    - Daniel: haven't heard of any
    - libp2p focused blog: https://blog.libp2p.io/2022-12-19-libp2p-webtransport/
    - Plan todo a collaboration with Outercore with a example/blog entry that is IPFS focused
        - Daniel got snagged with various issues (e.g., resource manager)
- Daniel IPFS EngRes Roadmap 2023
    - Biglep: For Kubo, need to incorporate new things from lab week & 2023 PL planning. Will also have a big update from colo with ProbeLab next week.
    - Elliot: For Helia, regular demo days starting week of Jan 23 (community cal?). Github issue [#5](https://github.com/ipfs/helia/issues/5) in the repo (https://github.com/ipfs/helia) for any comments on roadmap. Biglep: Anyone sufficiently motivated should be able to come and see what's going on, and even contribute.
- Daniel IPFS Community Calendar: any thing left out?
    - https://lu.ma/ipfs
    - Elliot: There is a weekly js-ipfs Triage meeting every Friday; I'm not sure if that's on the community cal, but I think it probably should be.
    - Note: we're deprecating the IPFS Google Calendar
- Jamz: IPFS Docs next steps

- Mosh: Adoption update
    - Studio 3S - IPFS plugin for Unreal Engine (https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/ipfs) is doing well, 2,200+ downloads since it became free 2 weeks ago

        - https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/ipfs
- Mosh: IPFS Thing & libp2p
    - IPFS Thing targeting 5 days (~April 17-25 window). Does libp2p want to carve out some days or run a separate event?
- Elliot: New JS multiformats
    - We need to upgrade everything to use the new [JS multiformat](https://github.com/multiformats/js-multiformats). It contains the CID class which is used everywhere, so it's a relatively large and tedious task. Alex @achingbrain plans to do/complete this work Monday, 2023-01-09, so this is a short-term request. But this is a good opportunity for other engineers (within PL or in the community) to help out with some important and well-scoped work.
