Notes

• Lukasz Gornicki provided an update on the AsyncAPI participation in Google Summer of Code. Thanks to Postman we got 5 spots, which means that next few months 5 amazing students will work with us on new libraries for AsyncAPI. To learn more about the ideas read this list or just stay tuned for an article with updates on what happened in May at AsyncAPI (rss feed)
• Lukasz Gornicki provided an update on work towards 2.1 release. All work tracked here. Automation of release candidates' publish process is done. Automation of docs publishing to the website is in progress. Remember that if you have some proposal that is already there in the repo for few months, no objections from the community to get it into the spec, but you cannot champion it atm, feel free to share it in our Slack with our most active community, maybe there will be someone that can help out to push it through the process.
• Jonas Lagon shared an overview of the discussion around intend-driven API and the current API design. We had a long discussion and explained well the core of the current issues with the API so this part of the meeting is a good kick-starter for you to join this discussion. We need you there!
• Colin Sullivan from NATS project joined to talk about the current contributions of AsyncAPI to NATS and offered help. The most active project around NATS is TypeScript/Node.js NATS template and we definitely need help there, but there are also other areas, like the request/reply pattern discussion that is also interesting for NATS. The best is to join our Slack and discuss details there.

In case we have nothing on the agenda and no questions, would it make sense to bring up this discussion @derberg ? I could prepare a 5 min presentation that lays out the dilemma.

@jonaslagoni go ahead! not many people joined the discussion yet and any activity that can change is most welcome.

@derberg I will only focus on the discussion you and I have had in regards to why solve the perspective issue in the parser instead of solving it for the spec.
