Hello all! Here is our first update on Least Authority’s work for the Tahoe-LAFS Software Foundation. This will cover the end of January and the beginning of February 2024.
The dev team members working on this project so far are: Chris Wood Florian Sesser Shae Erisson We also have some team members contributing minimal hours working on administrative and project coordination efforts: Sveta Shuranova Lauri Hmel Katharina Gaube And of course our CEO, Liz Steininger, will be involved in the project and continue her administrative support with the Tahoe-LAFS Software Foundation. During this time frame some of our time was spent getting organized, coordinating with Open Collective about project finance administration and project planning, along with continuing the transition from Aspiration. In addition to attending Tahoe-LAFS dev meetings and doing some research, the team was able to work on the following: - Recovery Phrases: Initial research and experimentation began towards a Rust library with accompanying Python bindings (to be published soon; name TBD) for deriving RSA keys from BIP-39 mnemonic phrases. This is intended to be used/extended for deriving Tahoe-LAFS mutable capabilities (since Tahoe-LAFS mutables are based on RSA keys) with the goal of allowing users to recover a Tahoe-LAFS mutable/directory capability from a 12 word phrase in the future. As more of the dev team are able to ramp up and begin contributing to this project, we will begin working on more areas of the project, including mobile and tahoe-s3. We look forward to working with the Tahoe-LAFS community on this project!
