Agenda: https://github.com/ethereum-cat-herders/PM/issues/375

Hi everyone, welcome to Ethereum Cateter Meeting 120.

So to start with ecosystem project demo, earlier we thought to do it as part of ECH.

We are now contemplating if this can be done on Thursdays.

Zeki, I know you have done 1 of the interview last week, a week before.

So maybe I can help you with a few more apps who are interested to show the demo and we can plan it on biweekly every Thursday.

I was talking to Micah and the intercept as well.

They are just waiting for Micah to not be sick.

So I think we have a couple people lined up

Yeah, we can collaborate and we can pipeline it for the upcoming weeks.

The next 1 is Ethereum network upgrade as part of Ken Kuhn and Dana upgrades.

We did share it with yesterday, especially with DevNet 10 launch, the changes in the CL specification, especially 1.4.0 beta 3 will be tested on DevNet 10 and in the next development network.

However, there are some blockers to the launch of DevNet 10, including waiting for new software releases from the client team.

So it has been waiting, and there are some concerns towards integrating mainnet kzg configuration into the client software, particularly related to go-kzg.

So we'll wait to hear more updates in the upcoming calls.

Next is Dynkoon interrupt testing call 33, which happened a week back.

And especially since we have covered DevNet 10, on the DevNet 10, there hasn't been much of change.

So this update is from October 16, right?

So there has been much of change since October 12th.

Network has been spammed with blobs over the weekend and dropped some stats.

And all blobs are included by the client.

And we are expecting all the client combination would include blobs at the same rate.

But we have seen Eric Berndt client produce less blobs, blocks with blobs, which we should look into.

They're producing some blocks with blobs, just not as many as others.

For others, it's 33% for Erik Gern, right?

So this is something the team is looking into it.

So otherwise, we are pretty clear on the input and testing code.

So there's a video, if anyone interested can go in detail and there is also a Google Doc where call somebody has been captured.

As part of this, we have as well included some useful resources, especially with Dane Cone, right?

There are multiple PIP and EIP has been conducted.

So pretty much for most of the EAPs, we have added a video with respective authors.

We would request anyone who are listening to this call, please go over them and feel free to get back to us if you have any question.

We'll be able to help you in bridging with authors or the AIPs editors.

The next 1 is protocol development and research.

So I pretty much like here with updates but we will follow up with that.

Anyone else has updates on your implementer call 25, please feel free to pitch in.

Otherwise, we should be able to move on to the next 1.

The next 1 is even fellowship and hackathon.

Eat India is happening between 8th and 10th of December.

To have a family commitment, though I stay in Bangalore, I have a family come may not be able to make it I'm talking to Irish to figure out this is something we can do I know he's also as well as some other pre-planned commitment.

We'll figure it out if we can have some presence in India.

And is anyone going to DevConnect which is happening in Istanbul between November 13th to 19th?

I think I'm not just to pay for if I'm paying attention yet.

Yeah, the next 1 is new initiative, as we should have been discussions, right?

Because the STEM project demo is going really well.

So we are super excited about having a pipeline of session, pipeline of demos happening every bi-weekly on Thursdays.

You can look for more updates in our upcoming weeks.

The last 1 is Octane Epoch 1, the demo video was updated.

Create a video series on how to run a full node.

I think, Zeke, this is something we'll drop for now.

I yeah, I think for now, we're still trying to figure out how exactly we want to do that.

And also, maybe if we can ask that note for some help, but yeah right now, nothing.

And also, there are any ideas, specific to community engagement, please do bring it up here.

It'll be more than happy to discuss and brainstorm around it.

The next 1 is general updates and discussion.

And later we do have about 6,750 followers on Twitter, 2,115 users in Discord, and about 3,200 users and subscribers in YouTube.

We do request folks who are listening to this call, who are part of this call, do try to retweet like that tweets as we share.

So we just wanna bring more engagement towards our tweets.

So, most recent updates was, I made a PR earlier today.

I just actually just an hour ago, which included adding DevNet 10, which just, I think just launched like the other day.

So I added that to the TenCoon page as well as doing some cleanup on the podcast page.

We will also be adding another page for all the testnets that are both active and deprecated.

If I were to give an estimate, they'll probably be included by next general meeting.

I do have a follow up question on our Google Analytics.

Is a stats getting captured in the Google Analytics dashboard or are we facing some issues?

When we looked at it, it was a little weird.

So I don't know If I implemented it wrong or something is going on with on their side, that's something I'm going to have to look through more.

Just because When I checked it, it showed the same page, but with multiple languages, and it wasn't reporting the page views accurately.

Maybe we can take a look at it once we are done with the grant items.

I know we haven't had any questions on this, especially for DENKUN.

I pretty much have, I'm mapping about like 5 questions for each EIPs.

So I'll share it with you as a Google Doc, George.

Do take a look at it and followed by based on your feedback, I'll go ahead and update it to the GitHub repo.

I know Pooja had mentioned that she asked me to look into LearnTo and GitHub.

I'll go take a look at it and update it in the format it's supposed to be.

This is something we can get started this week.

Maybe we can start this activity this week.

Next is ACH operation bits from 8th category.

This is something I'm actively working on.

I'm trying to have at least 1 tweet every day and followed by like multiple tweets and as required, right?

At least bare minimum is 1 tweet which I'm doing and I will schedule a few aspects to go out for every week, right?

Today's focus will be mostly on DevNet 9, followed by client releases, research updates, EAP updates.

So this is something which we are tracking in a Google Sheet.

Happy to take any thoughts, feedback, and if you find something interesting, do let us know.

We'll be more than happy to tweet about it.

We are getting few shots done and we are uploading it.

We do see some bandwidth issue with with respect to editing the videos.

Same follows for people need short shots.

Yeah, so I don't actually have the recording yet for this week, but when I receive it, we will be putting up a podcast this week of whatever the most recent PEEP is.

Yeah, and PEEP and EAP upcoming meetings can be checked looking to the schedule, followed by ECH funding Octant, EPOC 1, we have already applied for it.

So we will do, find a way to, find a way to promote ourselves to see if folks can vote for us for the APOC 1.

And OP and Zik is there any other Any anywhere else are we applying for funds?

Do you have any further update on ECH funding?

Kibith, I know we're supposed to be looking at.

I haven't looked at it yet, but should get on that.

And with KidCoin, GrandVidya did notice some issue with the wallet address.

I'll be catching up with Zeke after this call to sort it out.

All CodeDev execution notes, 172 is present.

AAP editing office meeting note is present.

So yeah, pretty much we have all the notes here.

And from looking at 119, I think this is a note which was pending which will get completed today.

We'll have someone else work on it and get it done.

Otherwise, we are good for today's agenda.

Is there anything else anyone wants to bring up here?

Thank you everyone for joining the meeting.
