Future topics

Next Week:

.devcontainers demo (Jason Leach)
AFJ as a mediator. Thoughts and conversation on High Availability (HA) support. Anyone who runs a mediator in prod will probably want HA (3 pods, 3 servers, etc) (Jason Leach / Timo Glastra)

Future Topics:

It would be good to discuss OCA implementation in AFJ and in Aries Bifold and where should be a boundary between the two in this feature.
