Hyperledger, a collaborative cross-industry effort created to advance blockchain technology, announced the launch of a Technical Working Group China (TWG China) in order to foster a strong relationship between the Hyperledger global community and the China local technical teams.
TWG China is led by key contributors in the country who actively contribute to the Hyperledger Technical Community and build the consortium ecosystem. Hyperledger TSC has currently appointed three members as chairpersons of the working group, including Baohua Yang from IBM, Dong Cai from Wanda and Ruifeng Hu from Huawei, the release stated.
The group was officially approved by Hyperledger TSC on December 1, 2016, and the move comes after Hyperledger membership has seen a quick growth in China over the past year with over 25% of Hyperledger members are from mainland China.
The group serves as a bridge between the global Hyperledger community, the emerging technical users and contributors in China as well as in greater region like Taiwan and Hong Kong. TWG China is aimed to help grow the Hyperledger technical team, embrace more members and encourage technical contribution to Hyperledger community from the greater China region. It will also expose new users to the broad range of projects at Hyperledger and will regularly organize meet-ups, Hackathons, trainings and related activities for the membership and technical fans.
TWG China welcomes individual contribution and company membership and encourages others from the community to join the team, help build the technical and promote Hyperledger in further adoptions and scenarios.
