## 2023-12-09
### Attendees
### Discussion topics
- (Daniel) Kubo DHT providing rarely works out of the box
- https://filecoinproject.slack.com/archives/C0238P3SU4X/p1701695998793549
- Changing kubo/desktop defaults to [optimistic provide](https://github.com/ipfs/kubo/blob/master/docs/experimental-features.md#optimistic-provide) instead of DHT provide?
- Experimental feature since kubo 0.20, recommended for people who have a lot of data to provide
- Any blockers to switching to default?
- Check with Ian on performance?
- Hybrid?
- 🎬 Steve to bring to 2023-12-11 team meeting and make sure we have a public message on next steps/status
- https://www.notion.so/pl-strflt/Making-optimistic-provide-non-experimental-a0dc309db4434a2986b82d2b526d68c9?pvs=4
- New Amino refactor - still on track for Q4 as mentioned in this blog post? https://blog.ipfs.tech/2023-09-amino-refactoring/
- ([stalled](https://github.com/ipfs/boxo/pull/472) with nucleation push, can ask Yiannis for latest timeline)
- 🎬 Steve to get Probelab and Kubo to sync and update on what the next steps here
- This is a good topic for 2023-12-11 Stewards team sync and then report back out on issue/discuss posts
- https://www.notion.so/pl-strflt/Next-steps-with-Zikade-and-go-libp2p-kad-dht-improvements-5c19db2d493a4fdea79befa052db11f0?pvs=4
- Could we at least provide better self-service commands, e.g. command to only publish IPNS records to the DHT? more information in the `ipfs stats provide` command like: *time until next provide run*,
- 🎬 Steve bring this to 2023-12-11 meeting as well
- https://www.notion.so/pl-strflt/Better-self-service-DHT-commands-for-Kubo-0ec1796fb06d457dbb2976879d3a7414?pvs=4
- (Mosh) What are we getting out of this call and how can we transition to a public working group(s)?
- Move these conversations into the project-focused ones, e.g. integrate into DApps WG / Implementers WG / Ecosystem WG
- Lidel: Find it useful for connecting dots
- Biglep: Haven't participated in ecosystem WG meetings on Tuesdays and that could potentially be the forum/venue? (Lidel: lots of schedule conflicts with that lately)
- Decision: going to merge this with Ecosystem WG in 2024 (and treat that time as sacred)
- (Mosh) IPFS events in 2024
- Thinking as independent teams/WGs, what do you want out of major IPFS events (Thing, Camp, etc.) and/or smaller events (eg Connect)?
- Eg smaller events for design/collaboration?
- Or colocate with major web3 events for bizdev/collabs?
- Biglep: Venue where people who are actually trying to use the technology and have ideas or are running into problems. We've gotten some of those people to come to IPFS Thing - e.g. DClimate betting on IPFS, running into production-grade problems.
- Achinghead: Events where people are showing off how they're using your stuff, problem-solve together.
- Lidel: Camp was way bigger but I found Thing more useful to folks like me
- (Daniel) JS & Web publishing
- https://www.notion.so/ecosystem-wg/The-state-of-DApps-on-IPFS-910082f03a274b0e90e5a57422a77c5d
- Drafting this article is highlighting gaps in production-ready functionality
- How are JS/Helia priorities set?
- https://github.com/ipfs/helia/blob/main/ROADMAP.md appears outdated
- Here's what dapp developers are currently missing:
- Lightweight library to fetch and verify from gateways for browsers (that could be used in service workers too). Similar to https://github.com/olizilla/ipfs-get.
- Simpler API in Helia for fetching and verifying JSON unix-fs
- This gives developers the smallest possible tax for doing content addressing/ipfs
- (Mosh add): Modularity:
- In looking at libp2p & Boxo, should Helia interface be chunked differently into a set of libraries (eg helia-fetch, helia-verify, etc.)?
- Helia today requires libp2p, should we provide smaller libraries that don't involve libp2p?
- 🎬 Update/create Helia issue concerning HTTP-only version of Helia.
- https://github.com/ipfs/helia/issues/289

- Important to be available weekend of June 17-18 given it's the last push
- Q: where can we connect with participants who are trying to use libp2p and Helia?
- In EthGlobal Discord
- Prithvi going to proactively reach out to some libp2p community members. Point them to https://ethglobal.com/events/hackfs2023
3. longer wip: delegated `/routing/v1` HTTP API wip in Kubo (https://github.com/ipfs/kubo/pull/9877)
- enables IPFS deployments (incl. Helia in browser) with self-hosting endpoints independent of cid.contact

## 12.5.2023
### Attendees
- biglep
- adin
- lidel
- david
- prithvi
### Discussion topics
1. Collaborate on updating useful existing projects to use Helia:
- https://github.com/ipld/explore.ipld.io/issues/117
- Can make it useful by not requiring Kubo
- Death to preload nodes!
- Should not depend on ipfs-http-client / kubo-rpc-client
- Minimum: hit HTTP gateway API
- Better: do more locally in the browser (e.g., Helia mode)
- https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/ipfs-share-files/issues/136
- Harder than the above, but can be done (WebRTC)
2. Owning getting questions like these answered: https://discuss.ipfs.tech/t/unable-to-fetch-any-cid-from-custom-node/16351 (https://filecoinproject.slack.com/archives/C03L0G3B4RX/p1682526100040979 )
- General: Outercore developer advocates are expected to create/get a response
- This issue specifically:
- Not sure what the problem is
- 🎬 Create draft decision tree (@discordian)
- EngRes Stewards will likely do the backendy parts of the software and Outercore take on how this is presented to the user
4. https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs-docs/issues/1286
- This will flow out of existing workstreams (Universal Connectivity, explore.ipld.io, ipfs-share)
4. Pubsub in Kubo RPC
- https://github.com/ipfs/kubo/issues/9717#issuecomment-1543827199
- Why people are doing this?
- https://discuss.ipfs.tech/t/help-kubo-maintainers-about-usecases-for-the-http-pubsub-api/16097
- Past: JS wasn't good enough and so would delegate to a Kubo node?
- Reusing peerId
- This isn't handled even if we provide a separate binary
- Another idea: bug people if they look to be building a production usecase (i.e., annoy people with log messages if volume is high enough)
- Hypothesis: people are doing this because they don't think there are alternatives.

### Discussion topics
- (daniel) Network indexer
- https://filecoinproject.slack.com/archives/C02T827T9N0/p1676628576458669
- How do different index providers ensure they have the same state? In other words, are there multiple indexers that are indexing the same content?
- I understand that anyone can run an indexer and point their Kubo instance, but I’m specifically curious about indexers for the public IPFS network
- Whether they have the same state hasn't been defined. With Kubo you can hit multiple IPNI's, but in Kubo you need to decide how to order and combine results: https://github.com/ipfs/kubo/blob/master/docs/config.md#routingrouters
- What are the approximate costs/hardware requirements for running an indexer?
- Are publishing requests to the IPNI authenticated?
- Side conversation on reframe: agreed we rename the IPIP-337 "http delegated routing" to "reframe v1" once we have peer routing and IPNS
- (daniel) go-libipfs
- Ties in with the Rhea effort
- Before we put a spotlight on it, the stewards need to address some challenges
- The key thing to focus on, is having great examples that showcase real world problems without being "beholden to the Kubo RPC API"
- We will be happy to demo go-libipfs/gateway examples once the dust settles down, but thats Q2 realistically. Until then APIs will most likely break, so better not announce to users yet.
- Feedback from Daniel and talking with users:
- IPFS Stewards would appreciate feedback on examples they would like to see
- IPNS is where users hit snags
- Users have to make a tradeoff on availability / recency
- There will be a commons version of the DHT server exposing reframe v2

- (biglep) Appetite and capacity for a working tutorial of a chat application interconnecting go-libp2p public server, rust-libp2p public server, nodejs-libp2p public server, and two browserjs-libp2p nodes all exchanging messages.
- This pertains to under-development OKR planning for libp2p: https://www.notion.so/pl-strflt/585eb1c8581640299139d79d741b88b7

- Elliot: For Helia, regular demo days starting week of Jan 23 (community cal?). Github issue [#5](https://github.com/ipfs/helia/issues/5) in the repo (https://github.com/ipfs/helia) for any comments on roadmap. Biglep: Anyone sufficiently motivated should be able to come and see what's going on, and even contribute.
- Daniel IPFS Community Calendar: any thing left out?
- https://lu.ma/ipfs
- Elliot: There is a weekly js-ipfs Triage meeting every Friday; I'm not sure if that's on the community cal, but I think it probably should be.

- Mosh: Adoption update
- Studio 3S - IPFS plugin for Unreal Engine (https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/ipfs) is doing well, 2,200+ downloads since it became free 2 weeks ago
- https://blog.ipfs.tech/2022-11-15-3s-studio/
- https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/ipfs
- Mosh: IPFS Thing & libp2p
- IPFS Thing targeting 5 days (~April 17-25 window). Does libp2p want to carve out some days or run a separate event?
- Elliot: New JS multiformats
- We need to upgrade everything to use the new [JS multiformat](https://github.com/multiformats/js-multiformats). It contains the CID class which is used everywhere, so it's a relatively large and tedious task. Alex @achingbrain plans to do/complete this work Monday, 2023-01-09, so this is a short-term request. But this is a good opportunity for other engineers (within PL or in the community) to help out with some important and well-scoped work.
