Bacalhau project report 20220302

We took a break from feature work for a couple of weeks to focus on paying down technical debt, adding a docker executor so that Bacalhau can run anywhere - which unblocked getting CI working - getting our first integration test working, wrote a design document, and did a major refactor to introduce the first interface in the code!

• It feels like we've slowed down, but the project is in much better shape now, which will speed us up in the next few weeks and avoid regressions as the codebase grows and we add complexity and contributors. Keeping tests green is how we scale the project! This is essential to evolving the project from a prototype into a running network in the future, as well as adding more contributors.
• We aligned with Juan on the big vision and started work on a design document for what Bacalhau will look like post prototype. The design doc will be ready for wider consumption next week.
• We spoke with the FVM team who are interested in building a smart contract implementation of the scheduler. We are introducing a new Scheduler interface which will make it possible for the FVM team to build a smart contract implementation to issue a $BACAL coin!
• David also got binary releases working on GitHub and got Bacalhau running on his setup on DigitalOcean, and is developing demo instructions. And tweeted his success :)
