A

Hello, everyone welcome to ethereum care hotels. Meeting 103 I have shared agenda in chat. As usual, we have a few items to be shared here. One is the network upgrade and then some information about even tackathons, followed by what catharters are doing as a part of new initiative or association with different working group available in the ecosystem, followed by some general updates.

A

So, starting with the ethereum network, upgrade.

A

So, as we know, um we are very close to shapeela Shanghai and capella upgrade, so the first set of information is related to the chapel upgrade the Xiang testnet is live and it is available for stakers to use and test sepolia.

A

um We also have the announcement of sipolia the public test net for Chapel upgrade, which is scheduled to go live on. February 28th details are um as as provided by the um by developers on an issue is Epoch number selected, for this is five six eight three two and the slot number is one. Eight one, eight six, two four Danny Rand published a newsletter finalized 38. It contains a lot of information related to this upcoming public test net, which is supposed to be launched on February 28 at 404 am UTC.

A

um Check out the link added here in the agenda for each withdrawal FAQ, it is generally useful proposal for people who are already a Staker or who are willing to know about the process of withdrawals. If there are any questions, I think this is a good FAQ shared by development team to check it out.

A

We have updated the details of Shanghai upgrade on catheter's website.

A

Eos breakout room took place last week. The recording of meeting six and notes are added in the agenda, so some of the proposals are moved or planned for the next upgrade, which is um geneb, so uh developers are trying to make progress on that now. These are all the implementing client team meeting bi-weekly to follow the implementation status where they are um with different proposals.

A

uh Notes May, provide you more information on the eits which are under consideration.

A

Another meeting eip4844 implementers meeting that happens every week. I have added a meeting 15 agenda, which is today and the video for reading 14..

A

So these are related to meetings which are directly or indirectly related to present and future upgrade. uh The next important thing is the academic Grant round, so ethereum Foundation has announced for academic a grant round, so people interested uh May check out the blog post I have added a link to the agenda. The last date of submission for Grant application is February 27th. So please make sure that you have already made your application shared with the team before 27th.

A

You can check out the wish list that is added here, provided by development team for tooling support yeah. Please take a look. Whoever are interested in applying for this Grant and helping the community with the expected tooling.

A

Any question comments.

A

This part is mostly the update side, so yeah we can move on to the next one, which is events, are generally a good opportunity to network with the global industry, experts, advisors, mentors and companies building in the space. Many people find the co-founder team members and investor for the project.

A

We are trying to list all the events and hackathons that we are aware of. If you are aware of any any other events which are missing from their life, you can always share it with us on a hackerlin channel added on ECS Discord.

A

So from the present list we have eat for all um that started on February 4th and it will be there for another uh for five days. That is the latest edition of eat, India online series, and um it has over 50 000 uh Bounty for grabs um I'm, trying to help out the organizers in finding mentors to maybe able to help the hackathon participants implementing uh eips.

A

So 4337 is one proposal which is like um which people are looking for support for so I'm trying to help out, find mentors, connect the team, and hopefully um that will help participants in the hakaran.

A

I also gave a talk on public good funding last week. In the event, um I will share the recording soon.

A

The next one listed here is ether Turner, which is supposed to start from February 24th um I I know a few people are planning to join each Denver and our next meeting is going to be uh in this duration. I wonder if we can plan for like in-person meeting at Ethan, will anyone have any thought to share.

A

Or I wondered anyone from the present participants are planning to join each Denver. Okay, not a problem.

A

Yeah sure we can definitely move the meeting to um the next uh day when uh I mean like uh we can skip the next one um Zoom meeting and we'll try to meet uh people there in person, which would not be counted as a ech meeting, but we can definitely meet I'm aware at least four of us are going there. So we'll try to catch up.

A

Anyone listening to this call as they are planning to be there at eat. Denver um I'm also trying to be there so feel free to DM me and we'll try to connect.

A

As I mentioned in the last meeting, uh one of the cat herder uh Victor in association with Fellowship of ethereum magician team with a math, they are organizing an event for EIP authors. So details of the event have added in the agenda. We can always catch up. In the event, there is a interrupt Summit on February, 27 and 28th. We are hoping to have a panel discussion with Dan offer in Matt, Gannett and I, which would be moderated by a naturally cover from fellowship of ethereum magician.

A

So if you're around on 28 try to join us on interrupt Summit other than that, we have a few other eat Global initiatives going on in different parts of the world. We have each.

B

A

Eid photo um nft. Nyc is also coming up in the month of April, so um application developer. If you are interested, you can join that check out the entire list um on the agenda.

A

All right, if anyone has any other events which is missed here, you can add the thing in the chat or yeah. Let us know on the Discord Channel.

A

The next one is a new initiative and Association, as I mentioned, that I'm trying to support events in hackathon and provide people like developers from ethereum team who can maybe able to support the hackathon participants so I'm already working with Eid for all team. The uh deaf for your team from India um I mean I'll, be open to help out any other team if they are looking for any kind of connection. Looking for any developer or EIP authors who, whose proposal they are considering for the hackathon okay.

A

So there is this EIP author survey, it's a very, very short survey like I. Think it's five or six question very simple question. We are trying to collect this feedback from uh authors, who have already documented a proposal uh for ethereum repository. We are trying to collect information on like what they feel about the present process.

A

uh How was it when they proposed the process when they proposed a proposal and what changes they are looking for in the current process to maybe help future EIP authors come up with their proposal and we have that as ethereum standard. So if you are an EIP author, if you have documented any proposal for ethereum repository, even if it is in the draft status or in the pull request status, consider taking out time to respond to the survey, this would take less than two minutes. But that information will be quite helpful for us.

A

We can discuss it with EIP editors and try to bring changes that you think is needed to improve the present process.

A

Link is added in the agenda and yeah. You can always reach out to us. If you have any questions or comments to add.

A

The client diversity survey is still active or we are hoping to publish report by next month.

A

um Right now, we have received over 150 responses, which is great, and we have received quite a few uh information that they want there client him to be aware of. We are hoping to generate a report of it and share it with us, the clienting.

A

Hopefully, that will be helpful for both parties for stickers, as well as client providers, to understand what is the request coming up from the end users, if you haven't taken the survey, yet the link is added in the agenda check out the announcement blog post for for more information on the survey.

B

A

Are still yet to start the work on get Pro app for EIP authors, we had a meeting with GitHub team last week and um I think it's lacking on my part. We just have to initiate the work. We have a Clarity on how to proceed.

A

um I hope that by the end of this week we should be having the first set of VIP authors added there.

A

So that's on initiative and Association. Anyone has anything else, any proposal, anything that you think that we should be adding as a cat hurdles that could be useful for the ecosystem.

A

Okay, someone has to speak, otherwise it would look like I'm. The only person in the meeting today.

C

I am not about, Samia looks good so far, yeah.

A

That's good good to know and right.

B

A

Yeah, please go ahead.

A

Okay, let's move on to the general update. uh So last week we shared the ech roadmap for 2023 and Eureka at the link here, I'm hoping to publish another newsletter this week uh with some echs stats. We have added the numbers for Twitter, Discord, YouTube and Linkedin. It also contains the link, if you want following us on any of the social media those are listed here, please do follow. We have noted that the subscriber to ethereum, catheters YouTube, is way low than the users that visit and the watch that we receive.

A

So it's obvious that over 80 percent people who are watching our videos who are following uh us are actually not subscribed to ethereum Caterers YouTube. So please um share a word about ethereum categories YouTube and do subscribe it. So you get direct notification for any meeting that we upload or any people episode that we share.

A

um We are trying to keep eph website up to date. uh Yesterday, I had a chat with George who has been helping us with the Learn to Earn application, because that application is at the decent place like we have moved it to polygon. Now we issued nft instead of instead of Co-op to users who are taking quizzes. uh We are considering to revive eech website.

A

um A few uh points that we have discussed is like. We do not have a testing environment set up for the present website. It's mostly on like we are um deploying it directly, which is not a good idea. So we will try to find out what all things are missing in the present ECS website plus, we will also set up an analytics website to follow and collect information on what kind of user database we have who are visiting ech website. At present, we contain a lot of information on ech websites.

A

We have information related to network, upgrade all the history of network upgrades uh plus whatever is the active EIP under discussion. We share information about that. We have the list to ech podcast like we are broadcasting on different platforms, so you can find all the platform listed over there and pick up what you like, and you can follow us over there for all the broadcast. Those are coming up on um yeah those are published by ethereum catheters, so.

B

A

Lot of information is there uh try to check out our website and if you have suggestions to further improve, uh do let us know. We would now like to focus on uh the CATE address website.

A

um Next one is ech engineering, EIP bot, a new bot created by Panda Peep, has been activated now. People can see a lot of new changes now erc's are actually written as ERC, so you wouldn't find it written as eip-20. It would be erc-20. So it's a clear classification of if it is an ERC or it is any other proposal, any other standard, right, EIP or um informational or meta e, so other than ERC.

A

All other proposals are listed as EIP so check out the new page layout, and um we would appreciate any feedback if you have to further improve the appearance.

A

Do we have any other update on bot.

A

B

We are also not from me. So sorry, no, no, not from me I, just I just listened in the last AP EAP meeting, exactly what you say that there is a new there is a new bug that is classifying difference in the erc's and the EIP. So that's fine that.

A

Is right, yeah, okay, another problem we do have a bot eipw, which is in Rust language and Sam. Wilson is looking for some support so if anyone's uh having knowledge of rust and may be interested to help out with the bot please reach out, uh we are planning to add a few new features in that, especially like having EIT number generated by bot. So there are quite a few issues open on eipw GitHub check out. If you are interested to contribute Reach Out.

A

um As I mentioned, Learn to Earn app is now ready and live people interested in collecting nfts me give it a try. We have the link added here, Jose I see uh hand you want to share something.

B

Yeah, just just to just to confirm, is: is there any is any grant for the collaboration or just uh open open source collaboration that no no Grant.

A

Okay, uh no people who are trying to support uh to the bot development if they would like, we can definitely help us with the supporter. We do have 20 hours with us uh for updating the bots so yeah. If we people have interest, they can reach out to me, I'll provide more information.

A

Okay, um so that's all about engineering on usage operations. We are working on podcast right now. I do not have much updates on YouTube backup, um but we are producing uh podcast on p penny.

A

Next is elps inside so in the month of February, we received 10 new drafts of eips and ercs combined There are 16 proposal in review. Three proposals are final and we have got uh 16 proposals in Target status. Final proposals are 4955, render metadata extension for nft 6150, hierarchical, nft and 5267 retrieval of eip712 domain. All of these are in category.

A

Okay, so that's on eaps inside.

A

The next one is a P pen e, but we have a p penny plan for eip4337, which is scheduled on February 15th at 1830 UTC.

A

We will have uif from ethereum Foundation to talk about the latest changes in the proposal, and he will also share reports of audit that has been conducted a few more um project implementation, so I hope that it is going to be interesting discussion if you have interest in eip4337 either you have implemented into your project or planning to do so feel free to join the conversation with eif on February 15th at 1830. Utc will try to share the recording in the following week.

A

We do have a form in which you can share your question or you can just leave your question on cat herders, Discord General Channel. If you can't join the meeting and we'll try to share that with the guest to have your questions answered.

A

We have meeting notes available for all meetings, I guess that is very good. We have ACD e meeting that is execution layer, meeting notes 154 the next one should be ACDC the consensus layer meeting for notes, 102 and eipip meeting 77.

A

um We we have added a new EIP editor, uh so that is especially for proposals which are coming from consensus layer. Last week in the EIP IP meeting there was this proposal of separating the depot to help consensus layer also get the Comfort to be able to join the EIP process. That is there for execution layer um as per day meeting.

A

It looks like people want to experiment with having a new EIP editor and have him get the access that is needed to Shepherd proposals which are coming from consensus layers, so they don't have to wait longer in the pull request form and we should be able to like come move them sooner rather than later to have it in the standard form, as I mentioned in the beginning of the call, we do have an EIP author's survey.

A

This is especially for EIP authors to collect their feedback in terms of issues and challenges they are facing with the present system. If there are any um and any suggestion that they would like to share with us, so we can improve our present process and it should be common for all sort of eips, including ercs. So, even if you are an ERC author, this survey is applicable, for you, too. Please respond to the survey.

A

Okay, we have other community meetings, so we did EIP editing office hour last week and the next one is um proposed next Tuesday for new Authors, who are looking for any kind of help with EAP editors. I think this is a very good place. This has been um receiving a lot of good response from new Authors. So if you think your pull request is not moving, it's not getting immersed or you are stuck- you don't understand, what's missing from your pull request to get it merged. You're.

A

Welcome to join the meeting check out the link to agenda just Mark, your pull request over there and we'll try to have it responded by the EIP editor.

A

B

C

I just wanted to check what happened with the YouTube backup.

A

Oh I'm not sure, like um I, also need to check with the ZK he was working on it. uh Unfortunately, he seems to be bandwidth constraint as well as we are trying to lower the amount of effort. So we are uh working on like how to you know optimize it. He is open to uh like uh discuss it further and he is uh willing to like continue doing it.

A

Right, yeah right so Danny and Tim initiated the Shanghai Community call that we did a few weeks ago and after that each taker Community also started a series of withdrawal information that is useful for um stakers, like if they want to prepare themselves for the upgrade I think we had one Community called um about two weeks ago, um like Kim, Ben and everybody elsewhere. There are also participated in that. That was a good introductory um Community call organized by ethereum, eats taker team and I think there is one more planned for today so yeah.

A

If people are interested, they can get more information from each sticker so channel uh or maybe you can check out the yes, we are on live, okay, um yeah I mean more.
