Agenda

1. Ask everyone to put their name into the list of attendees
2. Ask for a volunteer to take notes
3. Everyone can add items to this agenda for things they would like to discuss
4. Round of intros and updates

• Introduce yourself and your interest in this subject
• What have you accomplished since the last meeting?
• Were there any blockers? If so, which ones? Is it still blocked? Why?
• What is the next important thing you should focus on?

1. Demos:

• peer-star-app: "put a ring on it": reducing the number of connections required for gossip
• peer-pad with rendezvous protocol: https://rendezvous.mkg20001.io - uses rendezvous instead of ws-star for discovery

1. Present the Problem statement of Identity & Authentication
2. Small presentation of the Identity & Authentication RFC
3. Questions

2 Week Updates:

Other notes

• Pedro presented a solution to scale peer-pad by making the gossyp protocol more scalable by using a hash ring approach

• André and João have been working on a concept to resolve Identity & Authentication via the IdentityManager

• Maciej Krüger is also working on making peer-pad more scalable by using a rendezvous protocol

• Carlos Baquero has a deep knowledge of CRDTs and will be giving valuable input on that subject

• Fritzy has been working on a peer-identity and will be working a login demo with DApps

• Pedro presented a demo of testings on the "hash ring" approach to prove the topology is well connected and is scalable

  • The original concept has been developed by both David Dias and Pedro Texeira

• Maciej Krüger showed a demo of peer-pad working with the rendezvous protocol!

  • This improves the topic discovery and the peers interested in those topics
