No issues.

Releases

  • Grid 0.3.5 - 5/29/2022

Overall Activity in the Past Quarter

Work continues on the implementation of components for batch-tracking within Grid. Multiple new components will be added to augment the process of submitting a batch and overseeing its lifecycle. Allowing batches to be submitted in plain JSON will make integrations simpler for Grid. 

Additionally, began work on an RFC for the Grid Document smart contract. Grid Document is a simple filesystem-like smart contract that will enable users to store and share files within Grid. 

The main source of asynchronous engagement is on Discord and RFC PRs remain. 

Current Plans

Current work is focused on batch tracking components within Grid for the next release, 0.4, and designing the Grid Document smart contract.

Contributor Diversity

Contributor diversity remains steady with previous quarters, with some share of the project’s overall diversity coming from non-developer participation in their areas of expertise. 

Sponsoring organizations that are actively contributing to Grid include Cargill, Target, GS1, and Bitwise IO. Additional contributions come from individual contributors. 

There were a total of 7 contributors in the last quarter.

A list of corporations was part of contributor diversity.  Can you add a similar summary to the maintainer diversity section?

The maintainers are currently employed by Bitwise IO (8), Cargill (1), Intel (1), and unaffiliated (4). We don't list employment next to names anymore because changes to employer doesn't change maintainer status and has thus become orthogonal (but, we try and capture this in the contributor section - a lot of the contributions happen by maintainers).
