Notes

The agenda comes from issues labelled with ctc-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 CTC that's not worth putting on as a separate agenda item, this is a good place for it.

[ChALkeR]

@rvagg @jasnell It's a bit too late, but I would like to mention #7475. We could postpone the discussion on that one to the next meeting, though.

[jasnell]

We can definitely talk about #7475

[joshgav]

I believe @jdalton wants to finalize nodejs/node-eps#33. Should we put that on the agenda one more time?

[shigeki]

Sorry, I can't make it this week.

👍

[Fishrock123]

That's a lot of stuff, can the Modules stuff wait a week? I feel most of the other items are more pressing right now? Isn't there still a few/couple weeks until the TC39 meeting?

We should mention it to draw attention though.

[Trott]

Standup section is ready for people to fill it in.

Having a clear signal of a direction helps other areas move along. We'll need to discuss the upcoming TC39 meeting, timing, impact strategy a bit during the CTC meeting.

[chrisdickinson]

I can't make it to this meeting — apologies. I'll take a look at the EPS PR though!

[srl295]

late regrets for this meeting… nothing new to report this time.

[indutny]

Late regrets from me too.

[rvagg]

No live stream today, sorry

[jasnell]

Wow... totally lost track of time today. Just realized that it's already almost 4pm and that I completely missed the call. Anything particularly important? :-)

[jdalton]

@jasnell both node-eps/pull/18 and node-eps/pull/33 are looking for feedback to discuss merging next week or the week after (depending on how many are on holiday).
