Observers

Notes

The agenda comes from issues labelled with TSC-agenda across all of the repositories in the nodejs org. Please label any additional issues that should be on the agenda before the meeting starts.

Joining the meeting

Uberconference; participants should have the link & numbers, contact me if you don't.

Public participation

We stream our conference call straight to YouTube so anyone can listen to it live, it should start playing at https://www.youtube.com/c/nodejs+foundation/live when we turn it on. There's usually a short cat-herding time at the start of the meeting and then occasionally we have some quick private business to attend to before we can start recording & streaming. So be patient and it should show up.

Many of us will be on IRC in #node-dev on Freenode if you'd like to interact, we have a Q/A session scheduled at the end of the meeting if you'd like us to discuss anything in particular. @nodejs/collaborators in particular if there's anything you need from the TSC that's not worth putting on as a separate agenda item, this is a good place for that

[fhinkel]

If we have #431 on the agenda, can we please invite @bnb

[Trott]

@fhinkel We agreed at the last meeting @jasnell attended that we would keep that labeled tsc-agenda but not pick it up until @jasnell is back from vacation, so that would be either January 3 or January 10. (Pretty sure he's back on January 3 but that meeting is currently slated for a time slot that is inconvenient for @jasnell. On the other hand, we do have a proposal for changing the meeting times, so we'll see.)

Related: I'm removing that item from this agenda and from the Google doc. That said, if we think it needs discussing this week, please add it back or (perhaps slightly better) open a separate issue which more precisely frames the issue that needs discussion sooner rather than later.

[Trott]

Observers to invite: @gibfahn and @BridgeAR for nodejs/node#14795

At the meeting, I will probably propose that we table #443 because @mhdawson is on vacation this week and next.

@MylesBorins Do we need to keep #311 on the agenda? (Not advocating, just asking.)

[rvagg]

tsc-review items (FYI this can be easily generated by https://github.com/nodejs/node-meeting-agenda, with node-meeting-agenda tsc-review):

nodejs/node

[Trott]

Looks like @danbev hasn't been added to the invite list yet, so @-mentioning them here for notification purposes.

[Trott]

(Also, just added @danbev manually to the original post here and the minutes doc.)

[danbev]

(Also, just added @danbev manually to the original post here and the minutes doc.)

Thanks, I actually thought that this was because I marked that time in the spreadsheet as a bad time for me. l might not make it I'm afraid (still trying to see if I might get a sitter and will know for sure tomorrow).

[danbev]

Sorry, I won't be able to make it today.

[addaleax]

I won’t be able to make it either

[rvagg]

4am for me, opting out

[evanlucas]

Eating lunch with my little girl for her birthday, so I won't be able to make it today. I should be back next week though.

[BridgeAR]

Thanks for inviting me but I probably can not make it as I am going to be at the airport at that time. I guess @gibfahn is the best person to talk to in this case anyway.

[Fishrock123]

I'll be able to make and stream it

[dshaw]

Thanks, @rvagg. I need to start using https://github.com/nodejs/node-meeting-agenda, with node-meeting-agenda neuf-agenda for @nodejs/user-feedback.

[Trott]

Minutes: #451

[joyeecheung]

Had a fever last night and was not able to make it, sorry.
