BDK Technical Talks

[thunderbiscuit]

This issue will track ideas and scheduling for the BDK technical talks.

Outline

• Every 2 weeks
• 2 time slots (to keep it simple):
  • Friday @ 13:00 UTC
  • Thursday @ 22:00 UTC (Friday 9am Australia, Friday 7am Japan, Thursday 2pm Los Angeles)
• First presentation on April 4th.
• 30m to 2h
• Any BDK-related topic is fair game. Speaker's choice. Hopefully something they have specialized knowledge in (specific part of the codebase, CI, sample applications, architecture, blockchain clients, language bindings, documentation, etc.).
• The presentations typically happen over Jitsi, at meet.jit.si/BdkTechnicalTalks.

Put me down for one of those June dates ✅

(Talking iOS wallet)

[nymius]

I can talk about Silent Payments work, roadmap and requirements for BDK in May 1/2.

[thunderbiscuit]

Awesome! What timeslot would you like @nymius?

[nymius]

13 UTC should be right

[andreasgriffin]

Awesome. Where are these presented?

[thunderbiscuit]

@andreasgriffin I think we'll try Jitsi calls, at least for the first one. I want something people can join without having to join the Discord server.

[ValuedMammal]

I have an idea for a tech-talk / coding demo related to topological sorting of wallet txs.

title: "Which came first: getting your txs in the right order".

[thunderbiscuit]

@ValuedMammal should I put you down for May 15 or June 19? Let me know your preference.

[ValuedMammal]

@thunderbiscuit May 15

[rustaceanrob]

Tentatively I will go for June 20th to discuss a Kyoto backend variant for the iOS wallet
