The Core Community Call is a discussion between developers of the Solana Network.

Today we discussed:

-Program Runtime V2 - https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/issues/28755

Solana Core Community Call - Jan 20th 2023

The Solana validator community discusses a recently identified consensus but that was fixed in version 1.14.12, the upcoming core dev sync on January 20th, and validator client updates. We also celebrate the 400th mainnet-beta Solana epoch!

Chat logs:

00:07:51.703,00:07:54.703
Steve Czabaniuk: Allesandro - can you give us the V2 teaser?

00:11:55.367,00:11:58.367
Code Monkey: Tim, have you thought of having these type of meetings geared towards RPC operators as well? There seems to be a big gap from the core team supporting the validator operators over the RPC operators. As someone that runs both, I would love to see some of the core team become a lot more involved on the RPC side.

00:15:11.052,00:15:14.052
Nick Garfield: For the security workshop, the date on the slide was Jan 20 (tomorrow). I assume this was a typo and Jan 25 was intended?

00:15:50.582,00:15:53.582
Tim Garcia: Yes, sorry typo.  25th

00:17:30.160,00:17:33.160
Emilio Oberg: party when 420 :d
