These Mentorship Spotlights highlight the work done by the Mentors and the Mentees as part of their program participation. Learn more here.   Mentorship Project Title Support Decentralized Governance for Smart Contracts in Fabric Python SD Description To support decentralized governance for smart contracts in Hyperleger Fabric Python SDK and add features such as private data sharing/verifying and external chaincode launcher. Status COMPLETED  Difficulty MEDIUM  Additional Details Learning Objectives, Expected Outcomes and Project Results available here.

I love the very process of learning a framework used by the industry and helping to design and code new features. Another cool thing about open source contribution is the freedom that you can work anywhere, communicating and pair-programming with your mentor and collaborators over the screen. The most exciting thing is that I gained experience in working with the open source community and turning my coding passion into real impact, which school projects can hardly match.” Mentor [image_with_animation image_url=”116284″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”] Dixing Xu “The mentorship program is a great opportunity for students to learn and contribute to the project and Hyperledger community. I was a mentee three years ago, and I have been working on the Fabric Python SDK since then. The developers from the Python community will be able to use the Fabric SDK more conveniently with the support of decentralized governance for smart contracts. The management of the new chaincode lifecycle has been implemented thanks to Kiv. I am happy to help Kiv learn more about Hyperledger Fabric and the Python SDK, and I hope we can continue to work on adding more features to the project.” A special thanks to the Hyperledger member companies for funding this important program.
