## Agenda

- Roll call, by [timezone from east to west](../admin-guides/timezone-rollcall.md).
- Call for additional agenda items (moderator)

- Quick all hands check in
- There is interest by the team in repeating it (several :+1:)
- Matt is concerned that we might be repeating ourselves, since there are calls dedicated for each endeavour
- "Sprint agendas are empty" (note: not 100% true)
- We need a space to 'check in' on projects that don't have a space allocated for them
- We have some options to approach this:
- project leads give the update for their teams (saves time)
- everyone gives an update on what they were working the previous week
- Invite members the community to give their updates
- [ ] @RichardLitt will open issue on ipfs/community about discussing this asynchronously

- Help test IPLD (@flyingzumwalt & @diasdavid)
- IPLD is implemented and and deployed for a while.
- We need some good demos to nail down the interface for operating over IPLD Graphs
- There is a lot of work to be done with regards to interface design
- https://github.com/ipfs/interface-ipfs-core/pull/99
- https://github.com/ipfs/interface-ipfs-core/issues/81
- [ ] @RichardLitt: reach out to IPLD users, gather use cases, help them build examples
- @jonnycrunch: I'm interested in exploring use-cases for identity management with W3C and cross-over with JSON-LD/Verifible Claims Task Force

- Moving forward with CI (@victor: @all)
- Input please! https://github.com/ipfs/infrastructure/issues/100
- We are about moving forward with Jenkins, please share your concerns (Jenkins vs Teamcity)
- [ ] @victorbjelkholm: Prepare a checklist on the items you need/want feedback to make sure everyone reviews and has a common frame to present their review.

- Discourse about discourse (@Richardlitt: @all)
- I have opened an issue about Discourse, [here](https://github.com/ipfs/community/issues/213). Please take a look.
- We need feedback from everyone, please do so at: https://github.com/ipfs/community/issues/213. The questions are in **bold**
- We will still be using Github for Code Reviews
- We need to get a feel for how a technical discussion develops inside discourse, such as:
- How to do something specific with go-ipfs?
- How to use IPLD with IPFS. <- Let's keep this conversation at Github as it is still mostly a development question.
- Technical FAQ (Support)
- Matt is writting an article on 'Saving endangered data sets' - we could use this audience as a test for discourse, but that might be a bad group because discourse is empty -- could give them the false impression that IPFS doesn't have many users.

- @llopv Master's thesis on IPFS
- David is looking for ideas for his M.Sc Thesis
- Wants to focus in WebDev (JS) and Security
- Contact David through gitter, username is: [@llopv](https://github.com/llopv)
- You can join the discussion at https://github.com/llopv/master-tesis
- [ ] @llopv: create an issue to share thoughts and options for the area of research.
- [ ] @jonnycrunch: I am currently working with collaborators at York University regarding ontologies to describe identity leveraging JSON-LD and now possibly IPLD. Problem is that ontologies may have cycles which isn't supported in Merkle DAGs.

- IPWB Storing Index on IPFS itself (@jbenet)
- https://github.com/oduwsdl/ipwb/issues/61
- requires attention of IPLD implementors

- Java ecosystem getting IPLD (@jbenet)
- https://github.com/multiformats/java-multibase
- https://github.com/ipld/java-cid
- [ ] Test suite for IPLD objects.
- [ ] https://github.com/ipld/interface-ipld-format is a 'pseudo formal' spec for IPLD Format implementations

- ipfs-cluster will be a topic of `Apps on IPFS` sprint call \o/
