+
+## Agenda
+
+- go-ipfs PR merged: feat: gateway subdomains + http proxy mode
+    - https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/6096
+    - next: ipfs-companion taking advantage of subdomains over http proxy by default
+- ipfs-desktop: 
+  - [v0.10.4 passed macOS notarization](https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/ipfs-desktop/pull/1365#issuecomment-598213301)! 
+- Unlocking IPNS resolution in browser: https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs/issues/2921
+  - right now hardcoded to DHT module/implementation, which does not work in web browser
+  - should be possible to decouple it from that and leverage delegated routing modules from libp2p
+  - probably something SIG could look at in Q2
+- Road to PeerStore refactor [libp2p/js-libp2p#582](https://github.com/libp2p/js-libp2p/issues/582)
+    - Mildly related: issue about selecting type of datastore persistence via js-ipfs config: [js-ipfs: Support for Persistent Storage in Web Browsers](https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs/issues/2937)
+- libdweb - help for Sam Macbeth's PR 
+    - https://github.com/libdweb/libdweb/pull/2
+    - the libdweb project moved from mozilla to a standalone org
+    - latest firefox nightly breaks it, hard to maintain
+    - anyone familiar with Gecko codebase? check the PR
+- Brave, what's next? any updates on local discovery?
+    - embedded js-ipfs may not be feasible long term (google deprecating Chrome Apps, APIs may break after 2022)
+    - started thinking about adding new node type based on rust-ipfs or embedding go-ipfs
+        - will sync with Brave, probably go-ipfs will happen first, as they have experience with emebedding TOR binar already
+        - ipfs-companion would be the UI for managing embedded go-ipfs
+- Protocol handler devgrant
+    - PR draft waiting  for feedback https://github.com/ipfs/devgrants/pull/30
+- Opera release coming, drafting blog post asap
+- Chrome 81 introduces the mobile web to NFC with an origin trial:
+  - https://blog.chromium.org/2020/02/chrome-81-near-field-communications.html
+  - https://web.dev/nfc
+  - potential use: decentralized, p2p signaling on mobile
