Greetings OpenStack community,

We had a short but sweet meeting today, as all four core members were around for the first time in several weeks. The one action item from last week, reaching out to the people working on the GraphQL experiment, was done, but so far we have not heard back on their progress.

notmyname suggested that we investigate the IETF [7] draft proposal for Best Practices when building HTTP protocols [8] which may be relevant to our work, so we all agreed to review the document (all 30 pages of it!) by next week, where we will discuss it further.

Finally, we merged two patches that had had universal approval (yes, the *entire* universe), sending cdent's stats through the roof.

As always if you're interested in helping out, in addition to coming to the meetings, there's also:

* The list of bugs [5] indicates several missing or incomplete guidelines.
* The existing guidelines [2] always need refreshing to account for changes over time. If you find something that's not quite right, submit a patch [6] to fix it.
* Have you done something for which you think guidance would have made things easier but couldn't find any? Submit a patch and help others [6].

# Newly Published Guidelines

* Expand schema for error.codes to reflect reality
