2021 Q4 Hyperledger Caliper

Created by Attila Klenik, last modified by Troy Ronda on Jan 27, 2022

Project Health

• Three (one newly appointed) maintainers work on the project.
• An ongoing mentorship project targets a new feature that will lower the entry barrier for defining workloads.
• Rocket.chat activity is mainly about the configuration and setup of Caliper.
• Directions and features are actively discussed for the next quarter and milestones.

Required Information

1. Have you switched from master to main in all your repos ? Yes
2. Have you implemented the Common Repository Structure in all your repos ? Yes

Questions/Issues for the TSC

No issues at this time.

Releases

v0.4.x patch releases.

Overall Activity in the Past Quarter

• Patched up CI integration tests.
• Gradually integrated the Mentorship project contributions .
• Upgraded the issue templates to GitHub web forms-based templates (bug report and feature request templates).
• Smaller bug fixes.
•  

Current Plans

• Migrate the CI tests to GitHub Actions
• Integrate the new Fabric peer gateway feature through a new connector, using the new SDK version.
• Consolidate the configuration of existing Fabric connectors to provide a simpler and unified experience.
• Move Caliper to a newer Node.JS version and update dependencies in general.
• Increase flexibility for implementing complex benchmarks (based on the uncovered shortcoming in the previous quater)

Maintainer Diversity

Dave Kelsey from IBM UK was appointed to maintainer status (which was really just a formality at this point, he contributed plenty before) 

Current maintainers

Contributor Diversity

Primary activity from maintainers and through the Caliper-related mentorship project, smaller contributions from the community.

Attila Klenik – I see in the update a note that primary activity is coming from the maintainers and smaller contributions are coming from other community members.  If you'd be interested in bringing more contributors in to the project, let me know and we're happy to help.  There are a number of things we could do to help connect more people to Caliper contribution opportunities.

Would talking to folks from the lab proposal  https://github.com/hyperledger-labs/hyperledger-labs.github.io/pull/185/  be of help? They might have common interest in performance benchmarking/measurement. This could be a way for expanding project's scope if required and bring in additional maintainers.
