Following the trend: Hyperledger blockchain project announces the establishment of a "China Technical Working Group"

Rage Comment : The number of member institutions of the Hyperledger project has exceeded 100, and Chinese member institutions account for 25%. Therefore, the alliance announced the establishment of a "China Technical Working Group" in China, which is responsible for cultivating China's blockchain ecosystem and communicating with global members. It is also responsible for organizing meetings, hackathons, training courses, and other community activities to promote blockchain knowledge promotion, research and development. The working group's planned projects for the year include a meeting to be held in the technology center Shenzhen on January 7, and Shanghai is also in the plan.

The Hyperledger Project is a cross-industry collaborative project for learning, developing, and implementing open source blockchain solutions and standards; it recently established a branch in China - the China Technical Working Group.

The move comes as the project grows in membership and interest in China. This week, the Linux Foundation-led Hyperledger project revealed that 25% of its members are from mainland China.

Therefore, the open source alliance announced that the "Technical Working Group China" (TWG China) will help strengthen the connection between the project's global community and the Chinese technical team. In view of the increase in Chinese members in the alliance, the alliance's Technical Steering Committee (TSC) approved the establishment of TWG China for the first time on December 1, 2016.

The working group has appointed three chairmen, including representatives from technology giants IBM and Huawei and Wanda, one of the world's largest multinational groups. The position will rotate every six months.

The purpose of TWG China is to promote exchanges between global members of the alliance and Chinese project participants and technology users, including Taiwan and Hong Kong. At the same time, it promotes the development of the Chinese developer community and encourages technical support for projects.

At the same time, TWG China is also responsible for organizing conferences, hackathons, training courses, and other community activities to promote blockchain knowledge promotion, research, and development. New developers can learn how to provide code to the community and understand project planning and development projects.

Notable projects organized by the group in China include the upcoming Asia Hackathon in March 2017. It will be held this week, on January 7, in the tech hub of Shenzhen, and later in Shanghai.
