I am Gavin Wood, co-founder of Ethereum, and Vitalik Buterin and Jeffrey Wilcke, two of the three directors of Eth Dev NFP organization that manages the development (under a contract from Ethereum Suisse) of Ethereum blockchain. This is a brief update to inform everyone about what’s happened in the last few days.
This is a beautiful couch, taken back in time to the 1960s. It’s located in the middle of the hotel, surrounded by Alex Leverington in an armchair, Aeron Buchanan in the locker, and Soviet lighting equipment. MIX. Frankenstein brings life to your work and gives it an unflinching glow. I feel like there is still a lot of work to do. I’m on the set of Anneka Challenge and it is not obvious that it is taking shape. This is in large part due to us. Anneka Rice, Sarah O’Neill, who is working around the clock to get this venue ready for ÐΞVcon-0, our first developer symposium. Assisting her, at all times of the day, is inimitable Roland, a hardened international interior designer. I cannot wait to read her memoirs.
On a personal note, I must say that the past few months were some of my busiest. These past two weeks I have spent my time between Switzerland, the UK, Stephan, Ian, and Louis. Despite the attractions of England’s north, it’s great to be back in Berlin. It’s hard to leave the wonderful combination of delicious burgers and cocktails, gorgeous surroundings, and great people. Awesome C++ programmers can take this as a hint. (-:)
Technicians
Over the past few weeks, we’ve made a number of major revisions to the protocol, mostly provisions for creating thin client ÐApp nodes. In due course, a director post will detail these. However, suffice it to state that we are more dedicated than ever to the Ethereum blockchain making it possible to create massively multi-tenant, decentralized applications for all sizes devices. The seventh proof-of-concept model in our series is in development and will be released shortly.
New Meat
As time passes, our team becomes stronger. I am happy to announce that Dr. Sven Ehlert has joined us. He will manage our development operations, clean up the build process and make the build as strong as possible, Caktux in our CI systems, and, most importantly, helping to design a stress test harness that will simulate a variety of extreme situations, measuring, and analysing. He is also a scrum expert and can help us streamline certain development processes as we grow our team.
It is also a pleasure to share that Dr. Jutta Steiner will be managing our security audit in close collaboration with them. In addition to being an avid application developer, she also has a track record of excellent project management and an excellent understanding not only of cutting-edge technology but also the human processes that underpin it.
Thank you! Dr. Andreas Lubbe. We are long-standing members of the Berlin Ethereum community and have been involved in Ethereum-related code (a node.js fanatic), we have been working more closely on the secure contract document framework. Ethereum (SECDoc), and the natural language specification format NatSpec. I look forward to a great cooperation.
In addition to Lefteris, today’s first official day for us was today, when he started working with Christian on Solidity. We have two new developers joining our team, focusing on the SECDoc or NatSpec parts. Yann Levreau from France and Arkadiy Paronyan from Moscow. They both have significant experience in C++ and related technology and we will be able to help develop the tools and pave the way for the IDE vision.
Finally, it is a pleasure to inform you that Christoph Jentzsch, although he initially joined us for 2 months, will return to the project in the new year full-time and continue his highly valued work in our testing and the overall health of C++.
