Goals

Performance Against Prior Goals

Goal: Major Features

• Bevel general availability release v1.0 (completed)
• Bevel Documentation restructure and redesign (completed)
• Fabric v2.5.x support on both projects (completed)

Goal: Growing the Community

• Hyperledger meetup featuring Bevel release v1.0 (50+ participants)
• Workshop on Bevel and Bevel-Operator-Fabric (90+ participants)
• Hyperledger meetup featuring Bevel Fabric Operator supporting fabric 3.0

Next Year’s Goals

Goal 2024: Major Features

• Network deployments using just helm charts
• Add support for cloud managed vaults
• Use of Kubernetes operator for network orchestration
• Stability of the operator and support of Fabric v3.0 using bevel-operator-fabric

Goal 2024: Growing the Community

Help Required

• Continue to work with Hyperledger staff to identify contributors and potential maintainers outside current maintainers and orgs.
• Mention Hyperledger Bevel as a means for deployment (on Kubernetes) on documentations’ of Hyperledger projects such as Fabric, Besu, Indy and Aries.

Project Lifecycle Stage Recommendation

Currently in incubation, has potential to be Graduated.
