Agenda

• Record the meeting
• OWF

  • OWF is interested in 'wallet engine components' so viewing AFJ as a wallet engine will be a good frame.

  • we'll talk about common components before, so askar will be explained already. probably an architecture diagram?

  • the 'features' list will be similar to the other projects, but noting things like Bluetooth and OpenID4vc progress will be interesting.

• Shared Components React Native / Bifold integration
  • Remove support for Indy SDK?
  • Lowest Android  version?
  • Migration Script support version?
• Module bundles
  • https://github.com/hyperledger/aries-framework-javascript/issues/1297
• 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)
• Open Issues / Pull Requests

Future topics

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.
