Agenda

  • Post 1.4.0 release – cleanup and new features.

  • New name and logo – discuss – ACA-Py Issue 3929:

    • Last ACA-Pug – agreed on new name: Adaptive Cloud Agent - Python (ACA-Py).

    • Proposed Logos – choice?

      • From Patrick St. Louis:

        • The idea is that you have the shape of a cloud with multiple arrows moving forward, which represent different work items for people to bring the project forward. Kanon is a good example, WebVH another. Whatever things that people contribute to the project, and all these contributions are moving the project forward – making it adaptive.

          Another analogy that could be derived from this logo is that if you look at the cloud section, it's separated in three different sections, and you can picture these as the three core roles of SSI: issuer, holder, and verifier, which are all being brought forward by new implementation, showing that the project adapts to new and emerging standards.

      • From John Jordan :

        • The following ACA-Py logo embodies the principles of decentralized trust and interoperability. Three independent arcs form an implied triangle — a visual metaphor for the trust triangle between issuer, holder, and verifier. Each element stands apart, emphasizing autonomy, yet their alignment conveys mutual confidence and shared integrity. The design’s open geometry reflects ACA-Py’s protocol-agnostic architecture and future-oriented scalability, while the bold orange accent represents proof and verification in motion. The result is a mark that is technically precise, minimalist, and human-centered — mirroring ACA-Py’s role as a foundational, flexible component in the verifiable data ecosystem.

  • OpenID4VCs in ACA-Py – an update on OpenID4VCs and on the ACA-Py plugins that support the protocol.

  • Open Discussion.
