[cddlm] Notes from the regular meeting on 5/10

[Ayla Debora Dantas de Souza - Projeto Ourgrid]

Hi Steve and all,

in fact our problem with HP Endpoint today was not with the "/". We were 
using the correct  URL. When we tried again after the meeting it worked 
and 45% of the tests we had implemented have passed. Before that, the 
exception we had  was a connection time out that I don't know why it 
happened. Maybe the server was being updated, I don't know.
