+
+## Discussions
+
+* Showed the demo of the download dependencies feature to [Gaurav](https://github.com/GMishx) and got feedback for the same.
+* Discussed using the `ununpack` agent for unpacking the downloaded packages rather than the current dependency on python libraries.
+* Rather than taking an input directory as input to the `--sbom-path`, it would be better to take a single file as input.
+  * Software projects only have one `sbom` as a convention. So, if the project is using multiple languages or dependencies, then they are combined to a single sbom file, which can be passed to our scanner.
+  * We want to implement different parsers for different languages. So, we need a parent class of the parsers whose job is to set which parser should handle a particular component.
+  * We can differentiate between languages and which parser to use based on the `purl` for the component.
+* Got a new feature request in order to allow scanning a particular directory by providing the path to it via CLI.
+
+
+## Work Done
+
+* Implemented the feature of scanning dependencies using `fossologyscanner`.
+  * Introduced a module `ScanDeps` that has a Parsers file that contains specific parsers for each supported language.
+  * Currently, it has `PythonParser` only. Working on `NPMParser`. The job of the parsers is to take the sbom file and extract the download urls from it,
+  save it in a particular format like a tuple of `(<package_name> , <download_url>)`.
+  * These results are then fed to a `Downloader` class that has methods to concurrently download these packages from the urls, and then extract them
+  from their respective formats to a directory called `pkg_downloads`.
+    * The `download_concurrently` method improves the speed of downloading and exporting packages significantly by allowing multiple downloads to run on different threads parallelly.
+* Started working on the new feature and improving the different parsers.
+
+
+## Planning for next week
+
+* Complete the PythonParser and raise a PR for the same.
+* Complete the directory scan feature and raise a PR.
+* Start working on `NPMParser` next.
