A group of individuals at the session included Tim O'Reilly, Linus Torvalds, Tom Paquin, Jamie Zawinski, Larry Wall,
Brian Behlendorf, Sameer Parekh,
Eric Allman, Greg Olson, Paul Vixie, John Ousterhout, Guido van Rossum, Philip Zimmermann, John Gilmore and Eric S. Raymond.
According to Behlendorf, these improvements are fundamental for providing varying
degrees of access to information(such as a provenance tracking company that needs to prove the origin of an object to its very source), while still protecting the price paid in a business transaction, for example.
Once existing users of Fabric's previous
versions“grab” the new version 1.0 code, as Behlendorf described the process,
a few changes to the interface will need to be made, and any changes made to the“Chaincode” already being used from the earlier version will need to be modified.
