Agenda

  • Update on BC Gov CWU – anoncreds-rs library in ACA-Py - Indicio
    • Design doc published/accepted
    • Split resolver/registrar
    • Work on all the objects
    • Python Wrapper – updates – this seems to be extra than expected
  • Plugins - a new approach, from Ian Costanzo – based on this HackMd.io document: https://hackmd.io/BnrTas1gQ3aC_-qP7G-Rcg?view
    • Next step – call to action on making the changes, timing, impacts on ACA-Py itself, and on breaking changes for existing plugins
  • Next Release
    • 0.8.0 done
    • Ready for a 1.0.0-rc2 release? Timing? Today? No – leave it for now.
      • Work has started on the last AIP 2.0 issue: the handling of DIDComm peer DIDs
        • See notes on issue 2156 about how to align with AFJs DIDComm peer DIDs
        • Design document coming, and then implementation
  • Concern about ACA-Py throttling on Kubernetes platforms – Issue 2157
    • Question: Is there anything inherently different about ACA-Py from other "typical" Python apps that makes it worse on Kubernetes?
    • Is the use of threading and the operation of the GIL (Global Interpreter Lock) a problem?
  • Other Topics

Upcoming Meeting Topics:

  • Discussion Topics:
    • Update on ACA-Py Container Scanning (brought up last meeting)
    • Multi-architecture containers
      • Issue with BBS+ package – doesn't support ARM containers – need an update to their CI
      • Solution: A third container published that includes BBS+ package, but is single architecture
      • Others are Askar and Indy-SDK
    • Messages getting stuck when a connection is being established.
    • Adding a Documentation site for ACA-Py - as nice as the AFJ one - https://aries.js.org/
  • Does anyone use/see a use case for Web Sockets and Return Route beyond ACA-Py as a mobile agent mediator?
  • Understanding Presentation Request Revocation Intervals
