Hi everyone, Here’s a brief summary of our weekly Apache ResilientDB (Incubating) community meeting held on *October 27, 2025* for those who couldn’t attend:
Attendees: Aman Dwivedi, Bismanpal Anand, Chenyi Zhou, Dakai Kang, Dhairye Gala, Henry Chou, Himanshu Nimonkar, Junchao Chen, Kaustubh Shete, Mohammad Sadoghi, Shaokang Xie, Zehong Ruan This week’s meeting covered updates and progress across multiple ResilientDB projects, including the ResVault wallet, ResCanvas development and repository management. Team members shared technical progress, collaboration updates, and discussed improvements to workflow and documentation as part of ResilientDB’s continued incubation and research initiatives. Action Items : - Deprecate standalone repositories and add clear deprecation messages linking to the consolidated ResilientDB monorepo for improved maintainability and onboarding. - Review and approve pending PRs for the latest updates in ResVault and ResCanvas, ensuring recent fixes and improvements are merged. - Clean and maintain the ResilientDB Discord server to improve contributor engagement, transparency, and collaboration. *Project Updates and Demo Planning* The team discussed several ongoing projects and updates. Bismanpal reported on meetings with Henry regarding ResCanvas and ResVault, as well as discussions with Aviral about the MCP project and coordination with Sophie's team to avoid overlap. Junchao mentioned progress on the North Finality project and refining the ResilientDB paper, while also working on a pacemaker-related change. *Donation Platform Demo and Integration* Aman demonstrated a donation platform with a landing page, login functionality, and a Chrome extension that allows users to donate rounded-up amounts from online purchases. The platform includes features like Google sign-in, donation tracking, and payment processing through Stripe, with collected funds transferred to charities based on user preferences. Mohammad suggested exploring the possibility of using ResVault tokens (RoK) as a payment method, which Aman agreed could be an interesting expansion. *ResilientDB and ResCanvas Updates* The team discussed updates on ResilientDB and ResCanvas. Bismanpal explained that all ecosystem tools are integrated into ResilientDB, and Aman confirmed they can incorporate ResilientDB directly. Mohammad emphasized the importance of keeping the repository updated. Henry provided updates on ResCanvas, mentioning fixes for wallet signing issues and improvements to the API. He also discussed potential improvements to the monorepo and suggested creating a Discord server for developer support. *Discord Server for Volunteer Coordination* The team discussed utilizing the existing ResilientDB Discord server to better coordinate with volunteers, with Bismanpal offering to clean up and organize the channels. Henry and Mohammad confirmed that the Discord link is valid and accessible through the website, with Bismanpal being granted admin access to make necessary improvements. The group agreed to include the Discord link in weekly meeting minutes. *Ending Note:* The team made strong progress on multiple fronts, including wallet integration, Canvas updates and repository alignment. The discussion reflected ResilientDB’s commitment to structured collaboration, improved contributor experience, and strengthening its research and engineering foundation as it advances through Apache incubation. -- Best, Bismanpal Singh Anand PPMC, ResilientDB (Incubating) On Sat, Oct 25, 2025 at 6:39 PM Bismanpal Singh Anand <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi everyone, > > Our *weekly Apache ResilientDB (Incubating) community meeting* will be > held on *Monday at 3 PM PDT* via *Zoom*.
