# KERI Dev Focus Call #8, 2023-01-05

Repository naming (a poll in the CESR Slack channel and a live vote at the next call), licensing of the forked code, and contribution rules that avoid copying code between the repositories. Also an update from a conversation on KERIox (a database interface so it can use LMDB like KERIpy), Provenant's core-API design with a focus on the FFI (foreign function interface), and a plan to invite Smith to present CESR to the group.

Labels: reading level Practitioner; evidence informative (an author's paper, deck, tutorial or post explaining the suite).
