  • #3488 (from @darrelmiller 's comment below)

  • #3286 (an old security PR for 3.2.0, since we seem to have a security theme at the moment 🧐 )
  • #2582 (a proposal with a discussion ending in a "so... what now?" comment)
• Is this "guidelines" directory still relevant, and if so is it living in the right place?

[miqui]

adding: https://github.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification/issues/3598. (OAS extensions)

[hudlow]

If possible, I'd like to follow up on https://github.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification/issues/3572, but unfortunately I can only join at the bottom of the hour.

[AxelNennker]

Could we talk about https://github.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification/issues/3595 in this meeting?

Some things we discussed today could be simplified if we had oauth2 metadata in openapi not only openIdConnectConfigurationUrl

Recap from my notes (we have AI transcript but you might not want to read all of it)

• Very good turnout this week with 17+ people.
• Updates from SIGs: Moonwalk has good meetings and talked about deployments, both Overlays and Workflows are seeing some activity.
• TSC membership updates are expected next week.
• #3488 needs some formatting/editing but got good feedback and is needed for openapi to become a media type.
• #3584 concerns the modern, secure use of OAuth2. We concluded that OpenAPI is here to enable users to describe their APIs, not to judge if they are doing it right. We'll update our examples to use updated practices (@AxelNennker can you help me identify which examples those are? Ideally by opening an issue that someone can work on) and create learning resources on how it should be done. Edit: #3603 is the followup issue
• #3286 proposes adding an audience field; group feedback was to add it as an x-audience extension first and show adoption/usage before proposing (should we have closed this?)
• #2582 is an old issue about sorting out the security schemes. This needs major work so has been moved to the Moonwalk repository. Once we settle how the security schemes will look in the 4.0 version, we'll try to adopt as much as we can for the 3.x branches but it makes no sense to invent something now and something completely different in a year.
• #3580 PR to remove the old extensions stuff relating to OpenAPI 2.0 was merged.
• #3598 is about fleshing out our registries for extensions and we also discussed the use of vendor namespaces. The tl;dr is that we should encourage extensions that can be used with multiple tools, but that specific things can still use a prefix. @miqui is going to work on adding some common extensions to the list.
• #3572 proposes adding more array format styles, and we'd appreciate comments and thoughts on that one if anyone has any.
