Key Points

  1. Meetup events are virtual online events
  2. Hosted by the Boston Meetup with invitations to other Meetup groups to participate
  3. Meetings use either the Hyperledger Meetup Zoom account or the Boston Meetup Zoom account
  4. Recordings and presentation links are posted to the Meetup page, this wiki and youtube
  5. Some limitations on MACOS for Google Docs Confluence integration - works perfect in Windows on setup

Virtual Online Meeting

Indicio Identity Network based on Hyperledger Indy, Aries

https://www.meetup.com/Hyperledger-Boston/events/272802570/


Description of presentation:
For the past three years, the Hyperledger Indy, Ursa, and Aries communities have helped drive the course of decentralized identity innovation, and with it, grown the community by tenfold. More developers, engineers, and companies are becoming interested in building decentralized identity solutions and seeking out ways to manage the ‘new normal’ brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. Touchless, private, and secure interactions are now driving tech and decentralized identity offers a way to build that new, better normal. At Indicio.tech, we've created our own iteration of Hyperledger Indy, and created the Indicio TestNet. This network is available for all to build decentralized identity, and self-sovereign identity solutions on. Our experienced, expert operations team provides urgent hands-on support for testing proof of concept and pilot projects, while professionally maintaining the network, that is open and free for all to use. 
Our website about Indicio TestNet, Node Operator.
Speaker: Ken Elbert, CTO of indicio.tech
Prior to his role as CTO at Indicio.tech, Ken was the Sovrin Foundation Software Architect and Open Standards Engineer providing improved functionality and interoperability, such as rich schema support for the Sovrin ecosystem, while also editing community efforts to build and deploy the software. He was focused on open standards, such as the Verifiable Credentials and DID specifications, and promotion of the adoption of and compliance with standards at Sovrin. He is currently working on Verifiable Credentials standards work and Architect for rich schemas.

Key Questions

who are the members?

who would be interested in hlf programs in Boston?

where is the best location for meetups?

can I use GForms for surveys?

what are key tech topics for 2020?

what are key business topics for 2020?


Key Concepts


I have rebooted the Hyperledger Meetup. We're planning 4 sessions quarterly next year. I'm working with Thomas Hardjono who is the identity and trust systems expert at MIT to plan sessions.

The location will either be MIT Media Lab or District Hall in Seaport.

I will run the meetings on Zoom as well so we can have remote attendees.

I'm sure we will cover Fabric v.2x at one of our meetings in 2020.

Thanks

Jim

m200421  - Gari Singh - Hyperledger Enterprise Blockchain Opportunities 


Speaker   Gari Singh

https://hgf18.sched.com/speaker/garisingh


IBM

Blockchain CTO


As a Distinguished Engineer and the CTO of IBM Blockchain, Gari Singh has provided the technical guidance and leadership that has made IBM a leader in the blockchain space. He is responsible for IBM's core blockchain platform offerings. Gari is also a core maintainer and contributor to Hyperledger Fabric, an open source blockchain technology designed to meet the needs of businesses.
Potential topics to touch on:
  • Anything you think is important
  • Hyperledger Fabric Concepts
  • Hyperledger Fabric Key Features Summary 
  • Hyperledger Fabric Value Proposition
  • IBM Blockchain Concepts
  • IBM Blockchain Features
  • IBM Blockchain Value Proposition
  • Key Use Cases and Solutions
  • Recommended Next Steps
Hi Gari,
It was great to see you in Phoenix.
Your session on decentralized control with IBM Blockchain was excellent.
If you're willing, I'd like to do an online Zoom meeting for the Boston Hyperledger Meetup in the 2nd half of April.
I think that will give attendees time to adjust their own schedules to the "new normal" and provide time to promote the session properly.
David Boswell at Hyperledger said he will work to promote the session as well once we have details set.
Let me know if there is an evening on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday that would work for you ( 4/21 - 4/23 or 4/28 - 4/30 ).
My thought would be to start the meeting at 7 pm.
The Hyperledger Project will give us their Zoom account so we can have up to 500 attendees in the meeting.
I pulled your bio from Linkedin below.
I added some potential topics you might consider.
Please give me your edits on your bio and a description of the session I can use for promotion.
Also please let me know what day / time works best for you.
Thanks very much,
Jim Mason

m.191216  Thomas, Chris Pringle


  1. discussed Feb 11-13 as dates at HBS
  2. looking for room with at least 100 capacity
  3. look at a May Hyperledger 1/2 day or full day conference in Blockchain week in Boston
  4. looking at adding students into meeting ( eg HBS blockchain club etc )
  • m.191204  Thomas
  • Hi Thomas,
  • The same location at the Media lab would be great. I'll be setup to run a Zoom session as well.  I can also bring a projector if needed. I can't remember but I assume we had a screen at the lab?
  • I talk to a number of the Hyperledger teams on Rocketchat or Zoom weekly so I can reach out and see who is available in our area.
  • My first call will be to Gary Singh ( IBM Blockchain CTO ) who actually lives up here.
  • We also have a new version of Hyperledger Fabric ( v2.0 ) that will be out in Q1. It's significantly different in operations, development and features than the v1x versions. I'll see who on the team may be available for us to do a presentation.
  • You're right there's a lot going on in several working groups that we may be able to tap into for sessions beyond Fabric: Indy, Aries, Ursa and more. There are also the industry SIGs: Healthcare, Capital Markets, Supply Chain.
  • At some point, I'd like to survey the Meetup membership to see what their interests and plans are for blockchain and Hyperledger as well.
  • Let me know any other thoughts you have.
  • Thanks,
  • Jim

    Hi Jim
    Great to hear from you again. And thank you for helping with the Hyperledger meetups. 
    It would be good if we could have quarterly meetup to start with in 2020. 
    I was thinking that we should try to get some of Hyperledger WG folks to give a presentation in person. There are various WG in Hyperledger (e.g. Fabric, Aries etc) and they could provide an update to the community here in Boston. 
    I can try to get the same venue as we did last time in the media lab. 
    What do you think?
    Best.
