GraphQL Nullability Working Group

This working group is a subcommittee of the GraphQL Working Group with the following primary purpose:

Giving clients a way to influence or override nullability checks within queries.

Anyone in the public GraphQL community may attend a meeting of this subcommittee, provided they first sign the Specification Membership Agreement or belong to an organization which has signed.

This repository holds agendas and notes for all meetings past and upcoming as well as shared RFC documents. Anyone may edit an upcoming event’s agenda to attend or propose an agenda item.

All meetings occur via video conference, however participating company offices are welcome to host guests.

Meetings are on the last Wednesday of every month. Check the agendas for the exact date and time of upcoming meetings.

Keep track of future upcoming meetings by subscribing to the Google Calendar or ical file. (maintained in UTC because time zones are hard).

Participation guidelines

Meetings with many participants, especially over video, can easily get hard to follow or run off course. When we talk about issues we care about, it’s easy to get into heated debate. In order to respect everyone’s time, and arrive to worthwhile outcomes, this subcommittee follows the “Participation guidelines” in the GraphQL Working Group; a summary of which is:

Participate
Don’t talk too much
Volunteer to take notes
Have an outcome in mind
Contribute
Choose your battles
Champion alternatives
Block progress as a last resort
Be patient and persistent
