+# Week 8 meeting and activities
+
+_(July 16,2024)_
+
+## Attendees
+
+-   [Divij Sharma](https://github.com/dvjsharma)
+-   [Gaurav Mishra](https://github.com/GMishx)
+-   [Valens Niyonsenga](https://github.com/valens200)
+
+## Discussion
+
+-   Discussed the implementation of `/jobs`, `/jobs/{id}`, `/jobs/all` endpoints.
+-   Following suggestions/improvements were discussed:
+    1. The `/jobs/history` endpoint can be safely deprecated in V2, since the same functionality can be achieved by using the `/jobs?upload=<id>` endpoint.
+    2. The `startTime` and `endTime` fields in the `jobQueue` do not contain the timezone information. It was suggested to add the timezone information to these fields and make the format consistent with the `queueDate` field.
+    3. The output should be sorted by the `queueDate` field in descending order, so that the latest jobs are displayed first.
+    4. For the failing tests, it was suggested to cut out additional data from the mid-function calls and mock the object as a whole.
+-   Briefly discussed and reviewed the test case development for the REST API with [Valens](https://github.com/valens200).
+
+## Activities
