it would be better to point to specific people instead.

• For additional background you can check the issue that was raised in the CNCF project:

• https://github.com/cncf/foundation/issues/2#issuecomment-249247581

• Mike Dolan:  For most of other code of conducts, we do identify specific individuals, as they understand how to handle anything that arises (and it is transparent who someone is connecting with).

• Discussion ensued leading to the outcome that Arnaud will work with Mike Dolan to identify 1-2 individuals to get listed in the Hyperledger code of conduct.
