Meeting only for ni hao insiders
I loved watching live RD sessions. I think it creates a lot of expectation among the community and it’s not the same watching it few days later.
The Public Global R&D (on the last Wednesday of each month) is no longer live streamed, but is uploaded to YouTube within one week. Yesterday’s Public Global R&D will be on YouTube soon.

So that means it’s not Public at all. Will be made public after the fact is very different. Also we are not talking about live streaming on Youtube, that was made very clear in the last meetup. We were asking as why the access for ordinary users and even 8 year investors who were signed up before and took part in the real time Zoom call was removed from the public. Specially when everyone was looking for the quote “BOOM DAO will be presented by @atomikm during the upcoming DFINITY Global R&D event on Wednesday, July 26th.”
Anyways thank you for taking your time trying to shine a light on this.

Can you clarify why the Global R&D sessions are no longer live streamed? If it is a logistical or technical issue with many-party Zoom sessions then I think we would all understand but the open, live, watch-only participation is clearly valued by many community members. If we don’t understand the reasoning behind the decision then it’s open to (mis)interpretation about why the live stream access has ceased.

It’s probably to add a bit of polish/editing to the public facing R&D video before it goes out.
Occasionally live technical demos (from the foundation or community) don’t go as planned, and everyone would rather not wait sitting around for someone to figure out how to share their screen. I think it’s great that we even get visibility into the monthly R&D in the first place (those meetings didn’t used to be public at all).
Apple’s big events are pretty much all prerecorded these days anyways.

Hi Icarus
After careful consideration, we have decided to discontinue live streaming and, instead, will be uploading edited recordings to official YouTube channel.
Starting now, all Global R&D sessions can be accessed and enjoyed at this link: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLuhDt1vhGcrdKiAYaVbTJGbqwmqSEBx4p
This decision comes after observing a gradual decline in live streaming views over the past 12 months. It appears that our audience prefers the convenience of watching recorded sessions at their own pace.
Additionally, we have taken into account the feedback from our viewers, and we recognize that the user experience during live streaming and webinars wasn’t always ideal. With the new approach of providing edited recordings, which include chapters, making it much easier for users to navigate directly to the specific sessions they are interested in.
We look forward to sharing exciting and insightful content with you on our YouTube channel.

Hi guys, I want to suggest that you update each of the video title and description on YouTube to include the name of speakers or product / services youll be talking about etc…as is, they almost have the same titles… All have Global R&D with the month added to the end of it.
Not many people outside our little IC world will find and learn more about IC as no one knows what Global R&D is and with so much content out there, good to claim more potential eye balls…you could have titles such as Dfinity’s Global R&D with Mike Fodder from X App etc etc…
And in the description go more in detail and mention Internet Computer etc… This is only a quick example, but people need to be able to easily find these informative videos easily , i men, get them showing up …

Dfinity Global R&D Summary: October 23
Dfinity’s Public Global R&D session serves as a collaborative platform where key updates and demonstrations on the Internet Computer (IC) are presented monthly. Below are critical highlights from the October 23 event:
ICP Metrics Update
Kyle provides insights on the inflation rate, minting, and burning metrics, indicating a projected finish of 2023 with a 3.8% inflation rate. There’s been an all-time high network activity with a significant portion of ICP minting attributable to voting rewards (spawn maturity) and node provider rewards. Numerous ICP wallets are active, and meaningful wallets with a balance of two ICP or more have seen substantial growth. To see the full discussion by Kyle on ICP’s performance, click here.
Local Canister Testing with Pocket IC
Michael discusses the release of the Rust library for Pocket IC and its advantages over the local replica with DFX. Pocket IC allows for faster and deterministic testing solutions, improving developer productivity. The switch from local replica to Pocket IC reduced test execution time dramatically as demonstrated by Nathan’s TypeScript library example. For greater details, watch this segment.
Neuron Enhancements for SNS Launches
Björn elaborates on enhancements to the Neuron Fund’s participation in Service Nervous System (SNS) launches, including matched funding and UX improvements to distinguish contributions. A new matching function and SNS launchpad updates aim to better align incentives for projects and increase user clarity. The proposed changes are expected to be released in early to mid-November Björn’s presentation elaborates on the implementation and user impact.
ICP on Ethereum and ERC-20 Token for ICP
Paul introduces ICP on Ethereum as a proof of concept, providing an ERC-20 token linked to a real ICP locked in a canister. The demonstration highlights the minting and burning processes between ICP and ERC-20 tokens, showcasing chain key technology cross-chain capabilities with Ethereum. Dive into the nuances of the proof of concept here.
Motoko Stable Regions
Claudio’s session dives into the upcoming Motoko language feature: stable regions, which provide a more modular means of utilizing IC’s stable memory. He presents an overview, the motivation for regions, and future enhancements like disaster recovery. To understand the full implications for Motoko development, see the detailed explanation.
Agora’s Web3 Education Platform on ICP
Ethan from AgoraApp discusses their Web3 education and training marketplace on ICP. The platform has developed an interactive development environment supporting multiple Web3 languages, focusing on building a Udemy or Code Academy model for Web3. Watch Ethan’s community demo here.
The Dfinity Global R&D sessions are a treasure trove of updates, insights, and advancements in the IC ecosystem. From technical updates to enhancing developer experiences and expanding educational resources, the event showcases the persistent growth and community efforts in advancing the Internet Computer.
