Quorum was met with half the committee present plus developer advocates. | Reshma joined from vacation; Jordan, Sebastian, and Mike were also present. | | Mithril Binary Integration | Jean-Philippe (JP) proposed including the Mithril signer binary with Cardano node artifacts to improve adoption and speed up bootstrapping (30–60 mins vs. 24+ hours). | Sam confirmed this functions as a CI/CD flake input in the code, similar to the recent Daedalus release. | | Committee Approval | Sebastian and Terence discussed the necessity of committee approval for maintainer program transparency and database management awareness. | The committee (Sebastian, Jordan, Reshma) provided a "rubber stamp" approval for the addition. | | Minneapolis Event Logistics | Terence provided an update on the upcoming event. Jordan, Sebastian, and Gayorg (his final event) are confirmed to attend. | Uday’s attendance is pending visa confirmation. One open seat remains for a North American representative. | | Developer Advocates Update | Harun, Dan, and Uche were unable to obtain visas for Minneapolis. They will instead host satellite sessions and local versions of the event. | Terence will set up a call in two weeks to coordinate expectations and rules for the event. | | Satellite Sessions Support | Harun requested financial support for renting spaces and providing refreshments for local satellite attendees. | Terence will investigate if Intersect can provide funding; individual committee support is also an option. | | Dev Advocate Milestones | Harun mentioned the plan to showcase running a node. The advocates will meet next week to finalize a presentation for the spotlight session. | Terence requested 5 minutes of introductions followed by 10-15 minutes of technical presentation. | | Virtual Participation | Uche asked about sharing meeting links with virtual communities. Terence advised focusing on physical attendance to avoid crowding links. | Terence suggested setting up a YouTube stream for virtual observers to follow along without interrupting. | | Security Reports | Mike presented three security reports for approval involving Cardano CLI, DB Sync, and the Mithril node. All are categorized as low severity. | The vulnerabilities related to off-chain metadata are already fixed; approval is needed for the record. | | Security Milestones | Terence requested that Mike share the January–April security report and a review of the bug tracker for milestone verification. | Mike agreed to share the reports in Discord for committee comments. | | Mesh AI Proposal | Sebastian presented a proposal for Mesh AI. He argued that adding an AI layer to the widely used MeshJS library would strengthen developer onboarding. | Polls will be posted on Discord for a formal vote next week. | | Midnight Proposal | Sebastian discussed a proposal regarding the Midnight ecosystem but suggested the team should seek support from the Midnight Foundation first. | The committee will continue the discussion in Discord before taking a final stance. | | Budget Proposal | Sebastian confirmed the budget proposal is live on the Eleutheria platform. It aligns with the work completed over previous weeks. | Committee members are encouraged to review the platform version for any final adjustments. | | Promotional Strategy | The committee needs to begin active promotion of the budget to delegates (DReps) and the wider community to ensure successful voting. | Sebastian noted that the final PDF and platform versions appear to be in sync. | --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
