Dev Pulse is Expanding!

Holochain Dev Pulse 34

Summary

Dev Pulse is expanding its focus. We want to start covering everything our teams are doing — not just the Holochain Core Dev Team. We hope that devs will learn more about one another’s work and use that knowledge to take Holochain in new and exciting directions.

You’ll also find improvements to our recommended installation and release process in this week’s update.

Holochain Dev Pulse June 17–June 24, 2019

1. Dev Pulse Expanding to Cover More Dev Teams

Until now, Dev Pulse has focused on updates from the Holochain Core Dev Team. The truth of the matter is that important and exciting things are happening in all our teams, and we believe that sharing a wider view of their progress and accomplishment will benefit our audience and community as a whole.

In the future, the weekly Dev Pulses will include updates about launching the Holo hosting network, the development of our core hApps and user-community hApps, expansion of dev tools and UIs, DHT sharding, scalability testing, and more!

We hope to raise the profile of everything these teams are doing and make it easier to share progress across teams.

2. New Video from Co-Founder Arthur Brock

Here is a brief video from our co-founder, Arthur Brock, explaining the changes in the focus of Dev Pulse. As he notes, development has expanded from two teams (Core and Holo) to five, a reflection of the growing maturity of the organization.

Stay tuned for changes to our Dev Pulse updates; we think you’ll enjoy the improvement in how we share the development progress of Holochain and the apps surrounding it.

3. Team Profiles & Summaries

With our broadened focus, we want the community to first get to know the various teams working on development. Consider this your introduction to everyone working on expanding and improving Holochain, Holochain Core Apps, and the Holo Network!

Holochain Core

Summary: This team is focused on the core development of Holochain, maintaining the HDK, adding new features and security enhancement, and maintaining the overall robustness of Holochain. Other areas include developer docs, developing RAD APIs, Light Client, and the Conductor. We still have a lot more we would like to add to Holochain.
