    • Brian B:  Consensus within China ecosystem to hold a Hackathon on March 10-11 in Shanghai.  Should there be a Hackfest, as well?

Whitepaper WG Update (Hart Montgomery)

  • Plan is to finalize a “whitepaper skeleton” to be sent out in next week or so –  please read and give comments… then in early January, seek approval from TSC on skeleton (prevent being in endless cycle of circular changes)

On-going (no action, just tracking)
