Agenda

• Release 1.2.0 Released – new LTS release.

  • Follow ups on the release complete – need to get announcement out.

• Next Release – PRs

  • Breaking change PRs? VCDM 2.0, dropping AIP 1.0?

• Progress on generalizing DID Registration in ACA-Py and new DID Method plugins

  • Plugin for Cheqd support – compatibility testing with Credo?

    • No automated testing, but the developers were using both during development.

    • Also tested with Aries VCX and that works

    • @Daniel Bluhm to offer an approach for adding interop testing that has been used in the past

  • Plugin for did:webvh in progress – defining how to do AnonCreds support

    • Ideas for did:webvh

      • Have the controller only involved with the keys and services in the DIDDoc itself – not the did:webvh specific keys – Authorization keys, pre-rotation keys.

      • The controller can flag to use pre-rotation, but ACA-Py takes care of the creation of the pre-rotated key.

      • For first implementation – no DID update(?), no witness support, only a single ACA-Py managed Authorization key, no external pre-rotation key provider.

        • Once we have that in place, we can consider other features and how best to manage them in ACA-Py / ACA-Py Plugin.

      • Key references to did:webvh keys reference the full DID URL – <did>?versionId=<ver>#key-ref

        • Make sure the DID Resolvers support that functionality

  • Plugin for Universal Resolver

  • DID Registration PR/Document from @Daniel Bluhm#3375

• Other Topics for Discussion

  • Kafka Plugin

    • Concern – not in active use, and no updates, and locked to an older version of Python.

      • Do we have a way to flag “archived” plugin?

      • Document in Readme “Obsolete Plugins” – point to release tag, and delete from repo.

  • Aries repos – SocketDock – what to do with it? DIDComm Mediator at OWF?

    • didcomm-socketdock in OpenWallet Foundation.
