IOG remains committed to the principles of open source and Cardano community collaboration, which will only strengthen in the age of Voltaire. For the past 12 months, in the spirit of transparency & collaborative development, the IOG Hydra and Mithril teams have been holding monthly open dev calls. Now, both the IOG Plutus and Consensus teams have established technical working groups under Intersect, following a similar approach. And you can get involved.
• First, the Plutus Working Group will hold its second meeting on Tuesday, June 11th, 14:00 UTC. The Plutus Technical Working Group focuses on the development and advancement of Plutus, which is the smart contract execution platform for Cardano. Plutus enables secure and reliable execution of decentralized applications (DApps) on the Cardano blockchain.
• Second, the Consensus team will host their first open meeting on Thursday, June 6th, 14:30 UTC, introducing UTXO-HD and the Peras workstream, to improve Cardano's settlement time, led by Arnaud (@dr_c0d3 on Twitter). Arnaud will also give a quick update on the Ouroboros Leios workstream as the team begins to move from the research phase into the prototyping and development phase.
To participate in these calls, sign-up to be a member of Intersect https://members.intersectmbo.org/registration and you’ll receive an invite to the Discord server in the welcome email, where you'll find meeting links. All are welcome!

We'd like to thank Intersect for their support in facilitating these initiatives and promoting a more collaborative approach to Cardano's development. Also special mention to our Ouroboros-network team, who took the first step to help pilot this program in partnership with the open-source committee (OSC) and holding true to the open-source development outlined in Intersect’s Governance Policy.
Help spread the word by sharing with a friend or colleague who could contribute to Cardano's growth!
