Planning and project management for the libp2p Project

libp2p Project Management

This repo is used for project management, coordination and notes archiving for the libp2p project. It will grow over time.

The libp2p Project

In 2018, we are trying to turn libp2p into a true first class citizen of a project, with its own goals, team and organizational structure. Previously, libp2p had been mainly an upstream for IPFS, but recently more non-IPFS downstream projects have started adopting it, hence the desire to "spin out" libp2p as a proper independent project.

This entails a few changes:

  • Creation of a libp2p Working Group (WG). Eventually, we hope to have sub-WG's for different parts of libp2p.
  • Roadmap, goals, Kanban tracking. @mgoelzer is working on putting more structure in place to help guide libp2p's development.
  • User focus beyond IPFS. @mgoelzer is working on product management tasks such as interviewing downstream users to understand what they need from libp2p.
  • Greater interaction between contributors. We will be trying a bi-weekly meeting (see below) and a libp2p Summit in Berlin in July 2018.

Bi-weekly call

We are planning to start a bi-weekly libp2p call every other Monday at 10:30-11:00am U.S. Pacific Time. Add to your calendar with this link.

The first call at this new Monday time will be on June 4. After that, the call will occur every 2 weeks.

Join the call here: https://zoom.us/j/508697396

Agendas are in the agendas folders.
