10th open maintainers call

[mxinden]

Hi everyone,

I (@mxinden) will be in the open maintainers call tomorrow (Tuesday). Not sure who else will join given the end of the year approaching. See libp2p calendar.

https://meet.jit.si/rust-libp2p-open-maintainers-call

Everyone is welcome to join, listen along, propose topics and join the discussions.

See you all tomorrow.

I'll be there.

Pointers shared during the meeting:

• Max has pager setup, thus no need to be online over the break.
• CI failures due to protoc installation rate limiting are slowing us down. Any quick fix ideas?
  • Just add a token: https://github.com/subspace/subspace/blob/bfda79167fe3fc83d60786b3f55f944a8915e6aa/.github/workflows/rust.yml#L42-L43
  • ci: install protoc from repositories where possible #3258
• Kademlia backpressure: How to achieve high concurrency deterministically? #3235
  • quick fix: buffer outbound messages if we have more than 32 in flight at the moment
  • introduce jitter for announcements to prevent them all triggering at the same time
• kademlia: API consistency between PUT record/provider and queries: Should we also remove quorums from PUT and have the user "stop" propagation once enough PUTs have been successful?

  • kademlia-exporter.max-inden.de/
• Protocol upgrades
  • Simplify ConnectionHandler trait by removing as many associated types as possible #2863
