    • CI for Indy Node - merged

    • CD for Indy Node - active development - no official PR ready - waiting on Plenum

    • Stable to Master merge

      • In process, but reintroducing things that were deleted, reverting state

  • Indy-Plenum

    • CI for Indy Plenum - merged

    • CD for Indy Plenum - draft done - the publishing is not added, but will be – fairly easy - Issue 1526 (Robin - DCO) - PR1526

    • Stable to Master merge

      • In process - some issues found, but PR resolves them - waiting for review

  • Indy-SDK

    • CI/CD for Indy-SDK looks good – paused - ready to move forward (ABSA work).

  • Sovrin Release - @Wade Barnes

    • Working on CI/CD - Resource found for that, starting soon - Anmol Singh - contractor through Sovrin

    • Will be adding Ubuntu 20.04 support

  • indy-test-automation – had been working, but it is dependent on the Sovrin packages that are not made yet.

  • Need to research the publishing of the artifacts from GHA to the Sovrin repos – it's magic right now, needs to be brought into the open.

• Next Indy-Node release – need CD completed.  Once done, then we can plan the final steps to produce a release.

  • Wade to work on a checklist for what is needed, and who is doing what for the initial release.

• Ubuntu 20.04@Renata Toktar and @Robin Klemens

  • Working on tests related to Python 3.8 upgrade – most are running, 4-5 to go, parallel looking at specific packages to be updated

  • All tests resolved

  • CI-CD changes for plenum Ubuntu in progress / getting close

  • Do we still need to build the deb files of rocksdb or can we directly use https://packages.ubuntu.com/source/focal/rocksdb at v. 5.17.2? In Ubuntu 16.04 we use rocksdb v. 5.8.8

• Indy Contribution Campaign

  • Timing – HGF coming up –  timing perhaps best is after HGF

  • Video – 3 month lead time on that – Digital Identity

  • Look at second half of the year – but we need to get started

• Indy DID Method Spec organizing

    • Old Indy-SDK epic, old Indy epic, (must login to see epics)

• Indy-SDK – done.  1.1.16 is in the wild!  Merge still needs to be done, but it's ready.  All other steps are done.
