Discussion notes, key understandings, outstanding questions, observations, and, if appropriate to this discussion: action items, next steps:
During Hyperledger AMA session the Hyperledger staff, David Huseby, Ry Jones and Marta Geater-Piekarska answered questions from participants all around Hyperledger and the Linux Foundation. These ranged from basic ones, like what does Hyperledger do and differences between projects we host, through some requests to dive deeper in specific projects all the way to very detailed discussion on contribution pathways.
Some key takeaways:
- Hyperlegder is an Open Source project within the Linux Foundation. Hyperledger is an open source community focused on developing a suite of stable frameworks, tools and libraries for enterprise-grade blockchain deployments. It is a global collaboration, hosted by The Linux Foundation, and includes leaders in finance, banking, Internet of Things, supply chains, manufacturing and Technology. Built under technical governance and open collaboration, individual developers, service and solution providers, government associations, corporate members and end users are all invited to participate in the development and promotion of these game-changing technologies.
- Similar to The Linux Foundation, Hyperledger has a modular approach to hosting projects. The Hyperledger greenhouse hosts developing business blockchain projects from Hyperledger Labs (seed) to stable code ready for production (fruition). All are invited to contribute to the greenhouse; collectively advancing industry goals of distributed ledger and smart contracts.
There are many ways to contribute - you can look through contribution guides to work to help with the code, as well as helping with documentation, translations, and participating in Special Interest and working groups.
Some of the helpful links that we shared:
- Take a look at our Blockchain Showcase and if you are interested in being listed, please submit your solution for consideration
- Review our sector Special Interest Groups (SIGs), these are great forums to share your ideas and work and to get feedback from the community. Jump into these SIGs and start participating and please reach out to the SIG chairs if you are interested in presenting
- Global Meetups- Join and participate in over 170+ global developer meetups, our global community is always looking for builders to present their solutions, in person and virtually as well
- Hyperledger developer community events- regular gatherings for developers working on different projects. If you are able, signup to mentor new developers into our community!
- Sign up for the Hyperledger Monthly newsletter for the latest updates across the community.
